The shyte business we did in January also


That sh*te business looks to have paid off though, don't you think? We let what, 10 players go? A complete cost cutting exercise which I think we can all agree, had to happen, given our wages to turnover ratio. On the back of that we've still managed to secure top six. If we do end up getting 4th then freeing up all those wages without affecting our league position has to be seen as a very well calculated gamble, if it isn't already that, given top six was the remit this season. We are where we set out to be at the start of the season and we've gone some way to balancing the books as well.
