    I agree having money helps but without the right management, players with the right attitudes, good tactics and hard work, you wont be successful.
    Exactly this

    There are players out there that don't cost anywhere near that.Scotty has done well picking these players out .it's up to us to offer a decent wage to sign them.To compete we have to get nearer the level of the league we are now in.Smaller clubs than ours have done it.

    And alot bigger clubs have failed aswell.

    More bigger clubs than smaller clubs.

    I'm disheartened aswell. You can't see how the hell we are going to get 7,8,9 players in that can compete at the level.

    We are a top league 1 club and bar a miracle a no Hope club In the championship.

    But 10 games in people will be blaming Paul warne and wanting him sack.

    Knowing we can't compete so keep it tight and play the long ball in hoping to sniff something out

    We’ve been here before though. There’s a big difference between Scotty identifying suitable players and Paul Warne wanting them

    If league positions were determined by the amount of money a club has to spend/will spend then we might as well give up now. Thankfully they aren't and we won't.

    Exactly

    Like cooking, you can get different end products from the same ingredients depending on how good a cook you are
