So only signings made via transfer fees can be considered as backing?
The amount of astute signings the club have made over the past few years is fantastic.
'A few extra pounds', which signings did we miss out on because of £20? Which clubs haven't missed out on signings due to financial reasons?
The club is not embarrassing. And to suggest some of our players are scraps is insulting, to say the least. A vast majority of players signed by clubs are because another club doesn't want them anymore. Why are we expected to sign players who everyone wants? How on earth do you plan on us bettering many other clubs in that scenario?
