If Notts didn't need the money then it would make sense to get knocked out of the cups ASAP and concentrate on the leagues.
Apparently though, we don't have an automatic promotion budget - despite the 2nd highest gates, which should mean any extra cash would be very welcome, but no - they want to concentrate on the league. Yet last season, instead of going for it from the position LW left us in, we brought in somebody who clearly needed to learn on the job and since mid-September has overseen mid-table form.
