It doesn?t specifically prove the point I made but it very much points to a competitive budget. Unless of course you think PW didn?t have one during his tenure.
I remember reading this article at the time and thinking it was just more smarmy words from our esteemed COO.
He was unlikely to say anything other than we have a competitive budget as that would be tantamount to heresy for criticising the chairman, something no-one on the board ever dares to do!
We may or may not have a competitive budget and, to be honest, I don't really know what one would look like anyway at this level.
One thing is for sure is that we rarely recruit proven players from a higher level to give us a realistic chance of a promotion push.
I think quite a few people were hoping the club might have done that in its centenary year.
