BUT if we spend money in transfer market some have to succeed to improve otherwise we will be in big big trouble..and we have either bought badly and very badly..so the transfer strategy has to 70% succeed not 70% fail.<br /><br />In my rough estimation we have spent £40 million and recovered nothing and we could have saved £30m of that and there would have been no change in results...<br /><br />I wonder how the finances of the club are like?Hope backers have deep pocketsAlan Kasmirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835526894895005925noreply@blogger.com
