Bottom line is it's the clubs job to sell the vision, get the commercial revenues, scout the right players. All this talk of budgets, area, standing, is utterly pointless and irrelevant until 1st September.
Ny only commentary on it thus far based on press and January spend is that there is hopefully money available, and hopefully we're after more Bruno's and less Wood's.
My only additional point is the club has frequently attracted decent players even during some dark times. In short, there's no excuse to not have a decent transfer window and set us up for a comfortable top10 finish with a decent cup run. And that the likes of Wood, Longstaff, Almiron, Fraser, etc., should be rarely seen.
