To me, all of this delay proves that we must be walking on a financial tightrope and in danger of falling foul of financial fair play which could mean future transfer embargos etc.
Players wages will count for a hefty part of our balance sheet, and despite a 40% cut! having the likes of Jelly,Abel, Diame, Thudd, Dawson etc on our books must be a contributing factor for our transfer offers being so prudent with the transfer fees.
Maybe we need thudd plus one more to go before we can increase the fees.
