the old 'if we don't get promoted we have already laid the blame elsewhere' quote...

i very much doubt this, after the past year there will be very little cash floating around the lower leagues, regardless of takeovers, many will have to rely on selling/freeing wages before moving in the market and freebies will be to the fore...just because someone has a bit money does not mean they are going to splash it around.

To be fair to him he is likely to know the sorts of wages we are offering. I could imagine if we have got O'Nien signing on again he will have an idea on the wage we have offered. It is also widely reported we have bid £1m for Sanderson. I fully expect we will have spent a good amount of money by the end of the window, both in terms of wages and in terms of fees. You could even point to paying a fee for Stewart when nobody else dared spend anything.

Exactly

Can't remember which manager said it in our first season down, but basically alluding to the fact that there was only one automatic promotion slot to play for as we were "gone, as far as the rest of the league is concerned" - to be fair, we probably should have been. In fact we would have had we appointed an experienced manager instead of a novice likely to cack his pants at 1-0 up

Looking more and more like he was onto something doesnt it? Wigan and Wyke. Us and O'Nien. Both 3 year contracts, could we be what he is talking about. Pritchard as well apparently had championship offers that couldnt match ours. Heres hoping this accusation we throw our financial muscle around comes true and we finish top.
