Not trying to get all Castro on people's anuses, but even if we matched Darlow's demands, players like him would naturally pick Leeds over us 9/10.
 
When the owner pushes to sign someone like Sinik for close to £4 million and the kid has barely played for us and has now missed yet another full pre-season due to lack of fitness, you’re absolutely right that I will criticise the owner. I’ll also criticise the manager when it’s warranted.

Think of it like the Mossad’s Tenth Man Doctrine. If 9 people have their head in the sand and think everything’s great, I’ll raise my concerns of why I don’t think it’s great.
 
So we dont go after a player who has proved his abiliity and instead sign or persevere with players with a 25% chance of being worth the money
lower mid table beckons
You of all people Pete, should know it's all about money. I'm sure if the owner/club was flush with money, or was prepared to spend shed loads of money, Karl Darlow would be having a medical at City today and not Leeds. Acun got his fingers burnt this time last year and we are now paying the price, simply, we are skint, at our limit, and we have to juggle with what we have.

i still don’t understand this….last summer we spunked the KLP fee, how much money has. Acun actually put in?? Not that much I would argue

The thing that's harming us the most is income, as a club we just don't generate much at all... It's better then it was under the Allams, but it's was hardly difficult to improve on that.

We just need crowds in, people spending and cooperate tie ups, Acun is doing everything he can to tempt his billionaire friend to get involved more and more. But some of the things I'm hearing could cause us issues ( think over inflated sponsorship deals etc ) with the EFL etc

of course money is important
we seem to be making some bad decisions
we seem to bring people in with no idea whether they are any good
and then balk at getting somebody who we know is good
