Do think Pearson needs to tell the fans if we are spending or planning on spending full cap next season

Satae 8 carries for 47 metres, Fash 5 for 23 metres, Brown 6 for 28 metres.

The one and only positive I can attempt to spin from yesterdays embarrassment is, as alluded to in the shopping list thread, even players under contract may not be safe. Hopefully that is true, as it’ll certainly speed up the transition process, but with it I have my doubts over one sticking point which is of course, money.

For me, this club simply cannot afford to have another year of mediocrity, and to be honest, that is been generous especially over the last couple. And whilst we run on a reduced budget we are certainly running the risk of this been a bigger probability. Ultimately, this lies with the man at the top. He has two options.

He fully backs Tony, giving him full cap to work with to give us every opportunity to avoid another season of disappointment.

Or he realises he has taken the club as far as he can on his own, and accept investment from outside the club.

Failing both, he should be looking to sell up. Call it harsh, but I truly fear where this club could be heading. It’s toxic and quite frankly disgusting they have allowed our great club to be in the state it currently is.

Just a hypothesis as to why allegedly offers of investment in exchange for control have been knocked back. Obviously we can't see director remuneration in our abridged accounts but a thought?
