But agre that at least this time we can afford them.
Exactly how I see it. We picked up some players on a real downward curve too at the tail end.
There is cap space left so I imagine though we’ve spent more there’ll be good wiggle room for another 1/2 if needed or a real quality pick up down the line.

First few through the banks doors did the rest unfortunately didn’t . The more you hear about those days the more ridiculous it sounds . Like someone saying they’d won the lottery and will give you a shed load ,and you going out and buying a roller without first getting money in the bank , incredible naivety or serious mismanagement at the highest level .

A light hearted comparison nothing more , hence the smile , which if you were one of those unfortunate players it was anything but
