It seems to me that we're missing the balance and stability that we had when we were in div1 previously.
If i remember correctly J.R. had all of the players in his squad on the same wages, no stars just a solid TEAM.
I don't know how much power and influence TB is given over player contracts, especially considering that he's only signed up until the end of the season himself. But as everybody is saying, we need to secure our players for next season and our management team as well. Whether that will be TB & MM or not.
We may have less or no money, but the club has to, within it's means, secure a team for next season. We were only promotion hopefuls last time around with a squad on the same or similar wages but we won the league.
If we do happen to win the league this season i can't see us having much of a successful survival battle next season. and with no long term plan in place we're not going anywhere but backwards..........
