think a squad built on £3.50 and a packet of crisps has done remarkably well. Play off last year, few points off second spot this year and a cup final…plus getting through the group stages. He hasn’t been able to have a settled squad over the two years but has remarkably got them to within touching distance. Yes it’s brutal to watch when half the squad were missing but there were glimpses of what could be done with the right players. They have to take risks in the injured/unheard off player but they seem to have a decent grasp - Allardice, Duffy, Deas, Shaw - who had heard of them before? Hopefully few more of the young lads goals a step. Need an older warhorse on there and a few more rough diamonds and I think we’ve got the making of a decent team.
That is absolute nonsense and perhaps is a perfect example of the acceptance of the rhetoric from above regarding player budget/size/expense. This season has seen one of the biggest and most expensive ICT squads in its 29 year history. And we’re in the Championship. The fact that you( and others) cannot see this is strange to say the least. (Perhaps the fact that wage spend is now not included in the annual accounts may have been a clue.).
