Not often. But how often does a league table totally reflect budgets?

Regardless, the value of their main starting 11 was a fraction of their rivals.

Well, they don't contradict my own points, but ok. My parting piece is that MR has previously delivered above budget so I'm confident that he would continue the same. Leicester won the EPL with a squad valued at no more than £25m. Money (and throwing it at players) doesn't always equate to...

No you didn't explain why. In response to my question you've quoted, you said: Because the quality of the league this season is utter crap - And how do you know it'll be better next season? and clubs are still feeling the effects of COVID on their budgets. - And that's no different to us...

So Dave lied in his programme notes?

So who did we receive 'substantial' bids for?

Then what are you wanting them to do...I'm not sure what your point is? I wanted them to bring in more attacking options - they didn't. Am I upset? A little. Is it the end of the world and means we won't get the play offs this season and are going to struggle next season? No.

There's a fine balance, isn't there though? How many times have we commented on teams chucking millions at a shot going up and then not making. A risk strategy that a club in our position cannot employ. And the two clubs you've picked - one who've been an established Championship side for years...

Yeah but how do you know clubs are going to look to spend again? How do you know we're not in a similar position to those other clubs? Are we not still feeling the effects of Covid? And saying the league is crap - we're going to lose 6 teams who don't deserve to be here at the end of the...

New lot of TV money, new sponsorship, potential investment from wealthy individuals? Edit - maybe outgoing transfers as well? We've never been blessed with lots of cash but have signed players for money. Why would that stop now?

Oh god...that'll get a few going!

But we have competed in the championship...so surely he's wrong or the model has changed?

But how do we know that next season won't afford us an even better opportunity? I don't buy the mentality that we're going to miss the boat this season if we miss out on the playoffs.

When did he say that - genuine question? I seem to think it was a few seasons ago. If so, our model might have changed?

Oh really? Now that I wasn't aware of.

The one thing I'm sure of is that MR has likely worked without the funds he's wanted, before, here at CCFC. It won't be new for him and he's done ok so far. I know the Championship is different to L1 and L2 but we still need to put trust in MR and his backroom team to keep delivering the growth...

Then that is strange. I can live with Gyo, Waghorn and Tavares until Godden is fit but if one of those gets injured, seems strange not to have that option.

I mean, to be fair, there's an element of truth in that. Also with bringing Gyo in in the summer, our wage bill will undoubtedly be higher than last season. On another note, I assume Walker has a recall clause?

Disappointed we didn't bring in more attacking options but we managed to offload a number who have no future here so that's positive. Really angry though that we sold our best player because Boddy touted them in a match day programme....🙄
