We've had signings that don't work out who haven't been on trial too.

Was your contact a member of the squad? Or maybe a kit man?

Could understand your point if they'd ploughed in and bought someone on that basis.

So that is why they took him on trial, to have a closer look.

Isn't that the whole purpose of a trial? What did you think of his performances? We had no scouting department. Would you rather we just stuck with what we had? Agents passing on videos of clients is commonplace. No different to most other clubs.

So basically you are complaining that they won't just spunk a load of their money into the club, whilst refusing to give the club money yourself. Nothing wrong with being self sufficient. It's the way any club should be run, and yes it could work in the Championship with a decent fanbase...

Pick up the phone ;)

More on a par with non league. I thought he did OK though. Shame.

Potentially, if we need additions to kick on, I can see that happening. Unfortunately, without knowing the budget before and after we won't know. Maybe a question for Mark Robins after the January window if attendances are good. Salaries at the club have continued to go down year on year as we...

Nope, last summer after the sale of Maddison.

Did we pay a fee for Reid or is he just expensive wage wise?

Maddison was sold on the last day of the transfer window. That would likely have gone into the summer budget, however, as we know, most money from sales will go into covering operating losses. The only reason we have been sustainable the last couple of years is transfer money coming in.

Higher than expected attendances allowed Mowbray to spend in 2015/16 winter window. What he brought in was crap has beens who were overpriced (wage wise). Just because it wasn't spent wisely doesn't mean it wasn't spent. More money in means more money available to spend (not all will be...

Or Joe Cole for that matter.

I agree, but there are ways to protest that don't involve staying away. For me that would just be cutting my nose off to spite my face.

Crowds have reduced so the budget has got lower. At the point where crowds increase I will be able to show evidence. More money coming in would absolutely mean more money available to spend. There is no evidence of money being taken out of the club, unless I have missed something?

This is probably the only good thing they've done in their time here. Football, particularly in the lower leagues, needs to move back to a more sustainable model.

For me the biggest problem we have at the moment is the ground situation. Unfortunately people staying away is giving Sisu more ammo to move is to a smaller stadium like the Butts or Liberty Way once this year's contract runs out, or even worse outside the local area. They will point out that we...

Funds for court cases don't seem to be coming out of club funds. The club has been set up to be self sufficient one way or another. Less fans will mean lower playing budget. More fans will mean higher playing budget. Not going isn't impacting Sisu in any way but will impact Mark Robins and the team.

It's a shame. Assume you've probably stopped enjoying it? If not, the only person it affects would be you. I refuse to give up something I enjoy because of Sisu. Not letting them rule my life.
