Let them spend the money, because they achieve f**k all.
I mean if I supported a team that signs players like O'Meley, Fitzgibbon, Long, Westerman and Berrigan I would expect to be in the top 4 every season.

It was all Agars fault. They will be World Club Champions next season without him

Why would you enquire? We paid a fee - i seriously doubt you are in the position to do the same?

Reported as a 'substantial six figure sum' on the Sporting Life site. No wonder Bradford were happy to snap your hand off, the new Hull owner clearly has more money than sense.

We have a cracking Australian utility back I'm sure Cas would be content to let go for a mere £50K....

Nothing wrong with the water carrier we have at the moment. Why would we need Mick?

I have this nagging fear that our recruitment inactivity has had less to do with Millwards Leigh commitments than a dearth of available talent and the club's ability to secure it. How much of IMs time would be needed to supply our BOD with his targets for the relevant officials to pursue. And if it's about him having to evaluate the current squad, especially the OOC players, he was never going to be able to do that properly before pre-season training.
If we aren't already well advanced in negotiations with potential recruits we'll be fishing in a very small pool.

I would have to agree with you there.

I'm struggling to remember a start to a pre season as quiet on the recruitment front. We all hope the board will pull some rabbits out of the hat as regards to signings but with the rumoured lack of funds i have my doubts.

I have got another season ticket for next season more out of loyalty than encouragement from our current board...where i think we desperately need some fresh ideas, just sitting on their hands praying for Opus to work their magic isn't going to pull in fair weather fans.
