May well be that his hands are tied Wilki and he is going in knowing the maximum package he can spend almost feeling it a waste of time. However, if you look down this list of players it can't make positive reading for anyone who thinks the manager and committee are getting the buys right or that it works as is can it? Even a slightly higher ratio would have us on more points.

I like the manager and there is a lot of things he's improved, changed and done well, but in the end it boils down to who you buy and field out there and that group is terrifying especially when you have an owner as tight as this and can ill afford so many clangers!
