the thing with this season is, the manager hasnt been here long theres alot of different avenues im sure roy will be exploring with the financial status. the sale of certain players hold the key to our spending, but for the likes of masch and barca theres also an uncertainty over money their club too which slows things down even more. its hard to predict the future.
in the past when benitez was here i totally agree though. far too slow in the transfer market as per usual. look at united over the last few years... (also a club in debt) in June they announced their signings every year. one it year was anderson and nani and this year hernandez was signed well before the world cup.
no matter how good or bad your season you have to continue to improve.
this year is somewhat of an exception though. its kind of a transitional period for the club at the moment. lets just hope its resolved as soon as possible, and we can finally move in the right direction. lets get behind our new manager and look forward to the season, like roy says its far too easy to support a football club thats doing really well, its the times when they arent playing well they most need it
