Can't disagree but we aren't hardly going to bring in world class player's mate. Got to realise where we are. It's shit but reality check needed with some fans marra.

Couple of more seasons in this league should knock that ambitious chip off some of our fans shoulders, eh?

We need knocking down a peg or two, realise we're not a big club

It all comes down to how you recruit and who is doing it for you. Luton made some good free signings and used the loan market well. Barnsley also seem to have a knack of picking players up and selling for profit. I certainly wouldn't be against utilising the loan market and keeping our powder dry for next summer should we go up.

We have a significant percentage of fans who still think the only answer is to throw unnecessarily large amounts of money around. It's the one legacy of Short the owners can't get rid of.

And yet the players who have done the business for us over the years were probably bought for modest amounts.

You need to be extremely f***ing good with player recruitment, whilst spending next to nothing whilst getting promoted twice.

Saying that spending a bit of money won't give you a much better chance of going up, is daft, because your odds of going up improve if you spend

He knows this, but thinks he's being funny by having the joy to remind us that we're in league one.

Remember what league we're in now, before you want us to get promoted... We're in league one ffs

Spending the money wasn't the problem with Short it was how it was spent. We will need to spend significant money if we aspirations of getting back to where we belong.

Hudderfield, Norwich, Sheffield United, Burnley and others didn't. And even less is needed to get out of League 1. Who is a far more important question than how much.
 
Let Donald do his job with any investment & recruitment - judge him when the window closes
