ALS ALS Exclusive: Takeover No Go



Indicated a purchase price then backtracked when things got serious. When he needs his ego massaging again hopefully we're in a position to tell him to fuck off.
 
ALS: But does it mean our signings will be bargain basement?

CM: It’s interesting that fans are still worried about free signings after last year’s signings were some of the stand out performers (McLaughlin, Maguire). It’s a function of how football at this level operates. There will be free signings but, as we showed last year, when money is needed to get a player that we want, we’ve done that. Last season we spent £5m on players. That’s more than the rest of the division combined.



We’ll be signing players who are the right players to move the team forwards and get promotion from this division. They might not necessarily be marquee signings but it’s about improving and developing the squad. Funnily enough it would probably quieten some of the so called fans we were talking about earlier if we bought someone for millions but if it wouldn’t be the right thing for the club we won’t do it.
 
Fine. The new investment didn't sound like it was going to be a massive game changer financially anyway at this stage. At least now everything knows where we stand and, hopefully, they can crack on with getting the side ready for the season ahead. As Methven says, they can keep speaking to people in the background. Hopefully the right investor appears, they can spend months getting everything right, and they can come on board in good time for the season after this one when, hopefully, we're in the championship and in need of the investment
