    It’s very relevant - as it discusses the change in direction of recruiting players.
    It’s far more relevant for example than many topics discussed on this message board - including the daft posts that say things like ‘we should take a punt on Fred Smith who plays for the top pub club’.

    As for ‘spending within our means’ - that is not really part of this thread.
    That’s for another new thread.
    But I’ll just say this on that topic - for all those that banged on about we can’t afford this that or the other - and the board said ‘we aren’t going to go crazy’.
    ............ Ten new players so far - many of of them for around the £1 million mark - and all the wages that accompany those new signings.

    McBurnie stopped being relevant the moment we got relegated.

    And they haven't gone crazy. If you think we've spent more than we have recouped then you are deluded. Plus the wages they will be on won't be astronomical as unproven youngsters. We are living within our means and I'm more than happy with that.
