The question is, after we have paid off Mr Fenty, assume it will be in the summer, then will our board feel that proper investment can take place, instead of taking freebies and loans to build that project.

If I had £300,000 to sign a player I wouldn't waste on Ollie Palmer.

Forget about Palmers wages, JS & AP say we have the cash, but we couldn't afford Hunts wages. Cash, WHAT CASH. It's getting to sound like a Fenty ploy to keep the fans quiet.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

There are better strikers for 300k.

We just can’t compete with the big spenders in this league. Neither can the vast majority of clubs in the 2 leagues above.

Our best chance of getting out of this division is building a strong side over a couple of seasons.

Nobody at the club said we couldn't afford Hunt. Maybe it was more a principle thing - almost being held to ransom by Sheffield Wed by increasing his wage from one third to the full wack and he still remained a Sheffield player with a subsequent contract extension.

I think it is more the principle.

We could pay a reasonable transfer fee for a goalscorer, perhaps from a lower league or a league 1 squad player or whatever is available, but we don't want to.


How could you possibly know that?

Exactly. That would be utter lunacy.

If two multi millionaire owners with extra revenues from increased attendances cannot afford a reasonable transfer fee then what is the point?

The owners have in fact said many times that money is available and would listen to Hurst if he wanted a particular player.

So far at least it is just words.
