Throwing money at the team doesn't guarantee success in the same way that reducing the budget doesn't guarantee failure. AH is using proper business sense in having the courage to balance the books for the long term benefit of the club. If the club was run by this board we'd be sacking managers left right and centre and be in administration.
If we combine the wages of lomax, parker, worthington, rowney, alessandra, colbeck and brill (IMO players who have contributed c*ck all on the pitch this season) we could use those wages to bring in two or three quality players.
Penney has to make the right signings and trim his squad.
