Who's suggesting we should buy another player every time we lose a game of football? Don't be so stupid. I merely asked a question about a rumour IE what this thread is supposed to be about. The bottom line is our midfield needs improvement. Edited August 18, 2023 by IanMarshall's Mullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather let Darren Royle and the board be the judge of that but you're entitled to your opinions.

History tells us it does, the more you spend the bigger prizes it buys. Perfect comparison. Wrexham won promotion because Hollywood stars pumped money in. Stockport won promotion because their owner pumped money in. It took both a couple of years, but, I agree, of course investing money helps. Weird to argue otherwise. It's what we've needed for....well, forever. However, you still need the right people to make it actually work. Frank's doing his bit. The manager, however, has a lot to prove. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's ludicrous to think money doesn't buy success in football. It's all relative to what degree. Forest Green, Gretna Green even Fulham on their rise from the lower reaches. The right generals of course spend it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
