sticking to the rules is one thing, but to lose £4million when the club could lose £8million is literally playing with one hand tied behind his back.

Yes I know I'll get shot down with "it's his money" and "put your own money where your mouth is" argument but I just find it strange that we aren't fully maximising the rules to our benefit.

As for the managers ELT, I liked Robins and the only time I said he should go was about 20mins into the Bournemouth game. For what it's worth though I think the constraints placed on him from above had a lot to do with his downfall. The club talked about pathways and invested in the youth team/players for the future whilst forgetting about the problems immediately in front of them. Billing,Tronstad,Carr,Carroll,Bojaj and Lolley all signed for significant fees I believe, we are gambling that they will pay off but as yet none have.
The signings of Jon Stead was described to us by Clibbens as 'sometimes you have to give the fans what they want'.....fantastic £5k a week on a donkey that I certainly didn't want and I suspect Robins didn't really want him either. The same sort of thing applies to Peltier who is fast challenging Stead to be one of our worst signings ever, I can't help feel these signings were 'board' signings not management.
