Mistake. They happen.That’s why we are in League 2.Foreseeable future? Well probably 2 seasons. Any more we don’t know do we. Give DS time. He needs this summer.

But the point you are making stands Nudga.So in order as above.Wellens. Free. Sold do not think we got a million for him. To be honest not sure what fee was involved.Mills. Think we paid £300.00 sold for around 2.5 million. ( not sure exact fee ) Whiteman. Paid £150.00. Sold for 1.5 million possible add ons which might take it up to 1.75 million.Sharp. Paid £1.1 million. Sold for 2 million Marquis. Free. Sold 1.5 million All above figures were what were reported at the time. Sorry to be pedantic. But all were good business financially but we lost some very good players of course.

You think and you're not sure and a few might be's but my figures are incorrect?I just got the figures from wiki and transfer fees websites.
I’m not sure wellens did spend it on dross, he signed 3 players I think it was,then had to get youth players on loan to get any new players in, the sustainable model will only work if you start off with a decent squad, I thank the owner for all the money he has put into the club, just think if he could have extended his kindness a little more we would not be in this position now
