Yes, That and about £10million quid to spend on wages...
What a complete cop out that is in the context of this discussion. you don't need any money (let alone millions) to install a winning mentality. You could install it in a Sunday pub team. It doesn't mean they have to win every game but they will bloody bust a gut to try to. None of that with Mr Mediocrity, too happy to quietly take the draw and reel off a list of excuses for the lack of points gained.
This, "we should be happy with our lot, and not demand too much" mentality has spread from Uncle Cyprus, down to the board, manager, players and even fans are now toeing the company line.
Er no it's called reality. It saves me from going through life with the emotional development of a toddler. :idea:
So because A, B & C have got more money than us it's a convenient excuse to not try too hard? Beaten before you even begin mate.
God knows how Graydon got his team competing with Fulham & Man City. Would've ben much better to cry about a lack of funds and quietly give up. We have the club we deserve :roll:
