It's nice to see the club trying to cut wages and live within it's means but isnt this just another example of the mismanagement at the club, particularly financially.

We splashed out £9m on 2 centre halfs in the summer, an area where we were already strong and probably as a championship club we shouldn't be spending that amount on players for a particular area. We also brought in Guerra who must have been on a decent packet, Macheda similarly. Also we spent £2.5m on Adam Le Fondre. We've also had a load of players on existing contracts which must carry decent salaries - Kimbo, Jones, Fabio etc.

Shouldn't the cull of players on high wages started in the summer, tighter controls put on spending on new players and we start to live as championship club again but with obvious ambition?

I appreciate Ole was the manager and managerial philosophies change and also we haven't progressed as much as the powers that be, thought we would but provisions for this should have been made at the start of the sesson not now.

Dalman and Tan have been present throughout this period and again for me, is just another example of how poorly run the club is.
