If we had spent an extra 20m this summer, we'd have a better chance of going up, but we certainly wouldn't be a dead cert
We haven't represented good value as an investment so I'm not surprised Tan hasn't got the chequebook out more often.
He's not a football man himself so is relying on the input from others, and given what's happened with most of those I'm not surprised he hasn't splashed more cash.
If we found ourselves at the top of the table come january then I think funds would be available. If we have an outside chance of the playoffs then probably not.
