If we are, as I think we must be, paying generous salaries that's a big turnaround from a couple of years ago when we supposedly had a tight wage cap. Loosening of the purse strings, or more evidence of the lack of a long term plan?
Morison oversaw the biggest influx of new players I can remember at the club two years ago, but it really was quantity over quality - I thin k there is every chance that, if you took the Ł1.5 million for Robinson out (ithat deal always seemed so at odds with out approach through the summer of 2022), I reckon we've spent more on four players this summer than we did on about fifteen in 2022.
