The loan is restrictive and that is the main problem. As I understand it:-
We can’t pay a fee
Squad size is limited
We can only offer 1 year deals (although we appear to have sneaked a couple in)
As we know we’re no longer paying big wages (rightly) and our league position is ‘precarious’ we have precious little to recommend us. However it is within the club’s power to improve the situation should they wish to.
