It wasn’t spending someone else’s money though. It was the clubs and I do believe in a previous statement from Mr Ego he mentioned “we gambled” !!
Thing is ” WE ” did not. The adopted recruitment protocol was the gamble and remained so to present day. Go back to the sales of Wallace, Holmes, Townsend – estimated revenue was £2.3 million. And yet what young talent was brought in to keep the production delivering a seasonal ‘golden egg’.
