There without doubt should be a panel set up overseeing this type of carry in the lower leagues. Swann should have had his knuckles wrapped on the very first season we/he decided to spend more than what we were earning.
One point he spent around 120% more than what we were earning. A panel overlooking such matters should have nipped that in the bud very early on because that’s absolutely ridiculous.
More certainly needs to be done.
They were almost 150% and at its worth pointing out nobody on this forum- nor on social media- was particularly concerned; we were content with watching entertaining football and trying to compete with Sheffield United and Bolton.
Wasn’t it Phil Parkinson who said Bradford- a club with 15k attendances- couldn’t compete with Bury and Scunthorpe in wages at the time.
