Board have had a delicate balancing job. Got to be as competitive as possible yet the debts of the club had to be reduced substantially and with Michelle saying they were now below £100K they have done a great job pulling everyone together.
They are not going to risk the club so the recruit will be very measured. Even though no one has been signed I would not be surprised if talks had not been held. As to strategy well I don’t think wages are the problem because there are some players who have joined clubs on much lower budgets. I prefer 442 so think the players we have would be fine but we play 3511 or 352 or 3142.
Restarting the academies will be a good start but they will take several years to produce their 1st players.
So need to know the formation to be played before you can reruit.
