Lets do some more comparisons.
This is what we need to look like:
http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=20120145Risser didn't look good enough to me, but Smith was on the bench.
The other 10, for that time, are as good or better than what we have now. And yes, we paid for it! Like I think Flynn is doing, Di Canio extracted more than the sum of the parts as well.
Obviously we don't really know, but I'd be surprised if the budget for that season was less than triple what our budget is now. I'd love to be in that position, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't feel like that realistic an ask without the sudden arrival of a sugar daddy.
