It also begs the question as to where the money was last season and why we didnt significantly improve the quality of the squad in January.

Maybe Fitton didn't want to spend the money on players? But Wray is happy to?

Ritchie, Caddis, Ferry, Benyon, Flint. It will be less than player sales though to be fair when you take into account Greer, Morrison and Austin. But we did spend. I take your point on the January transfer window though. We didn't do enough business then and it probably cost us. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

For which I still blame Wilson. The money was there, he just didn't know how to spend it. |

Or nobody wanted to play for him. But yes it was Wilsons fault. |

...where did those numbers come from? 150k for Flint? 100k for Benyon? Christ, no wonder we didnt let Wilson spend. |

Think Benyon was more like 70k and the chance are that the Flint fee won't have been all up front either.

Still not 1.5m though. If the 1.5m is there now - then at a guess it would have been there in January? As far as I'm aware we havent had a windfall since January due to some sort of add on. If JJs figures are accurate then we spent 375k in January. Obviously not enough to get us out of the trouble we were in. Of course, the £1.5m figure still has no actual foundation behind it, does it? |
