Terry - its not clear from your brief note but if we are talking about
transfer fees alone I think thats misleading. I'm pretty sure that Leeds
are good payers and some of the players who have chosen us may have held
their existing clubs to ransom so they could join us. We have a big squad
and I'll bet our wage bill is amongst the biggest in this league.
I was talking just transfer fees as that was what the article was talking
about. I also thought that was what other people meant when they talked
about Blackwell's spending. There has been talk from the club about our
"wage structure" so it sounds as if we are trying to live within our means
now (your best friend Gary and Mr. Bakke not included of course).
I don't think it's necessarily fair to include the wage bill in Blackwell's
spending as I'm sure Mr. Bates will be handling that side of things and I'm
sure any player trying it on would be given a quick "Fuck off" from him.
We saw on Sunday how good the squad is didnt we. Very disappointed with
KB's team selection for the Preston game.
It did indeed show us how poor our "second string" are, but I wasn't too
disappointed with the selections. I'd rather he did it that way and have the
team he wanted available and rested for Friday.
There is, of course, the argument about handing them a psychological
advantage but I'm not sure how valid that is.
