I heard Danny and Nicky claiming they had good football contacts which might help recruitment but there will none the less be a need for a substantial budget to work with.
I’m going to guess that £3-5 Million will be required as a minimum plus unloading players for whom a fee might be achieved (Marquis, Harrison, Curtis). Even if the Owners will provide that sort of money, how will the increased wages be accommodated within their ‘We only eat what we kill’ philosophy ?
Clearly there are dozens of unemployed managers who would accept a minuscule budget just to get a job, whether The Cowleys or, say, JFH would sign on unless they had a workable budget must be doubtful.
Well it all depends on whether the owners are serious about it doesn’t it Wight?
We shall see very soon.
