The other two are, I think, too risky for others at the moment. Joe Pritchard has hardly played this season so I think clubs would want him to prove his fitness first and Tommy has only had most of a season at this level so again may need to prove himself more yet.
Regarding the investment. I'm afraid I'm part of the old brigade who has spent much iof my life travelling the country and being asked "Accrington, didn't they used to have a football team?" At whatever level we were playing I was proud to reply that they still do. I love being in League 1 and testing ourselves against some of the bigger names of football but I'd rather have a club to support than end up the way some of our recent rivals have gone, notably Bury.

Some "big" clubs at this level now and we can't compete budget wise, Sheffield Wednesday in again next season and suspect has Sunderland before them did significantly reduce their budget, looking at some early retained lists lots of free agents that in current financial times especially in the EFL may have to bite the bullet and take less money to continue playing.
