Alright, they could have afforded the money more than us but it would still be a big gamble for a bigger club.
Remember when we signed Shaun Whalley? he was the next big thing and he came from a similar level club (Witton Albion). Shaun showed glimpses of promise but when the performances didn't come and the crowd got at him a bit he went hiding. That would have been ten times worse at most clubs in our league - let alone higher.

agree there its a big step up, one a club in stanleys position must take a chance on though. daft as it sounds i reckon its n easier to jump up a couple of lower divisions if yer a goalscorer, than other positions. a striker can always find the "Onion Bag" its just at what level? i'm reasonably optimistic with this signing.
