we'd be alright if we were Currys or Comet 
difficult to get the balance right sometimes aint it? Would Bishop have gained us any extra points? would he have put an extra 15 bums on seats? would we have sold him by now for £300k?
Whilst I fully agree that we should be prudent (and have been) with our money, sometimes you have to take a punt on the good 'uns and hopefully you can look at a big fat transfer fee a little later on - even though it's never guaranteed. Apparently we fell £200 a week short on Bishop (later valued at £300k, we were close on Aaron McClean but couldn't agree personal terms (since valued at anywhere from £600k to £2m), missed out on McCombe who then went to Hereford, couldn't match Morecambe on personal terms for Carl Baker who later went for over £200k.
Whilst I agree that you have to have limit and stick to it, we have been close to some good 'uns over the last three years. Another 300-400 on our average crowd might see us get even closer to them.
p.s. that's why I am excited at the signing of McConville. He is highly rated and we got him  |
In answer to this Macca, I believe that yes he would have gained us more points, just by the virtue of the fact that he would have stuck it into the net
Would he have put more feet in the stands
I believe that this goes hand in had with goals and points. Would we have sold him on for a good profit, well you would have hoped so but if not :- goals = points and points equal better gates, happier fans and possibly play off places
So that would be as good as a sell on fee in my opinion
