He has said that at a couple of the Fans Forums he has made mistakes, the Club had made mistakes but the impression was more policy mistakes than financial ones.
If youve not fat on your back then any policy mistake will also have financial implications, and external events that are outside your control will have greater impact as theres no reserves with which to absorb the impact of those events. And that is where the club has been for many years. if Hood is referring to a mistake then imo it was a mistake to spend large amounts of cap on one player. I can see why, as a big name should attract big crowds. But as we then and now Leeds are showing, if you depend upon one player you are a hostage to injury fortune (or the players agent...). And if that is seen as a mistake, Hood has the satisfaction of being able to say that the board learnt from their mistake, and now have a squad that can absorb adversity and still win, which in turn should lead to improvement in the finances. its a shame it didnt happen a season earlier. And I am just as cynical as a number of posters about the timing of Caisleys rescue plan, Hood has constantly said that the board would look at any genuine offer with the implication that they would clear out if it went through, and I suspect would be glad to do so.
