Another argument could be that if the board and manager had supported the existing players instead of putting all their eggs in one basket to put one over on GH we'd be in a stronger position.

I don't think you'll get much argument there. That said, the story is that Nobby wanted Iestyn for rugby reasons, rather than Caisley pursuing a vendetta.

As for the money issue... well, we all know the club needs more of it. And it's easier and cheaper to keep a team together, especially with a steady flow of youth players than it is to effectively have to start from scratch.

Why. Surely the only way the number of supporters would effect things is if we weren't spending our salary cap.

Eh?????

You all want to spend a shedload more on coaching staff, right?

Can you not see where the money comes from to help pay these - and everyone else not on the playing staff? The scouts, the people who go round the schools, the people who work on potential sponsors, the people who review legal contracts so we don't end up with another fiasco, the people who write the media releases that folk are complaining about, the pre-match entertainment that some folk have complained about...and so on.

You can't have full salary cap spend AND all the above if income is insufficient.

Unless I'm missing something significant here,
