Sure this year costs are being cut but for the last 3-4 years we have had the opportunity to make every post a winner and sign whoever we liked

We have not got anywhere

All the money and opportunity Tinkler provided to us has been frittered away by the incompetence of those in charge of making the decisions.

As we have the lacking components of good admin> well organised >well coached> good culture > never say die attitude etc missing we have achieved what we have.
Mate if you think Tinkler put in bucket fulls you are kidding yourself....nearly as much as you do about Middleby having any real say in how said cash is spent.

The fact that heskey came here was good though if we could afford better scouting we could get a better marquee, if we could afford more wages we could have a better international marquee and a better Australian marquee thus improving the squad and hopefully the results leading to an improved reputation and better possibilities to sign better quality players....it all flows from money.
