Quote: Sir Gregory ParsloeP "I get that Blease is good as a wheeler dealer and am
Pleased we have him.
From last year we have exited Fusitua, Roberts, Donaldson, Olpherts, Johnson, Hudson and Martin and signed Hall. We have also now exited Goudemand
I find it hard to believe we could not pay Martin a few more quid to keep him. I can also believe that Martin has not gone for the money but has gone for a better chance of winning stuff.
Overall though I looked at our squad and Wigan’s and find it hard to believe that we are spending the same money on the cap. IF we are it’s shambolic.
Forgive me
For my cynicism but after 8 years of mainly dross , the prospect of watching Connor whining away next season is not filling me with joy'"
I'm pretty sure there were push/pull factors with Martin other than just money. There's also no doubt that there are a bunch of signings still to come to replace those who have left/will leave. But we'll always be tight against the cap and finding bargains is a big part of Blease's job.
And yes we'll have to accept that things are shambolic on the cap front. Leeds spend the cap and with the board obsessed with winning trophies will continue to do so.
