It's missing Matty Dawson-Jones which would bring it up to 20. But even a couple of those first team players are highly inexperienced.

To be honest, I guess this is the bed you lay in when you've had years of not paying people on time and swindling them out of their pension payments (erm... allegedly). You can have as many "new" owners as you like, but when the previous 3 or 4 have been dodgier than Del Boy, I'm not sure I'd gamble my family's future if I had other options. Add in that they're recruiting late because they had to have a fire sale to pay the debts and you're pretty stuffed on every side.

Well, again, it's one of those occasions where the supporters haven't been told the truth All the news outlets were reporting that Evans had gone on loan to Leeds. For example https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... elp-bulls/ Now we are told that it was a permanent deal, and therefore he can be loaned back to us. Obviously if it wasn't a permanent deal there would be no need for a loan from Leeds - he would just be sent back here to see out his contract. I'm not saying it is on a Marc Green-level so far as untruths, but once again we aren't being told the full story.

Spot on mate. I thought it was pretty clear as well.

Maybe our use of his services this season was the transfer fee?

He was out of contract at the end of the season, and his contract had the usual 'if an SL club comes in etc' so, on that basis, it was probably the best outcome for us? I know we had to allow him to leave but no-one said we had to allow him to go for nothing.
