Ken davy says we are punching above our weight because the salary cap rules mean the likes of wigan and leeds have more money at their disposal..
but i thought it was a level playing field with us spending upto the cap just like leeds and wigan do...
or does he mean off the field they can spend more money for marketing etc

More like the latter although marketing is the least of it. We can spend the same on players- but they have do much more to spend in terms of support- staff, training facilities, equipment etc etc

Maybe we are - maybe last year showed that we haven't got the quality as a whole club to be up there challenging yet, saying that we're there again so who knows.

Yet their brave bid came to a stunning end when Cudjoe stepped out of the defensive line to intercept a pass and then run away for a 90-metre effort. (Times 2)
Roses are red Violets are purple The Giants are sweeter than Maple Surple.: |

You're not suggesting that some clubs employ wives with inflated salaries?
Surely not.
Especially not Wigan.
Tut tut.

not this season no because odonnell has left and we had some spare but couldnt get a half back pre season.
but the intention was to spend upto the cap like all the other previous seasons recently |

No money to spare as i said before what we havent used in wages will have gone to pay for other costs to take the pressure off Ken.

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war": |
|
|
And we will get dispensations on the cap for players like Crabtree, Cudjoe, etc.
However what some people can't seem to grasp is that this doesn't mean we have "money spare". It just means we aren't spending money we don't have. I didn't buy a Bugatti Veyron yesterday. It doesn't mean I have a million quid spare.
