Quote: Irregular Hoops "If there was no investment lined up, Tony Smith would still be here, Myler wouldn't, we wouldn't have three marquee players and players wouldn't be getting paid off.'"
Despise obvious cost cutting in recent years we’ve still had marquee players and still would have regardless of investment. We already had Trueman here, I’m also pretty sure Reynolds was on a marquee contract back in 21/22 and Clifford was offered marquee money to stay all way before the investment was rumoured. For the 2025 signings we must have as close to blank canvas as any club has ever had with players off contract, we were always going to bring in 10 plus players. Reynolds and Evans are big recent pay offs for the club and as for Smith, results and performances made it inevitable it was almost a farce.
FWIW I’m sure AP is confident of some investment coming in soon, and hopefully it steadies the ship financially but I think it will be relatively minor, especially against the expectations people have dreamed up in their minds about someone pumping in millions with little chance of a return.
