    Did they ever really spend the Jordan Rhodes cash last season? Think they banked it, which explains their spending so far, although not big transfer fees

    All these signings and not one of them a defender to strengthen what was one of the worse defences in the league last season.

    I've said for weeks............Hudders will be top 6............money + Robins = success

    ..............and we wont be far behind them

    You only have to look at Coventry before he took over...........bottom of the league and doomed..........but inside a few weeks they were knocking on the door of promotion and probably will have got there if he hadn't have gone to Hudders.....where there is much much more money to spend

    If we had bought all of our cards from Clintons instead of Card Factory, then this wouldn't have happened.

    I hope they really go for it, make a huge loss, and finish 15th.

    Then the following season, really go for it some more, make a further loss, and finish 10th. The season after that, really go for it again, make a loss, and finish 12th.

    Where exactly has he had this success by spending big? We'll see how things end up but I think we have a better manager, a better team and we will finish above them.

    Re: money + Robins = success

    All it means is they shoot into the lead in a lot of their games and then chuck it away by dropping deep and trying to defend said lead when there's too much of the game left, same old!

    Bargain though is Card Factory with decent cards for like 89 pence. Clintons for similar you can pay 3.50 easy.

    What do you base that on? He didn't moan publically about money at all.

    Keith on the other hand...
