The Board probably do realise Redstar. Trouble is - there's no spare cash down at t'Well, so presumably they've got to get rid first - and raise some spondulix in the process!! (Sorry about the previous posts - don't know what happened there!).
no no no - Shepherd says the money is there and has been offered to rich tea but he doesnt want it because he is happy with his defence work that one out :S
a quote from the programme "the board will support andy ritchie if and when he wishes to sign other players"
In which case, I suspect it isn't much money that is available. The club is currently running at a loss remember (and not a small one at that!) - and they can't keep on spending dosh they haven't got, as much as we may need another defender. Actually, I think the problem could be partially relieved if we could find a midfielder in our present squad who could score goals fairly consistently. We're not exactly leaking goals are we - just not scoring enough at the other end.
Defending is not rocket science. The players we have had in the past and the ones we have got now SHOULD be good enough.
