    I'd agree with all of that.
    The only hope I have that we can recruit better is Conor's involvement in the process, I can't see him being hung out to dry by the type of players that we wasted money on in January for our so called promotion push.

    I was thinking more long term. They are way ahead of us in terms of ambition - and have been for several seasons. It's a short career: players want to play for Clubs they can see are trying to progress. We've not even finished our freefall yet.

    If it is a pay increase on a long contract, of course it is a step up.

    Shows how far we've slumped as a club when we've been usurped by Wycombe in the pecking order ffs :D

    Well not only Wycombe, Bradford City offered Humphrys a better deal too.
    From the players perspective you can't blame them from moving sideways for more money.
    Be madness not to.

    It must be about more than money. Leeds and Newcastle struggle to recruit players because they aren't fashionable enough. There's no way Wycombe are more fashionable than Barnsley. If you asked 10 people if they'd rather play for Wycombe or Barnsley. I bet 7/10 would say Barnsley and the other three wouldn't know anything about football.
