birchfest 397 Posted January 29, 2021 Shame, but there is no way we were ever going to drop that sort of money post relegation and with Covid eating into the finances too. If we do manage to go up I am curious to see if we will be able to shop at that next tier up in quality (if Emi goes for 35-40 million then surely we will) would be exciting to see what this recruitment team could do if they can sign players in the 10-20 million range... ah maybe im dreaming, but that would truly be a sign of the progress this club has made in the last 20 years.

Normally I would agree but he's gone to some tinpot Italian club I for one have never heard of. I don't see how a semi-pro outfit or whatever it is based in a rundown Calabrian village could possibly be a bigger draw than the best team in East Anglia. 1 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
