Johnny needs to pull rank here I think if it’s a case of Clough/sharpe not wanting to go over budget… it’ll cost a lot more to do a full rebuild again next summer when we finish mid-table
Do you really think it would be Sharpe and Clough saying no to extra budget and JR needs to push them to ask for more cash?
Not wanting to be controversial here Broomo but just seeking clarity. Are you saying that Nigel has spent all of his available budget?
I know he said none in until someone goes out but he also said they were pursuing a target and there have been some mixed messages. I am also aware that JR has, in the past, been less than truthful with fans when it comes to budget levels and has overstated the amount of funds available to a manager.
I would be very surprised if Nigel has spent up at this point but if true could explain a lot.
