We all need to reassess football and the finances. I know the world has changed massively, but it's only a few months since half of this board were demanding that we got Chris Cadden for £500k+, or paid Baptiste what he wanted etc. The demand for better players on longer contracts put clubs under pressure to spend more. Yet at the same time, many of the same fans despise the PL, the TV deals and any chairman who hasn't been a lifelong fan.
The recent investment in the training ground, the academy and the community development work will put us in a much stronger position than many clubs at our level once this all settles down. But let's be realistic, the idea that we will get £7m for Dickie or pay £1m for a rightback are things of the past.
Football needs to be reset, but so do expectations and demands from the fans.
