Money

I am wondering whether we have limited money this summer due to a 'deposit' for Kirby or whether it is due to us having spent this years funds (from the new TV money) last year ? not as a gamble to consistently spend future income (a la Leeds), but instead with some foresight (from Moyes or Kenwright) in the knowledge that the influx of money would lead to inflated prices (directly or because of the extra money encouraging investment and 'sugar daddies') and that by spending in advance we would get more for our money.
This would explain the limited funds (although I may be premature in this assumption) and would mean that our 6th place finish would be slightly flattering as we are temporarily a year ahead in terms of squad improvements and that we should aim for maintenance rather than improvement.
Overall I think that this would represent good management but could lead to a frustrating summer and backward movement in the league (still not as far back as we would have been had we not spent big last year though!!!). So maybe we should get off Kenwright's back and accept that he is making the most of the limited money that the club (and him/due to him) has. Still we can dream of investment, beautiful football, one big name signing...
