Indeed; although I think the board are more ambitious than

sometimes given credit for. They spent relatively big last summer and turned down offers for Grabban for example, when they didn't have to.

But I can see Neil getting impatient if we continue to struggle to attract the kind of players we need to become established in the Prem. Given our location, relative lack of history and newly promoted status, pretty much the only thing we can offer to attract established international players is lots of money - and the board seem reluctant to go down that route.
