They've spent what the club brought in player sales

Which is similar to how we operated under Delia. I don't see any major new contracts being handed out to keep our best players eg Gunn. So it's broadly a continuation of the approach we had with the previous owners.

Real ambitious owners don't allow our best midfielder to be sold to our nearest rival. The money for the Americans was too good to turn down. And that's worrying to me. 6-7 million which we didn't even reinvest as Mattson only 2-3 million. It's still Balance Sheet FC.
