The net spend on transfers is 7 million in profit so I don't see additional investment

Sure maybe a higher proportion of transfer fees have been given back to Knapper but when you compare the wealth of the new owners I expected more ambition.

And the penny pinching over Gunns new contract summed up the lack of real investment from the ownership and a focus on getting the wage bill down. So again similar to what would've happened under Delia's stewardship.
