There are some very worrying quotes there:

Namely:

?There won't be many new faces. We're not on for wholesale change, we're on for this targeted approach. But don't worry, be assured that from well before the end of last season we were looking hard at our options so that plans were laid before people went on holiday."

FINE ROGER THAT IS WHAT THE FANS ARE LOOKING FOR

?Now people are back from holiday we can set about attempting to implement the targets that we've set.?

IS IT ME OR IS HE ADMITTING HERE THEY HAVE ALL BEEN ON A MONTHS/SIX WEEK HOLIDAY AND DONE SOD ALL ABOUT LANDING THEIR TARGETS UNTIL NOW?

?But the money is very tight. We haven't got what we had to spend last year, but then again there aren't the departures that there were last year."

LAST YEAR WE SPENT 800K!!!!

?We believe that for the most part we have a pretty damn good squad which requires highly selective, highly targeted improvements - or would certainly benefit from them if we could achieve them.?

DON'T NECESSARILY DISAGREE BUT WAS THE SAME LAST SUMMER - RIGHT WINGER!!!!!!

He said: ?Nobody believed we could sign Darren Huckerby, and we did. Nor I think was there a belief we could afford Dean Ashton, but we did with the immense help of the shareholders.

RUBBISH - HUCKS MAYBE BUT WE COULD HAVE AFFORDED ASHTON WHEN WE WENT UP.

He added: ?In a sense we don't have a budget. What we have is a proposition from the manager, which we will be getting when the time's right, to see if we can afford a certain player.

?What we are saying is, Nigel, knowing the background and knowing that money is tight, make us a proposal - you give us the problem and we'll tell you if we can sort it.?

NOT SURE WHAT THE HELL THIS MEANS BUT SUGGESTS WOTHY HAS NOT YET PUT HIS PROPOSITIONS TO THEM. PROBABLY AS HE HAS BEEN ON HOLIDAY!
