    If it is the choice between a better pitch or a pre season tour, then in my view, quality pitch work must be the priority.

    After 2 years of the German regime you're still wondering if we are cost cutting?

    Maybe take your head out of the sand once in a while Park.

    Shame, so there won't be an opportunity to lambast the club, team, manager, owners about having a drink at the end of it

    Which to be fair is the correct decision, its all about fitness so the calibre of opposition is not paramount.

    @banbrotam@banbrotam its not all about how much is spent on transfers, as you say Julian & Mark spent very little on fees but paid good salaries to the payers we wanted, how you can use them as a comparision is beyond belief, lets discuss the merits of both sets of owners when Edin & Stafan have done half of what the previous owners did.

    it is cost cutting, they planned a tour before they decided to/were forced to do the pitch work - they cancelled the tour to help fund the pitch.

    As as long as it is done at the end of their time here. I think Lawn and Rhodes did a fine job under the circumstances. But they took a lot of stick on the way. However I think at the end there was in the main a grudging approval of their reign. Let’s see what develops under the new owners then judge

    But its not about judging they did it the way they thought along with Phil Parkinson would work, free transfers but desent wages, what a scoop at the time getting Andrew Davies on loan then many were saying on the old board wouldn't it be great to sign him (most though it was beyond our wildest dreams) yet they made it happend.
    These guys have a marker in the sand they will do it their way if they come anywhere near our last regime I'll be happy, I dont think it requires a time limit we will see it season on season as we did in the past, hoping the past season was the start of the learning curve.

    I agree with most of that but it wasn’t all plain sailing remember lawns car being attacked and all the fuss about threatening to leave VP. So I think a better judgment will be be long term. The last boards master move was appointing Parky. Let’s hope the new head coach has the same affect

    Are we just ignoring the wage bill? Or the fact we've been bringing in extra significant money from sell on clauses?

    If you're going to seriously debate this don't just offer the half truths that back up your particular "sunshine and light" viewpoint.

    Doesn't bother ME.
    And IF it IS cost cutting, then good. WE need as much in the playing budget, as we can get. Hell, expect another pass the bucket, in our first Home friendly ! ;)

    In two years the German regime have a net spend on transfers that is around £0.5m higher than the previous one. Fact

    The previous regime, even with the benefit of two fantastic cup run's the previous season, meaning that they had greater 'spend' for two out of their last three seasons - still struggled to finance us. Fact.

    Who's head is in the sand?
