Agreed. Tony Bloom wants us to be smart with recruitment and seek value for money, rather than pay big transfer fees and wages and to be fair that’s his prerogative.
The problem is - the way we are set up we need an 'Ashworth' - otherwise we're run by Barber and the fact we have an Ashworth tells me that Barber doesn't want to / can't effectively run the footballing side too. Similar to Ed Woodward at Man Utd and look at how well that is working.
Personally...
