I see your point, but was signing Vicente / CMS / Bridge / Upson / Ulloa planning for the future too? Clearly, the chairman was rolling the dice pre-FFP and either gambling to get us in the top flight or establishing us as a top half Championship contender. Judging by the signings we've missed...
At what point does our historic position in the league table become an irrelevance when judging what is right and wrong with the club?
Does being in the lower leagues give Sheffield Utd, Portsmouth, Coventry and Wolves fans the right to rant that they're in a false position? Not in my book it...
