I know it did, but we have to have a limit. It would have been a huge benefit to have extra players, but we don't know how the season would have finished if we did get them, and without a limit to wages or playing hardball, we'd end up playing all of our players more.
Grabban was the one...
But we don't actually know what we offered etc. If we offered the max our structure allows (as much as we pay anyone else) then I don't think we should have offered more.
I'm not sure hindsight was needed for Grabban - he was already doing very well in the Championship.
I don't know what we offered him, and I don't know if he asked for more or just went home and asked for a pay rise. I was disappointed we didn't get him though, I thought he was worth us offering the max we could.
