I wonder if we've bit off more than we can chew in that regard, with the background staff. Are we moving too fast for the size of the club with hiring all these folk, and are they all contributing to a meaningful level. I think there's a good middle ground we should be aiming for between Mathie's modern approach and McCall's keep it simple one.
As for the all the money we had come in in the summer, we wouldn't be the first frugal club to get an injection of cash and end up spunking it up the wall. Just a lack of experience in handling that kind of thing.
