Gordons Cumming Yes, we are punching above our weight, and doing a pretty good job too.
Once we are established you will notice the difference in the transfer market.
All we need is a little patience, which nobbers on here don't seem to have.
We may have done a good job in the early rounds punching above our weight but we are now slumped against the ropes taking a pounding, at least in every other round.
Once we are established? Established where? We will not have the chance to become established unless we pull our fingers out and take some pretty prompt and effective action. I really am fed up with people who keep on about boom and bust. It's nonsense. Not every club has gone that way who have splashed a bit of cash to survive at this level. What's more we can learn from those clubs that did make the mistake and make sure any contracts are better worded to cover what happens if the gamble fails and the club goes down. There is a middle way and we should be looking to take it.
I believe it is nonsense to suggest that the fact we are not 'established' is the reason we can't attract players. How many actually look that far out? And those that do will know they will get the chance to jump ship or be sold if we do go down (if they wanted, they could ask for that to be in their contract). Players don't seem to be worried about joining Derby and they were happy to join Watford last season.
Money and ambition is what most people look for in most walks of life and that is particularly the case in the mercenary world of football.
Money talks but RFC are reluctant to talk and their silence looks increasingly likely to cost them dearer than the talking would.
