It seems like Sheffied were banking on finishing in the top 4 again this season and the relevant prize money which would go a long way to paying the wages for next season. I think the main problem though is the investor pulling out, you obviously can't bank on the team doing well and planning so far in advance, as I'm sure Marc Green is finding out now

The problem with that us, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you only spend on the assumption you might not make the playoffs, you're likely to be ensuring exactly that. You have to set your stall out, and go for it. IMHO.

I overheard him speaking to a mate of mine on Saturday and he was saying that he's at the Bulls next year. I don't know the first thing about him.

We're not Steve Ferres you know. Some people might need a bit more information before they sign a player.

Well, "he's a centre" is straight fact - the rest is just opinion...
