Silly money deals
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2023 3:49 pmThere are a number of EFL deals going through or have been completed which have seen 'silly money' being forked out by some clubs in their bid to gain promotion or to stay clear of the relegation zone.
Burton have signed 7 new players to date which would mean an increase in their wages budget.
Fleetwood have spent a lot of money on a couple of decent strikers whilst Lincoln have forked out £300,000 for a midfielder.
The above are just a few of the deals that for me smell of desperation by the clubs concerned and are yet another example of owners panic buying in some cases.
We'd all like OUR club to be able to pay fees for experience but NOT at the expense of putting our club into financial suicide.
I'm amazed at how clubs appear to exceed their league sanctioned budgets without any redress from the EFL powers.
