    SecretDave got a reaction from Abu Derby in Was it really so bad to spend and try and get to Prem .   
    If we'd have spent on the right sort of players, then it would have been a gamble worth taking. Most of the signings we made though were badly planned, overpriced and really bad value. The likes of Butterfield, Blackman, Camara, Anya, Shackell, Malone and Jozefzoon were all ridiculously overpriced. Even Johnson and Waghorn were way too expensive too. That for me is Mel's biggest mistake of all, having the wrong scouting setup.

    John Eustace for me. I never rated him when he first signed, but did an incredible job for us. If he'd have stayed fit in the 2014/15 season, I think we may well have got promoted.

    It sounds like we won't even get a slap on the wrist if that's the case. Hopefully it's all just a big storm in a teacup.

    Morris and Pearce have to do detention and write 1000 lines each:

    I just hope that whilst we've got this back and forth going on before a final decision is made that we're not under more transfer embargos. We need to act quickly this summer to get some good players in - we can't leave things until the last minute this time.

    I don’t want this idiot anywhere near this football club.
    Pretending a house is yours when it isn’t to counter rumours of not having money is an embarrassment.
    I do not want him associated with this club.

    In the words of Arthur Cox, it's all "pure journalistic speculation".
