Slater’s response

Michael Slater: “I’ve heard about some gossip about the club, but for the last year and a half we have consistently said that we will operate the club on sound commercial principles, and I believe last season’s success vindicates our approach. Last summer Chris signed players to create a team that we believed would be able to compete in the Championship, so although he is looking to bring in a few new players, there is nothing like the urgency of last summer and we will not be rushed into decisions. We are not inactive in the transfer market, but the fact is that in League One we were a big fish in a small pond whereas in the Championship there are plenty of other big clubs vying for the players we are trying to sign”
Hmm, kinda how you’d figure generic PR should be done…. Having said that, many bloggers/posters talked (last season) about how we had a team capable of competing at a higher level…. My own thought was our keeper could do better and he settled well in the latter stages of the season. My belief is two or three decent signings and we can be playoff material, and we have time to make them…. Then again, my glass is always half full.
