Petulance ??
We’ve gone through numerous transfer cycles paying over the odds for players that haven’t brought any benefit to the club, moreover have proved to be a milestone around our neck.
We now seem to be buying players that look to improve us in the short term and potentially have some resale value when the time is right.
It WILL take time before we start to see the benefits of this, only when players attract interest from other clubs will we see any return on investment.
Very few players we have had over the last 7 years have turned us a profit when they’ve moved on, most have sat out over inflated contracts and left for nothing or next to nothing.
It’s pleasing that we are now taking a different approach and I’m sure in the mid to long term we will see the benifits.
I’m not sure petulance was the term you were looking for here ?
