Have we under estimated LJ ?

Others have said in other threads that we shouldn't get too blinded by our transfer spending. It is the way of the transfer market now. In addition we are not approaching the top spenders in the division and we are taking calculated gambles with our signing of young or foreign players (or both). We are not spending £15m on single players as others in our division are doing. So I see no reason why we should 'expect' promotion this season. I'll be happy with improvement, which is solid mid table. Being patient with our manager and our young players seems to be paying off and long may it continue (both the patience and the form!)

The other thing is that many posters are fixated with how much LJ has spent.

We can compete to a degree when it comes to transfer fees. Where we are stuffed is players wages, as clubs with parachute payments and other, much bigger clubs than us in the championship, can afford wages beyond our budget.

Hopefully with off field income improving and better attendances, our financial position will improve over time, but at the moment we are probably having to pay decent transfer fees to get players whose wages we can afford.
