wilders wanted list

Totally agree with Bassett, however it's hardly his fault. He did the best he could for as long as possible with no money.

The point about Basham is a good one, however Norwich have shit loads of money through parachutes and regular flirts in the Prem and Wolves have a billionaire as Chairman. These guys can throw 25k a week at Basham no problem - can we? Even if we could, would you justify it?

Hell the pigs haven't been in the Prem this millennium and they're throwing 50k a week on players. We are nowhere near that level, no matter how big a club you think we are.

I don't think Bassett should be taking any blame, whether you like him or not.

He never had any cash.

The only time he did, even in the top flight, was self generated and only a small portion of what he created was he allowed to reinvest.

He spent around 500k on Flo but only after having sold Deane for 2.7m. Or as Bassett said to the Board "congratulations Gentlemen, you've just relegated us"

Only other reasonable fee I recall was 750k for Brian Gayle and that was dependent on Warnock giving us the same fee for an injury prone Agana.

We were plucky because the Board showed no intent to allow a move away from this.
