It will take some time for the truth to come out of the circumstances behind this, but one has to jump to some obvious conclusions. Dicky Dosh had said that he wanted to have talks with the club about whether their ambitions met his and it appears that they don’t.

We all know that Jeff Bonser will always take the prudent approach with the finances of the club and I, for one, can see the logic of that. However, to not spend some of the £1.25 million received for Fox and Dann in January in strengthening for a play off push is little short of criminal.

At the last Fans Focus Meeting, Roy Whalley said that the ambition of this club was to be in the Championship by the season after next, when the new TV deal kicks in. Today’s news puts that statement in question, as it appears that the club has very little ambition at all.

The situation will be discussed on WM tonight, on the Daz Hale show, when the site editor will be giving his point of view, along with several others, including Darren Wrack.
