Well that's our first signing sorted. Hopefully that will calm some collective tits. Sounds like a lot of work went into this one despite the fact Stockley had spent half the season with us, so it's unsurprising other signings are going to take a while, especially if we're competing with other teams for individuals in a weird market
Expecting no big fees from Cawley's message, that doesn't mean no fees.
Expecting sensible fees and wages. If one or two need a little extra to push it over the line so be it, if a non "key" play tries to take the piss he can jog on. Thats what I expect.
I’m not reading too much into it. Hardly going to say we’ve got loads of money to spend! I think we will be clever with our spending and target some good free agents, pay a fee here and there and get in some quality loans. Save the spending for when we are in the champ 😉
"We’re trying to get the right players, of course at the right pricebecause there’s a strict budget that we’re following, and I do believe it will start falling into place now in the next week or two leading into the start of pre-season here at the training ground."
Makes sense to view the "strict budget" bit in context. The bold bit of Gallen's interview is directed towards the fans. The clause he added (in italics) is most definitely directed towards clubs and agents.
Who cares about paying fees. I'd like to think we'll buy a player if Gallen & Co identify a quality prospect, someone like Mendes Gomes at Morecambe. In fact, Sandgaard put his hand in his pocket and paid a fee for two in January. The quality of free agents or players available very cheap are more than sufficient to get us promoted, we undoubtedly have to offer decent wages on top of convincing them this the place to advance their career.

In any case why tell the world you're loaded?
Yesterday some people were moaning we'd missed out on Stockley, now some people are moaning we're broke, some people just like to moan.
