Previously there has ben 4/5/6 clubs ahead of us in the pecking order, there is probably more than 10 clubs players would go to before us.
And the fact we cant actually spend any proper money...
I am not sure that is correct.
Certainly when a player is considering joining a club one of the considerations is where the club finished last season but there are multiple other factors as well.
Size of the club, fanbase, history, never out of the Premiership , size of salary the club can afford to pay.
The quality of players already at the club, is a transfer to this club likely to further my career?
A number of considerations and each player will have the confidence in their own ability to believe if they go to a club they will make the team better.
I think we are more attractive than many here think and one bad season won't wipe that away.
