I'd be really interested to see what many of you out there think. Personally, the more I think about it the more I'm not entirely convinced. The spending has been extremely modest. Thoughts? |  |

Jury is out I think !
He needs to back MM with real money for a new centre forward!
But I don't think that will be happening!

Well, the short answer is yes.
Have we moved back to the levels of spending we saw with Magic and Keane, no, but that isn't a surprise. But I would certainly suggest that the purse strings have been loosened and to a fair degree as well.
I don't think the transfer business for us is complete yet either. I can see 2 or 3 more new faces before the close of the window.
Personally, I feel that MM has always had the backing of ME - in fact I would go as far as to say that ME appears to be less trigger happy with his management style than many other owners/ chairman - so that backing comes in many forms and guises.
So, in answer to your question, yes - he's being backed this summer and I would offer more than, say, last summer.
The caveat being that we are still where we are - so the question of real progress remains. [Post edited 14 Jul 2017 7:41]

The happy clappers seem to think we now have a squad capable of winnin the league when in fact we have a striker who struggled against Arbroath and a midfielder who failed at scum brum and Cardiff.
Huws we had already just now he won't be playing for a contract .
I fail to see the excitement . |  |

Agree on this. 14 players out and 4 in. We've certainly slimmed down a already very small (for Championship) squad. Plus money for Benyu and Pittman. We've hardly been free spending. |  |

I think this thread is proof positive of what a bunch of entitled, whiny numpties we have as fans these days (not all, but a good proportion thereof). |  |

The point of a forum is putting up threads that encourage discussion Herbivore. This topic has certainly been an issue at the club over the last two seasons, if not longer. It is interesting to see what others think about the subject, that even includes you! | |

He's definitely backed him more than in previous years - the squad was short and h'es gone out and brought in players coming into, or in, their prime who have lots of games at this level.
He could always do more, but the last couple of years under investment have caught up with us so he's just trying to get squad back up to a more competitive level. Still a few bodies short currently |  |

He has certainly backed him up until the point we sell Bart late August & don't replace him. |  |

Another couple of players of the same level this Summer would be excellent, more realistically a versatile, experienced player on a short-term contract and another loanee would be about right. |  |

Experienced Championship players with room for improvement - I like the players who have come in and feel we will be far more competitive this year - at least in battling teams from the front. Whether we have enough to make any real challenge on the top 10 remains to be seen but I've got a feeling we may surprise everyone. Ok maybe wishful thinking but think MM has a point to prove. |  | | |

Well looks like Shaun Cumming is joining so you're half right so far! |  |

We seem to be going for quality over quantity this year. It's a risky strategy as we are really relying on our squad to stay injury free. We have lost a lot of players, but many of them were not anywhere near Championship standard, so some not a great loss. |  |

It'snot only MM with a bit of a point to prove but Garner, after a disappointing season, and Huws, whose career has stalled in recent years, definitely do too. | |
