We did have concerns and we now have in place the business plan which was in place when they took over.
We hope to make one or two very big signings this summer - and we are already committed to that.
Kieran Richardson played for England last summer in Chicago and did very well but views himself as an England player and comes in and wants more money. I don't buy the argument that international appearances add value to a player - they come in and ask for more money. We are not a selling club and we seldom sell international players.
This is actually a very healthy situation. Some counties operate with just a one percent contingency.
As a result we have now spent next summer's transfer budget unless players are disposed of to realise cash for re-investment.
I would think if he gets convicted of something there may be some changes. We still go by innocent until proven guilty.
The rolling contract was designed to specifically take away some of that retirement talk and retirement issue.
