Default Re: Don Bircham Statement RE Club Loans

My memory of the Bircham era was the persistent grumbles from players on low wages. Brought to a head by the spat between Bircham and Danny Wright.

Always got the perception he was very frugal, and maybe a bit too much for his own good; hence why he was happy for the bubble to continue if it kept costs down.

He was what we needed to stabilise, but maybe not to take us forward.

But then again, it's not like his replacements managed that either.

Would be good to see him more involved, but not necessarily running the show. If only to bring back those steak and chilli Village Bakery pies he pushed.
