Earlier on Southampton mentioned that maybe Gary Johnson wasn't being backed with as much money as some seem to think. I think this is likely to be the case as evidenced by the fact we have a very young inexperienced team; experienced tried and tested pros cost money and I don't think Johnson has access to it. Last season when we did well there was an assumption among some supporters that it must have been because Uncle Clarke pumped money in (another example of Sky's brainwashing that only money brings success). If that was the case why didn't he give adequate funding to Nicholson and Owers?
As for the loanees; players available for loan are only available because their parent clubs do not have any current use for them, therefore they are not exactly going to set the world on fire. Obviously there are some exceptions to that such as Jermaine DeFoe when he was at Bournemouth, but that is an exception to the rule.
