The problem is we can't just splurge on one or two quality players, because we'd left with an even thinner squad that wouldn't make it through the first two weeks in December.
Let's not forget the big spenders like Dundee Utd - a club whose financial model people on here used to say we should follow - ran up millions in unsustainable debt and then got themselves relegated to the Championship and stayed there for a few years. If we did that, we'd probably die.
The reason we are a fan owned club is because Boyle, however well-intentioned, thought all you needed to do was splash out on those quality players and you'd have a better team. Adminsitration followed pretty quickly after that.
So any time a club our size decides to start splashing the cash around, that's the risk they are taking.
