Taggy is no longer a Director of the Club, though he attends the Board. The four Trust directors and four others including the FD Keith Mason are chaired by the experienced Richard Pym. They have to look in the round at at turnover, phasing of transfer income, operating expenses, what the Club are allowed to spend on the P1 (players) budget under the SMCP (Salary Cost Management Protocol), Covid issues, the manager's advice on wage demands of possible signings, etc etc.I just dont think Tagg, or whoever is in control of the finances at the club, can place their faith and trust in Taylor to sanction transfers when he keeps signing players that are sat at home earning a fortune... From my business background, which is what a football club ultimately is, I just cant see how the team can improve without the money men at the club trusting taylor. And I know I wouldnt.
So i'm not surprised it was not possible to do much transfer business in January.
