"We have made a profit in the last couple of years.[LNB]"We have finished fifth two years in a row. I might be at a different level to other clubs, but we have to be able to reinvest and go back into the market.[LNB]"We want a club which keeps aiming to progress, so I'm going to push the board really hard not just to spend the Joleon money but to spend more.[LNB]"You can't be at the top of the league and want to be at the top of the league and not invest in the team. The team needs investment.[LNB]"Bill is doing everything he can to get me the money because we don't have a big financial backer."[LNB]
