from the OS:
Nothing new in the sense that we already know there's little cash - is he just being the canny buyer or preparing the ground for no more deals?
"I think there has been some irresponsible buying and spending by some (premiership) clubs and it makes it a bit more difficult if you've got less money to spend than that."
He added: "We'd like to add to the squad and I know the supporters are desperate to see new faces coming in, no more so than me, but things out there in the market are tight.
"But we are certainly doing everything we can to strengthen the squad and give ourselves a chance. We've done it that way for the past few years and we'll continue to do so.
"I've been a supporter, in fact I still am a supporter, but we're always quite cagey here and we don't give too much away partly because people know that we don't have the funds to compete at the top end."
