You've missed a couple of vital words at the start of his sentence and completely changed the meaning. He says:

"Could we stockpile and have 30 players, which a few clubs in the division have, of course we could. That’s not how I want to work."

So he's actually pointing out that some teams have very big squads with around 30 players. He doesn't want that. And in this economic climate the Club couldn't stretch to that financially.

I too was confused at the heading,because you are correct, the sentence you have quoted was exactly what he did say,we have a squad of 24 I believe? No good in this climate to have 30 players, and their wages to boot,it's not viable for the club,so they have trimmed the squad down,and in doing so,are saving on a chunk of money paid to either bench warmers,or just squad players. :old: :bluebird:
