Tranmere's transfer ability remains limited, according to manager Micky Mellon, who admits the club cannot compete with big-spenders in the EFL. Despite signing Peter Clarke and Alex Woodyard, Mellon insists fans should not expect marquee signings. The club's financial constraints mean they have to find talent in areas they can afford, and polish players to make them better. Mellon cited the example of Corey Blackett-Taylor, who has raw potential, and Norwood, who was signed and later sold. The manager believes a shift in transfer policy will not happen unless there is a significant change in the club's finances. Tranmere's current state in the transfer market is a result of being a well-run club, but not having the budget to compete with bigger teams. Mellon has to make way in the budget to bring players in, and the club has to cut its cloth accordingly. The manager wants to have a brilliant team, but it's hard to keep good players when they become attractive to other teams. Tranmere will continue to try and make a group better, and Mellon will have to find new players to replace those who leave. The club's transfer policy is not likely to change, unless something unexpected happens, like discovering oil behind one of the goals at Prenton Park. Mellon's comments reflect the reality of being a manager of a smaller club in League Two, where financial constraints are a constant challenge. The club's fans will have to be patient and understand the limitations of the team's transfer policy. Tranmere will have to rely on finding hidden gems and developing players to compete with other teams in the league.
