the_mighty_bosh Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Good read. It's clear that he and Dunn have honest intentions, pity that they don't seem good enough for the task they face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 "we’re a club on our fourth manager inside 12 months and working on a budget which is far smaller that our rivals" Something stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 "were a club on our fourth manager inside 12 months and working on a budget which is far smaller that our rivals" Something stinks. Not really if our top earner (Forte/Kelly) is on 2k a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I know people can get aggravated whenever playing budgets are mentioned and see them as either boring or an irrelevance. Understandably in a way as even considering them seems so far removed from why you actually go to watch games. However, I think it's fairly common knowledge that ours is really at mid table level in League Two. That's not to say that what we have couldn't be used in a more effective way.

He has said in the past that our budget is top half L1 and the new stand would allow us to compete at the top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Not according to SC. He has said in the past that our budget is top half L1 and the new stand would allow us to compete at the top end.

L2 mid-table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshawlatic Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 There's a difference between hoping to get the budget to that level and what it is. L2 mid-table.

Buckshawlatic Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It might have been at one time, no chance it is now. I'm sure Kelly, Wilson, Forte, Wellens and super Dunn are on a league 2 wage - not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 And the SD.c deal which was supposed to put us amongst the big boys. Yes. If we'd had a shop unit for them to occupy it might have helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshawlatic Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Half of League 2 will be spending more than us. After wages and compensation to all these disgruntled party goers for the north stand - I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Budget = only one part of the puzzle. :censored: manager choice in May, :censored: manager choice in September. We played in the top two divisions for 24 years, and we were not exactly amongst the wealthiest of clubs even then. But we had two fantastic managers. Of all the managers in all the world, we had to choose this one. Drab. Very drab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 SC defo said that renaming BP as SDDCP gave us a budget at the top end of the division. SC says many things tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
