Budget Next Year (2 Viewers)

I have put this in a separate thread as I see it as sepetate to the the main stuff CA made reference to.

However he stated if we stay in Division one the budget would be the same next year.

If we are breaking even this year. The sale of Maddison is rumoured to be 2.5 million. I appreciate that will need to be stretched over different ways but I think 60p in the £1 was going to the the player budget. Which I make to be 1.5 million.
Correct me if I am wrong but shouldnt we be increasing the player budget next season by 50%

Anderson said on CWR pre Barnsley that the budget will be 'around the same next year' if we're still in League 1 and 'significantly higher' if we're in the Championship.

 

[dongonzalos]

Yes that's what I thought, but unless I am missing something should it not be significantly higher in division one with the JM sale?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

You would think the budget would increase maybe they are keeping it a secret or maybe are not expecting to sell as many season tickets as this year or have bumper crowds

You are presuming that the current budget is sustainable on current revenues. It might be that player sales are necessary even to sustain that

After the sale of Maddison I am sure he said it gave us security and revenue for several years.

I don't disagree, but I think the overall club budget, as distinct from the manager's playing budget, requires income from player sales.

Yes I am basing that on us getting told if we average 11k the budget is covered this season.

I wouldn't bother, despite the fact that accounts are published showing continual losses, there is a still a belief that any player sales are going into SISU's back pocket.

If you get a windfall do you spend it all immediately? Or do you save some for a rainy day? Only my opinion but I think it would be dumb to splash out everything next year only to possibly be broke the following year.

 

[dongonzalos]

I am not sure to be honest. Also I am not trying to pick holes. I have liked Mr Andersons approach so far.
But even if you hold some of the remaining 1.5 million back (if that is the figure) would you not put a third of that on next years budget that is still nearly a 20% increase in budget. Which is worth mentioning

The question that needs to be answered is when they say we are self sustaining are they talking about on a day to day basis or if we sell someone every year. There's a big difference.

I am believe they got us self sufficient whether we sell someone or not.
Joy Seppala said you can't run a business dependant on a factor of well if we can sell this player we will be ok. That was before the self sufficient statements were made. You are not self sufficient if that relies on selling a player for over 2 million as you can never guarantee that.

He said on the radio all clubs are selling clubs. But we need to sell when it is right for us not because we have to. He said we have a good academy and good players coming through. But you cannot rely on selling players so that cannot be part of your basic budget. He seems to talk a lot of sense, but it is hard to trust anyone from SISU. As Chiefdave says there has been too many false dawns. I do feel there has been progress since returning to the Ricoh and we are were we are. We have to work within our budget and its constraints. We need a working relationship with Wasps because that is were we are at. We need a bit of smart recruitment and start to see the spine of the team develop. I think the team's above us have two or three players better than ours, it is that simple. Too much rotation in midfield although injuries in the back four has also disrupted things. We desperately need a couple of wins and some confidence back.
