That’s the challenge isn’t it? Hypothecated giving is an interesting challenge. So if people knew all the money they gave went on something they agreed with people may pay or give more. Taxation.l for instance everyone says they’ll give more to pay for the nhs some for welfare, very few are happy to pay for prison reform etc. The job for the club and I’ll say this tonight is to encourage people to invest in their club as they see a correlation between success and their input or money. I find it really interesting
Great question might ask that one this afternoon on the call. Won’t get an answer but it’s a legitimate one to ask. Last year I’d say not at all but it will be budgeted. And if it’s £500k out of say £10m it’s not a lot but it is probably an free transfer Ohare for the season isn’t it?
I am thrilled that we stayed up and it looks like come the end of the season we will have stayed up comfortably - However my own expectations and the fact that we are moving back to the Ricoh and will I expect have crowds 18000-20000 then the budget should be at least middle of the table - Sounds to me like we are a big city club with a village spending mentality - Comments from Boddy 4th from bottom budget are not what the fans expect - Robins has worked miracles but no doubt will get frustrated
What is hard to understand. The owner will cover losses but not increase funding over whats agreed based on a balanced ish budget. Spending what we don’t have is not possible unless we change ownership
I read Boddy’s comments, how does he know we are fourth lowest ? So who is third lowest or fifth lowest, there are plenty of clubs in the championship spending well over a 100% of their income on wages alone, I did reag a while back there will be EFL clubs with no budget for signings and will only get what they can sell players for which will be very difficult.
The models to emulate are there for all to see. Barnsley definitely and Luton. If it’s 5 years so be it
Isn't he basically saying that we wont have a bigger budget than anyone currently in the league (that are staying up) and therefore the best we can possibly do is be higher than the promoted 3 (and in all likelihood may be lower than some of them even)?
In his head he had a great idea that he'd act as a credit broker for it most probably, shame SISU took so long to see through him
If we had had our best players available all season we wouldn’t be that far off the play off spots now the gap between where we are and seventh is six wins, not a lot really, we must have thrown away a dozen points.
I’m not saying we would have made play offs or should have, but it is fine lines to be where we will finish about 16th/17th I reckon or 8th/9th QPR & Cardiff as examples were nervously looking over their shoulders January time both recovered with a run of good results Feb/March time.
