Looks like Robins had more clout than Jackett when it came to buying Godden

Clearly didn’t understand his duties as a director. Hence his ban from anything football related last year.

Again you fail to understand simple things. Read the article. The reporter asked him if he got the £750k he wanted and he said well he would still be here if we never.

Posh director of football Barry Fry said today: “Matt is having a medical now.” When asked if he’d got the £750k Posh had been seeking, Fry replied: “Of course or he wouldn’t be going would he?”

So anyway. What was the point. Before you fog everything and go into tangents as you love nothing more.
Reiterate. We don’t have a top 6 budget. And most rational persons would agree apart from Pratt and Wendell.

I’ve never said we have. But you’ll be able show we haven’t then if you are so certain?

You can’t define budget have no idea what we have at all and then get shown we can bid for players that are beyond Portsmouth’s financial constraints
Not going well is it?

As opposed to Londonccfcfan who calls other fans cunts if they don’t agree with him

This thread has taken a surreal turn. How on earth can anyone make definitive statements about budgets when in possession of precisely fuck all in the shape of facts and figures? Nuts.

Well, it's one thing to argue the relative merits of players and managers, but plain daft to be adamant about something that you obviously can't back up with simple figures.

It’s an opinion. So imo Robins doesn’t have a top 6 budget. Simple.
So he’s overachieving imo. An opinion many other fans share.

No that’s not quite what you said. You said he did - you’ve now changed it to your opinion
And, we do/we don't, what's the point? Robins has had money to spend, we spent 800K the season before on Chaplin and Baka. But, he's also had to sell key players. He's doing a great job. Overachieving? Maybe if you're going to judge it solely on budget, but based on the squad we have? Possibly not, but then he's assembled the squad so deserves some credit for that. This budget league table is meaningless, aside from Ipswich and Sunderland I doubt there's much difference between ourselves and those around us. When we were 9th last week were we underachieving? It's an odd way of looking at it if you ask me, but hey ho.

The budget league table is meaningless because there isn't one.

Although normally the wages paid matches the league table

Then that would be one way of gauging whether MR is over-achieving or not. Presented with a league table of figures maybe we could even all agree. On second thoughts...

Hadn’t Pompey spunked 2 million on Marquis prior to this?

In the same window Portsmouth paid £1.5m for Marquis. Godden clearly wasn’t beyond their financial constraints, they just weren’t willing to pay £750k for him.

isn't it nice not to be fighting over the performances on the pitch?? instead people are arguing over budgets, which nobody on here has any idea of what they are!!
some on here would start an argument in solitary confinement.

Portsmouth paid over a million for Marquis didn’t they?

If I remember rightly it was estimated at about £1.5 million. Pompey sold £5-6 million pounds worth of players in the summer, which is likely to be where the money came from.
We sold Bayliss (was it for a reported £2million?) and Chaplin (reported £1million) which is where I’m guessing the money was reinvested to buy Godden and Allen and the smaller fees for Rose etc.
Back to the original topic, Robins is the best manager I’ve seen in my lifetime at the City and I think he’s doing an outstanding job, especially with everything going on off the pitch. Grateful to have Robins at the club - cancel the Uber. Pusb

Yeah. So which manager is better than which manager? How do we consider the upheaval going on at our club as in never knowing what city/town we will be playing in? Were players enticed on the Brum stadium this season? Or was it our manager?
Budget. Are we counting the money from players sold? Or is it jist on what we have spent?
Whichever way you put it Robins has a very good record at our club. And when we get those who want Robins gine they never come out with a better manager that is available and would be willing to move to us.
It is hard to compare Robins to Hill. Hill had a stadium and a very large support. Robins doesn't know which stadium he has and a low support base because of this. We are playing good football but have been missing a striker. Can we see how it goes niw we have a striker back and scoring?
