Anyone thinking that next season will be better is completely deluded. There will be no investment in the playing squad and no wages. This will have been the best season for a while when we look back in a few tears if nothing changes in the ownership of our club

Is this factual?
Is this factual?
Approx 2,000 tickets @ approx £9 = £18,000 per "home" game. Approx £18,000 x 23 = Approx £414k per season. FFP = 60% so known income equates to about 250k in wages and transfers. 52 weeks in a year = approx 5k a week to put a squad together :facepalm:
So we will end up with all youth players or about £500 a week per player on the pitch and youth making up the rest of the squad.
Not factual yet as we don't know where we will be playing for sure. But if we are back in Northampton again next season yes very factual unless we get another Arsenal type of game at the start of the season.
More nonsense. Equity release will be injected.
Is it just me who doesn't agree with this? Now I think Pressley's done a good job without much backing but I think regardless of the ten point deduction we should still be in a better position and not in a relegation battle. Or am I overestimating how good our squad is?

That's true enoughPeople who thought we'd do anything but sink without trace with our -10 start were similarly told they were deluded last summer. Nobody knows.

I'd certainly lean towards it being a bit of a shitter again, but it's still nice to have some hope left at the same time.
Wow, an 'unbelievable' achievement staying up in League One. Thank you Sisu for setting the bar so high.
Astute is pretty spot on. Sisu have had years to prove us doubters wrong.
The Arsenal money wasn't used on the team. The Clarke money wasn't used on the team.
FFP will decimate an already below par team.
And all 35 miles away.
The arsenal and Clarke money was used to fund operating costs and reduced losses

The Arsenal money would not have been budgeted for and its unlikely it was budgeted for Clarke to suddenly hit form and be worth a few quid. Are you saying that when SISU, prior to the start of the season, stated they would cover any drop in revenue due to lower attendances at Sixfields weren't being truthful and they have instead used the Arsenal and Clarke money to do this?
Astute - whilst that all looks pretty correct in terms of your figures, you know that ticket sales isn't our only income stream, right?
Also, even if 'additional streams' didn't produce much more, our budget is probably still decent when compared to other clubs. Not every player is going to be earning 'mega-bucks' in League One. We've managed to get high earners of the wage bill over the past 5 yeards and replaced them with cheaper options. It wouldn't surprise me if a few people on here were on better money than some of our first team squad.

We have the smallest crowds in the league and almost no sponsorship.
Lets get one thing straight Steve Pressley has pulled no rabbit out of any hat. Our squad at the beginning of the season was good enough to be if not the top 6 certainly the top half so the minus 10 points a pain in the ass yes but we were well equipt to overcome that and did so pretty quick. At Christmas we were well on course to achieve a good league position, since Christmas we have been abysmal to put it mildly. We have signed a procession of strikers none any good in my opinion and have the most suspect defence in our history. Okay i'll give Pressley next season on a better platform than this year but he has to produce a far better performance than this season. Steve Pressley is not the Messiah and is well under the microscope next season.
Most posters on here claimed that we were heading for certain relegation this season.
