I'll come back to you on the rebuilding sides (Newport/Grimsby), but Jon Stead is an atrocious footballer. Him and Ameobi up top, no pace.

Notts County have recruited well so far and retained John Stead who scored a few goals last year and will fancy a promotion push under Kevin Nolan
Grimsby your right did struggle mainly since the loss of Omar Boogle who'd scored 19 goals by January and are under a rebuild but another who will be aiming to hope for a playoff spot
Newport are a club high in confidence with new manager Micheal Flynn who put a amazing run in to end the season with survival, they will hope to build on that to be a club not fighting for survival.
Yeovil and Newport likely will struggle again but they wont be easy teams to break down and offer us the points for free.

I go to Skeggy frequently as I have family there. Do you know a part of it that I don't?Just booked 2 nights in glorious Skeggy for the Grimsby game. Was going to book Cleethorpes but I have my standards!
Yes we have a top eight budget so we should finish 8th ?Very naive if people think we are going to walk the league / promotion.

also top 8 might not mean 8th.
The top budget would also be in the top 8
Good idea. At least then if they placed us in the playoffs we could be saved from them by having SISU tell them that they got the budget numbers wrong and put us near the bottom.The teams should submit their budget and have the Football League draw up the table that way, like a secret auction instead of messing round with all that needless football.

How do we know it will be 8th? Isnt that Fisher or whoever playing with words along the lines of the turnover last season would have been 8th in L2 last season perhaps? When he said that he/they could have had no idea of the other clubs budgets 2017-18 surely
Its just a throw away line that has been latched on to as some kind of proof, when in fact there is no real substance to it one way or another.
As usual TF says things with an element of truth to try to keep his immediate audience happy. Him saying it is no evidence of a top 8 budget and therefore an aim of top 8 finish at all, because he cannot know yet what the other club budgets are. We could be overachieving at 10th or underachieving at 6th for all he knows, until the EFL release details.

Its not a plan at all, its him saying something that he thinks will come across as reasonable and deflect further investigation. Not so long ago we had a top 8 budget in L1 - that went well :facepalm:
The EFL do provide clubs with a league table of budgets but they do not identify each club in it so it is anonymous other than a clubs own position as I understand it. As the deadline was 16 June 2017 I very much doubt the "league" figures have been compiled yet
In any case it isn't just about money otherwise the likes of Burton, Yeovil, AFC Wimbledon etc would never have got promoted and we wouldn't have been relegated
Back trying your hardest I see. Ignored what osb says and going on about Fisher fans whilst trying to push his shite as fact.Budgeting for 8th shouldn't make even the hardiest of Fisher fans happy.
He can make an educated guess but I suspect 8th in reality is an optimistic quote.
Do we know what percentage of our FFP allowance we actually use ?
I would suggest the cup win, ticket sales, attendances and player sales should give us a top 3 budget at least.

In accountancy terms, are you saying it's all bollocks then?As usual TF says things with an element of truth to try to keep his immediate audience happy.

Tempted, how far is it?HAHA! To be honest mate, not been for years, looking forward to it!
pretty much, it could turn out to be accurate, but when he said it he didn't really have a Scooby doIn accountancy terms, are you saying it's all bollocks then?

OSB58 mentioned a Fisher quotes so pin your nappy up.Back trying your hardest I see. Ignored what osb says and going on about Fisher fans whilst trying to push his shite as fact.
He could be right at top 8 if he doesn't allocate the full 55% though, hence the question on seeing what we actually allocated.my educated guess is that at the time he said it he was just guessing with aim at deflecting questions
The link to the SCMP details is in my post above...... L1 & L2 do not use FFP. The percentage is 55% EFL Official Website - Appendix 5 - Financial Fair Play Regulations
Going to depend on when prize money and cup income actually received. If it was before 31 May then it is in last years figures and budget. If the player sales etc give us at least top 3 then Fisher is wrong at top 8
Tempted, how far is it?
Are you quite sure about that me old fruity ?Trek? It is only up one road from Coventry
Or a half hour drive!Yeovil away in August has potential for a holiday
Whereas I'll be quite happy, just down the road!Same here. Exeter is a long drive for me for a football game. The wife never moans about me going away for a couple of days......but at Christmas?
When you get there you will remember why you haven't been back for years.HAHA! To be honest mate, not been for years, looking forward to it!
Very naive if people think we are going to walk the league / promotion.
Gutted wanted to go to this one have been once before in the cup.I'm buzzing for Grimsby first away - big Saturday night out in Cleethorpes! Well worth a night by the seaside. We get to give the clown in the cap some stick too - surely even he's not capable of being sacked 1 game into the season!!!
Which is why you will be raging angry when we don't getting the bed sheets and the sharpees ready.Is it naivety or Optimism
That's the difference, I am always the optomist so yes we will walk this league.
