Should only be looking at loans unless a player we’ve targetted previously is available. When we go up, we’ll need the money to invest in better players. Pointless wasting the budget now.

Three players have been brought in, and have cost the club nowt....a young lad who's not played a league game before, a Rotherham reject, and a guy who hasnt played for a year due to serious injury.
We're top of the league ( till Tuesday), and we shouldnt be bringing in cheapo signings like this. We should be bringing in decent quality players. You dont get promotion with boys, rejects, and sicknotes. Harsh but true.
Hard to take for most fans, but this is true, if we're being really honest.
Remember, so far, a well off club, with about 10 multi millionaires as board members, that are being sponsored by about 30 sponsers, havent spent a single penny in this window, not a single penny!
Name any league 1 or 2 clubs that turn a profit.

We are filling the stadium on a regular basis this season. If we do go up, it will be difficult, and our average attendance next season will probably be less than this when we will be losing more matches. In summary I am not sure our revenue would go up significantly, but players will be expecting League 1 incomes and fans will continue bleating for even more and better players.

Okay, got it.
PS mine is of course correct, the budget allocated has been sufficient, it’s just been misallocated.

The reality is that which division we are in will not impact attendances greatly, but whether we are winning or losing does, and we will lose more matches next season in division 1 compared to division 2.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 3:55 pmAttendances will drop and will be exceptionally hard to regain if the club fail to get promoted.Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 3:34 pmWhat massive money will we lose ????PoundhillO wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 2:58 pm

Hard to imagine that Stevenage on crowds of 2,500 - 3,000 have a bigger budget than us but they seem to have attracted a few decent players, like Piergianni and Sweeney.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 6:28 pm Purely out of curiosity I wonder how our budget compares with Stevenage's.?
