Is it not blatantly obvious that I was just making a point regarding confirmation bias? I don't think we're being bankrolled at all, obviously. That would be just as ridiculous as those that pick and choose 'facts' to support the argument that we have a non-league budget, for example.

Now if PB is in receipt of a reduced budget, what is the perception of what he should be achieving?  It is, of course, entirely possible that our opponents will also be reducing their budgets, squad building dealings should give us a clue.

Fair comment that, its relative budget not absolute that is of interest.

That said, while a lower budget is disappointing unless we are now bottom third of the budget league I wonder how much difference it really makes.

We can afford to have a slightly smaller squad - when you take into account the injuries to Conroy, Preston, Linganzi and the shitness of "Robbo" we were effectively running with a smaller squad anyway.

The biggest concern for me is that the squad is already carrying a few passengers, so there is not much room for maneuver outside the loan market (as things stand).
-----------
No proper predictions from me until we see what happens in the market. If you want a meaningless one "as thing stand" - we are inadequate in all departments and a bit short of quality options up top - lower mid table.

No, no it wasn't. I'll coffee up.

edit: didn't change the fact Brown made one statement of fact, one of opinion though.

I'm certain he also called Anderson Anderton.

Thought he was very forthright last night - refreshingly so. Most clubs like to give the appearance of having next to no budget so they don't get stiffed by the likes of Barry Fry.

I think an as things stand comment is fair enough, we know that things will change, but where's the fun in not giving it any thought.  I'll wait a bit longer, as yet we don't know the complete make up of Div 4.

That was embarassing

The way she was going on you would think he had been her for years, he only played 17 times for us, suggests that he is a little desperate for anyone to take him rather than to come to STFC...

Interesting discussion regarding Tom Smith....

Edit - we have some fucking strange supporters....

What question was yours, just so I can place which nut job you were!  Wink

The obsession with wanting to talk about signing ex players was bloody odd, I was just waiting for Reg to pop up and ask Brown whether he was going to resign Harold Fleming....
