I see Whelans latest article also says we are currently operating above our budget as well

Oh yeah he's definitely alluding to the internal budget. Wonder if it's mainly down to the Austin deal.

We've also signed two free agents as injury cover (Brewitt and McEachran) since the close of the window who presumably wouldn't have been budgeted for.

One might have been, had the paperwork not been "forgotten". I guess there's nothing new in the news really, Angus already says we lose 500K a year.

We shipped out Reed and Gladders, you'd think that would cover it (OK we also brought in Cain). AS above, I can see the free agents may have been the tipping point. If we are at budget we've definitely done it through quantity haven't we.

Our squad is a vast mess. Well over 30 players. Not surprised we are over budget. If we could trim it to under 25 people we could focus on quality not quantity.
Think of the £ per minute the following have cost this year:
Baudry Adeloye Devine Aguiar Harries Roberts

I expect Morris & Brand didn’t come cheap.

Certainly more expensive than Lindsey and that awful gobby assistant of his.

Baudry
"Fun" fact - Baudry played 856 league mins before his injury, more than RHM has to date, and five times most of the others on that list there. Non-youth teamers with low minutes played are Devine (54), Roberts (86), Harries (140), Aguiar (155), Adeloye (172) and Tomlinson (190). Everyone else has passed 200 (Minturn narrowly). The max played is 3330 (Brynn) for context. Hutton the highest outfielder at 2992, Wakeling second 2513.

That is a fun fact, but my choices were pretty fair for the others! Nice use of 'data'.
I'd expect RHM to get some decent mins in the next 9 games.

Has anyone with squad #9 ever played less minutes than Adeloye?

http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/PlayingRecord.asp?PersonID=CLARKELE&Season=2011-2012Leon Clarke managed 158 league minutes before Di Canio kicked him up the arse live on Sky! We got Benson in and gave him the shirt after though, so "the occupant of the #9 shirt" definitely played more minutes that year.
