If our rumoured budget for next year s correct at 2.4M then we'll have double what Yeovil had and nearly triple that of Tranmere. So not really similar circumstances.
If you look at a starting 11 from our contracted players it's not all doom an gloom. Areas to strengthen yes but I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic...

That's true, with a couple of caveats. Didn't I read that the reported £2.4m includes all non-playing staff too? How much does that take out allowing for directors' salaries and benefits etc? But yes, we still generate more income than Tranmere or Yeovil (even without the staggeringly dubious £1.8m profit on concerts), so we should be able to compete with them, if we can manage our cash-flow. (This is where Jed may hit a problem this summer.)
And tbh I'll be surprised if we retain all the contracted players you list above. Wes? I can't see it. And any of the others for a relative pittance, no doubt. I bet at least three have gone by opening day 13-14.
