Next seasons budget

[STFC Bart]

Well its the same old story with this board. Lack of investment in players again, what a suprise. Dejavu 2005-06 but this time ground sharing with those lunatics

[DV]

its not even june yet ffs!!

[Ralphy]

its not even june yet ffs!!

Exactly what i said Dan.

We're cutting our own throats here.

[Simon Pieman]

the waiting game has served us so well in the past...I can see the anxiety tbh

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

its not even june yet ffs!!

yeah and what happened the last time we were told the budget would be cut?  

[DV]

we signed Thorpe, Cureton and Whalley all on good money.

Whilst I expect the budget will be cut, and whilst I expect no money will be made availavble for transfers. Its not even June yet and people are moaning at the lack of investment.

This is in no way, shape or form anything like are relegation season. We havent sold our main player, infact he's signed a 3 year deal and this time we've come up so we've got confidence and momentum and we've got Paul fucking Sturrock.

This will not be another 05/06 season

[Arriba]

no way will we be anywhere near relegation imo.but sturrock does need dosh to get players to take us onwards and upwards.

how so, yeah they all turned out shit....but despite the budget cut we managed to sign 3 'big' name players with a proven pedigree in the lower leagues.

At the time we** all viewed them as major coups, in reality they dissapoited and were shit.






** this we does not include Reg Smeeton as he said from the start they would be total rubbish and he was right, as usual......we are not worthy. I just wish he'd told Kingy

[Ralphy]

I think next season, even with the players we have now, we can finish mid table.

 I'd like to distance myself from that claim.....although I thought Whalley might be OK,  I never realised though we'd given him a 3 year contract.

 We are in generally  better shape than 2 years ago, but the reliance on Corr and his dodgy back, is a cause of concern.

[Ralphy]

Everyone was excited when Thorpe and Curo signed.

Even i can't deny that. I was one of those silly cunts that got Cureton 11 on the back of my shirt  :-))(

[DV]

better reg?

[Reg Smeeton]

better reg?

You are having a laugh, with the players we have signed up at the moment we will be relegated, we have no strikers for a start.

Sturrock needs to be careful about signing all these old boys he's had previous, he may have worked with them in the past and they may have been good for him - but if we sign too many players that are older then surely we risk the Whalley & Thorpe syndrome of signing players that are not hungry enough, sign a few younger players that have potential they usually play well as they may get noticed.

I'm sure Jerel & Brez will be gone if they start well next season though.
