STFC Transfer Rumours

[Nemo]

I think generally with L2 budgets there are a couple of big ones and then 18 or so within a small range.

Sam M said yesterday that MK's this year (and PDCs in 2010, without adjusting for inflation even) is 2.5x ours now, which would put ours about 2m and those around 4.5m.

To sum up, I reckon Dagrumpimunki is spot on -

it's fucking guesswork tbh.

it's all probably bollocks.

Total fantasy numbers.

If it helps, that capology site has too much variance in its accuracy even at the higher levels so I assume it’s accuracy/reliability lower down the leagues is even more random

Ok, cheers. 12th is midway out of 24 teams, not bottom third, though. I'm not sure how you deduce that as towards the bottom of the League.

I guess the 4 that went up all had bigger budgets so, assuming the 4 that came down will have smaller budgets (I don't think that is unreasonable, looking at those teams), then that puts us about 8th, which, more or less, ties in with the Capology site.

Well if you consider last seasons transfer deadline increase took us to 12th using Holloway words, which means that before that it was clearly bottom third. This seasons budget is lower than last seasons, Sam M has said that, Holloway has said that so that likely drops us back down the league.

The infamous interview with SDM that got pulled said our budget is bottom third.

This will be Morfuni’s 5th season, other than under Garner we’ve been nowhere near even challenging for the playoffs so clearly the budget alongside poor management of the playing side hasn’t been anywhere near good enough.

There may not be that much in it between the mid-table teams budgets in this league but at absolute best ours is mid-table. Morfuni is clearly reliant on the Holloway factor to create a competitive team capable to of challenging at the right end of the league for once.

Sandro said we had a bottom third budget in his season, which may be where the statement comes from

This. At a time Clem was talking it up. So we know they're full of shit (but we knew that already)

See quote from Moonraker article about Smith on 18th

'The Moonraker understands the playing budget for 2025/26 has been increased over the summer, and is now pretty close to where it ended last term.'

So we are very much middle of the league i would say.

Assuming that everyone else has stayed the around the same level

Carlisle had the biggest playing budget last year apparently so look where they are

Which proves that point that budget is a considerable indicator of likely success, but by no means a cast iron guarantee. Sustainable success requires a healthy budget.

Not surprising with Carlisle, they kept trying to spend money to dig themselves out of a hole and it never happened.

The thought appointing Hughes was a good idea though

[Riddick]

Money helps sucess, but its not the only thing, and as Morsehead has suggested, it has the least influence in league 2.

The higher leagues more closely align with playing budgets

Still available

Blimey, Mustapha Carayol is still going.

Must be 15 years ago if not more that he left us?

[Jimmy Quinn]

His career certainly took him the length and breadth of the country.
