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...

Wes N Thompson Ward Tah JMac Roberts Cox Navarro L. Rooney Collins Williams

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.

It really does depends on so much we can't yet know. How much of that 2.4m is already taken with what we have. Even with jd, ferry, rdv and possibly alan Mc off the wage bill I bet that's not the 2m we need to slash.

Dont forget the other players who were out on loan and have come back. Benson, Caddis and Cox. All of those will surely be moved on.

Who is saying these clubs are after him?

I like Alan Mac, but if he leaves so be it.

Can't see Caddis playing for us again -- did he arrive with Ferry and if so for how much?

Isn't A Rooney with us next season too?

I think much of what is emanating from the club regarding budget  can be taken with a pinch of salt....we know we have to downsize, and there's still a long way to go.

Ebbsfleet's new budget is £8k a week - can we aspire to that?
