I think people are taking the '10x' a bit too literally. I think he was speaking figuratively. People say stuff like that when they mean 'a lot more/bigger'.

When Power said City's budget was 10 times ours, it was a mistake on his part as he'd previously said on several occasions theirs was the division's highest and was between £11m and £12m. People have only heard the "10 times ours" and missed what went before.

Both correct I think, as FH says it was a "figure of speech" and not a literal one.

But that said, their playing budget must be in excess of 6 or 7 times ours so they should be 6 or 7 times better than us....they aren't.

As other shitty teams have done their manager has pissed his budget away on poor players, who even now are certainly player for player no better than any of our players, I wouldn't swap a single player of ours for one of theirs.

I wonder what happens with loan players? Is that a way around the budget/wages restrictions?

When a loan player comes, who pays their wages?

The loaning club will usually pay something, even if it's not the full wage - see the RAF paying for a series of loans (Proctor, Lonergan) years ago.

I believe it's not uncommon for young Prem players to be loaned out for free or with a very low wage contribution, but on the proviso that they're somehow guaranteed first team football - there were a lot of rumours around this when our relationship with Spurs started, but not sure how much truth was in them. For example in our playoff season Nouble was supposedly on 20k/week at Wham and I'm pretty sure we weren't paying even a quarter of that.

Bit of an exaggeration.....Frank was on a pauper's 10K a week.

I think Power has to be given credit as well last season he was givne criticism for his communication, ths season he seems to have improved that by doing things like the phone in and speaking more to the likes of Sam.

Credit where it is due

So I don't suppose anyone asked about the bequest (between £1-2m if I remember correctly) to the club for development purposes. That surely can't still be subject to probate - it dates back at least a couple of years. When's it ever going to surface?

First question of the phone-in.

They're in discussions with the trust of the deceased.

It's being used toward a new training ground in Chippenham (probably) there is an article about it today but i can't seem to find it.
