Quoted from GrimRob
It's a budget boost. Trying to pinpoint where it went is meaningless, other by comparing this year's budget with last year's. It's like trying to work out what proportion of your taxes going on the NHS or on bombing Syria.

Having said that I'd rather have had a smaller squad of more highly paid players and forgotten about the FA Trophy. It seems some of our budget was spent on a large squad to fight on two fronts. Although we get money for getting to the FAT final I suspect we've also spent money on "lesser" players to help get us there.


The clue was in the name.

I asked who I believe is a Trust bigwig on the away coach to somewhere, (can't remember) and he said how dare I ask such a question!
Beggars belief really. I thought anyone who ploughs money into a good cause should be entitled to know where their money has been used!

HMRC helpfully give you a breakdown now on how your tax is split. Can't remember the split between health and defence - but I think it'd have been cheaper to subsidise the Russians for all the good our coalition has been at hitting ISIS.

Well no wonder we have fans in doubt when somebody asks a perfectly reasonable question to a member of the trust and the reply is "how dare you ask that question"

Some transparency will put peoples mind at rest

Trust members saying "how dare you ask that question" is obviously going to raise some doubts

So let's just check the 'facts' here.

Someone anonymous on a message board said they asked someone a question on a coach. The supposed questioner doesn't know who he/she asked and doesn't know whether the person questioned was actually someone in a position of knowledge or authority. And the supposed questioner doesn't even know when this was or where the coach was heading.

That's not testimony that will convict anyone is it?
