Without doing to much homework on them , they also already had a big squad , a lot of there financing was tied up , is my educated guess, hence why they never off loaded much, plus the fact they did very well last season. They believed they never needed to. Time will tell.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
I think the simplest explanation is Johnson IS a good and very experienced manager, and made the best of his resources. At Conference level, with the parachute payment, Cheltenham had a budget in the same ballpark as us. Back in the League they are a middling-smallish club and don't have our resources.



This is likely to be the case. Johnson is good. The point was made on the C5 show on Saturday night that he had won 4 promotions with Cheltenham and Yeovil. None of them have been with massive budgets, he knows how to get value for money and he knows how to build a team to compete in the league he is in. They may only be mid-table unless they put a run together late on but their fans are probably being a bit pessimistic at present. September means very little, a lot can change by next April.

Agree lots can change, but if we were in their position the Fishy would full of pessimism and the Hurst Out banners would be getting an airing. Just saying.

I believe Chelts had a clear out when they were relegated and are now stuck with good conference players on 2 year+ contracts meaning they would have had to pay players off to get rid of them to make room for new ones.

Quite so, there are some Johnson Out banners at Cheltenham too and plenty of talk of relegation battles on their forum. We aren't unique in that respect.

In the bottom 2 now, looking (at the moment at least) Hursty got it right having a clear out and the gap is wider than first thought


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause
