Is it just me or did Stockwood say the budget is terrible for next season?


No, he did say that.
I hope he adds some context or comparative detail to that because if he’s declaring now that the budget is ‘terrible’ next year, we’ll get more of the same. And…it’s not entirely helpful in terms of prospective season ticket sales.
I hope he qualifies/addresses this.

Pretty clear he meant the overall finances rather than, specifically, the playing budget. Nevertheless, looking forward to this line being repeated on an almost daily basis for the next year - the narrative has been set!

They’ve previously said they were expecting to lose 6-figures every season but were fine with that. Imagine next year will be more of the same.

It was an absolute car crash by the Donny game, and whatever the reasons are for the change in style, the important thing is that it saw us to safety.

I am still cautious about next season, but I hope that Artell has learned a lot about his footballing principles over the last few months.

Defended Hurst to the hilt and to my detriment. I was wrong. I hope Artell succeeds. Even in the bleakest moments post Donny I thought he was the right manager at the wrong time. I’m glad he’s got a summer to sort it out. He’s earned that at least.

I've been reading all the posts. Agreed utterly crap season. I've been 6 times only and not seen us win at all, I've traveled over 1000 miles but I still love this club.

Artel I think will come good. If he wasn't the right guy, they players would not have played for him. They did post Donny so there's a leader there somewhere.

Anyways look at the other things we do as a club. [https://youtu.be/0FqeTerEPwE?si=jkj1dOF6_bvf5dxw] I have just been laughing at stuff like this. Believe it or not fishy fans, we are bloody marvellous. So let's enjoy and celebrate being a league club tonight x

Let's not rewrite history, it went sour under Hurst  but that run under Artell was one of, if not the most diabolical in the clubs  history. And given our recent  history  that's saying  something.

Even Alex Ferguson would have taken flack for turning in results like that,  especially given the stuff he was spouting which was directly contradicting what people were physically seeing.

All that being said I've never quite seen such a hand break turn perfomed and he deserves a lot of credit for that. We've done enough to limp out the season, and must do much much better next time around.

Sounds like Artell was brought in to play the 'game model' the owners wanted baffles me that anyone thought the players we had could try and play that way, glad it was abandoned to make us more solid...

We would have been safe with Hurst. Artell deserves credit for changing his his style but probably would have been sacked if he didn't. I think he deserves a chance now and I'm hoping he does well next season.

It’s obvious the budget will not be able to compete in the top half of lg2 so unless the data guys get it right it will be more of the same

We had a good budget and it was largely wasted. Sounds like the data guys didn’t get much of a look in. Tharne and Thompson give me reason to be mildly optimistic.
