Quoted from lukeo
Minimum was 7th? says who? Look at the size of the club, the quality of the management team, the quality of the squad the budget etc. There are probably 15 odd teams who I'm sure have atleast one eye on the play offs and hope to get into the lottery of it.


Russell Slade said it in the press conference when he was appointed. So against the target that he publicly set we are currently failing.

It makes Hurst’s fundamentallly conservative observastions and realistic targets look quite sensible now doesn’t it? Not dour and unambitious, just sensible.

Allegedly the playing budget is "top 7"


If so why did the latest statement say that they were making an injection of money in order to make the budget competitive?

From what we were told earlier in the season. Tbf the board haven't, as far as we're told, ever refused any manager a portion of that budget, whoever it was. Wth this budget we should be top 7. We aren't and don't look like being any t soon. Failure thus far, whichever way you want to spin it.

It might be top 7 in quantity but it's not in quality.

I'd be flabbergasted if it was top 7 given that in the division below we were struggling to each make the top 7 and the directors are not pumping in huge sums every year (unlike some clubs in the division).

Because this idiot manager has frittered it away on crap. Nobody can tell me all the players he's brought in are better than those he cast out. The top 7 budget is a direct quote from his Nibbs. So wth the extra, it is probably top 5. So much for building the team eh?
