Just because an owner says £Xm will be going into the playing budget, it doesn’t mean it will be.

It’s like saying £36bn is going to be re-directed into alternative northern infrastructure projects…





I'd be surprised if Stockwood was just throwing about claims of 7 figure increases to the budget without any thought as to if it could be carried out, be most unlike him.

Quoted from ginnywings
I'm not disputing the 1 million figure, but it's not a lot of money in todays game, especially if it's been spread over the contracts of the next 2 or 3 seasons. Probably allowed us to bring in a bit better standard of player, by offering improved wages and contract lengths. It's not a panacea, and probably just allowed us to stay in contention, rather than jump miles ahead, given the levels of spending in League 2 now.

You just have to look at the article I linked to last week from Robbie Savage and the costs of running a club, even at level 7, is 2.4 million.

£1m is a 30-40percent increase over the  total wage budget based on latest published accounts before allowing also for the 2k on the average league gate since the season covered by those accounts so a further £500k on top that .Isn’t that significant?

No, it isn’t. It is to the average man but to be honest, if we spent an additional £2m over the next couple of years it’s still not a lot compared to others in our division.

I know that doesn’t fit your odd narrative against Hurst though, bit like the oddball that sits near me, who once again moaned about the substitutions, again, ignoring the fact they improved us and one scored…


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
