Unfortunately in football nowadays you get what you pay for, and unluckily for us we're completely broke. Yes it's frustrating when we lose or finish midtable but there are far bigger issues at the club than mediocrity on the pitch.
Sacking JL wouldn't achieve anything, we probably couldn't afford to pay him off and be paying two managers at once, and any new manager is going to be stuck with the current squad, and he won't be able to bring in a whole new squad mid season.
I know some of you are going to say "S&H were able to finish high in this league, so our budget must be competitive." but our best players were just poached from Ilkeston, who S&H didn't even sign in the first place. We wouldn't have got anywhere near 3rd in the table had it not been for church, Sleath, Murphy and Newsham. Even Pearson was recommended by Welsh.
S&H did a great job but times have changed, the budgets been cut twice and there's teams that have been bankrolled.
I just know some idiots are going to label me a happy clapper or whatever but we really can't expect to be anything more than midtable when we're £3million in debt. Obviously we would all rather be up the top than in the middle but I don't go overboard when we lose for the same reason Wigan fans don't go overboard when they don't win the Premier League.
Not his particular idiot. Good post BG. I could not be more agreeable with what you say. Still why must Newton persist with spending money that the club just does not have each year? This just increases the club's debt.
Is that a sensible business model in your book?
And to whom is the £1 million owed reported on the balance sheet?
