Was talking to someone ( in the know ) last week and he said we have the 3rd smallest budget in the league. Also Spalding's budget is a lot higher than ours. So it makes what Den is doing with the team remarkable. So we are punching above our weight.
No idea if this is true or not - I thought we we're more 'average' than that - but it's not impossible. We like to think we're a 'big' club and in name only I suppose we are. But as for resources, much of the income from our large-ish crowds will be swallowed up by the YS rent, and David Newton runs a tight ship, cutting his cloth accordingly.
Even if we have an average budget, it still shows Den is doing a great job. And if we really are that poor, then he's doing a bloody magnificent job.
