If I had the debt around my neck I wouldn't be ploughing money into the playing side. Said it plenty of times already this season, it's all about getting the new ground sorted. Pretty sure the Chairman will be happy with mid-table although wouldn't publicly admit it. The difficulty most fans have is that of expectation, based on how we have finished in the last two seasons. It's hard when all of a sudden we're not beating teams who we beat last year.
Also pretty sure DG only signed a two year contract in May. On that basis, sacking him would mean he would need to be paid off - money that could otherwise be better spent. Then we get someone else in (with the same budget as DG?) and there's no guarantee he/she will be any more successful. What if we ended up with another Graham Drury ? After all, he was the Chestnuts first choice ahead of DG a couple of seasons ago.
DG has a proven track record with Boston and you don't become a bad manager over night. Hopefully the lack of funding is the cause of the decline. And funds aren't always easy to come across. It's ok for fans to start saying the Chestnuts should put their hands in their pockets but it's not as easy as that. What if they simply can't afford it? Sustainability is key in football although plenty do not care where the money comes from or even whether it's going to last. There'll always be highs and lows. The lows are just difficult to take.
Let's man up and stop acting like spoilt League 2 wannabes

A very constructive post , far more so than the usual call for a bigger budget and no suggestions as to how the money will be generated . Farcical comments at regular intervals BUFC F/B i.e where,s the Mills money gone? :dan Another seemed amazed that Greene failed to sign a number of players from the £1 increase in admission , I guess he,s no accountant .!!! Another said that Greene has a realistic budget but fails to reveal what it is .
Greene offered to go but DN refused his offer , maybe recalls the quality of applicants in the past and considers Greene a safer pair of hands .
DN said he had given Greene a small increase in budget . What has happened is a dramatic change in the make up of the league i.e. teams with big financial backing . As TEP says many have to grasp reality and accept we are no longer in the "big boys " of the league .
Like any other business when you get teams with money market forces come into play and pushes wage demands up . What would be a decent budget last season will fall short this season . York City will maybe with us next season with a £400k parachute payment in the back pocket so things will get no easier .
