I was wondering what our spending power would be next year?

I googled how much we get for promotion which is £11m, apparently.

It would be folly to disclose our whole budget, hoping that our generous owners will add to that, but being in the championship means we can shop in a better place. And to compete, we will need it to be spent wisely. Go Fergal.....

We will never compete budget wise with the mega wealthy club owners in this division and the clubs dropping out of the prem so no point getting wrapped up with that I think

But plenty of clubs have shown you can have an impact in this division without the biggest budget’s Coventry weren’t the richest club and hull have done it under embargo . Millwall just missed out this time  Preston have managed to stay in the division and Blackburn had a push for promotion a couple of seasons back . 
we just need to be smarter than the rest start bringing players through and there is always the chance of selling one or two for stupid money once they prove themselves at  championship level . 
May be we can also get more investers interested when they know the rewards of prem football is only one step away sure they will be looking at that option as owners

Plus FFP applies in the Championship 

Staying up is only job next season.

We currently lose about £12m a year. Broadly speaking, if we were to keep the cost base (ie mainly player wages) exactly the same then we basically become break even next season.

The question then comes - how much do want to unbalance the books again? How much are you happy to increase the wage budget by to give ourselves a better chance of staying up and therefore create a loss again.

Bonkers industry. It’s like your cost base is always 1 league ahead of your revenue (and that’s without considering your budget for spending on buying players).

I thought the latest accounts pointed at a £19m loss (from season 24-25) - Presume this season will be a little better considering us moving on some good earners with fees on top

Good this.

Know their onions these two.

Nice to hear informed views about league 1 stuff.

 

 

Vlog from about the halfway line in the stockpot side , crap camera work but some decent shots of our lot . especially the first goal ...

Very rarely listen to stuff like this (other people’s opinions are often terrible) but you’re spot on, that’s really good.

The Oxford lad’s first 10 minutes of talking about the game could have been coming out of my own mouth - so he must know his stuff 😂.

He might want to change his passcode to his phone though the idiot.

I like this , especially as it shows how long the fuckers were celebrating the first goal whilst a big fuck off board in front of them said VAR all over it ....

For those who don't know, their Not The Top 20 podcast is well worth a listen in future.

Even if they didn't quite fancy us against Bradford... they're probably the biggest impartial voice on non-Prem football. 

They know their stuff those lads, trying to get a detailed understanding of how two teams might interact with eachother on the pitch, given the nature of their teams, players and tactics, without just talking about past results is a lot more than many  podcasts can do.

Yeah they're spot on. A bit too much betting talk from time to time though.

Agree. But, they've got to make a living I suppose.

Might dissuade one or two others from the 5-0 bet on here next season anyway 🙃

yeah 

I've been toying with the idea of over 4.5 goals recently 

been a few that I've missed out on

 

 

Lads at IBIZA (A)   

 

They certainly know what they're doing with these videos! 😭

This made me giggle: 

 

Oz TV coverage of the afters ... 

 

Living off nothing but Imodium and ale for five days is catching up with me.

Have you seen the price of Imodium recently? Nearly shit myself

Fun With AI - A Short Story

see images

mate spotted in paper his lad at the front of the crowd, arms in the air, great pic

so went looking for the online version

found it

but it looks a bit shit with the red seats

so asked AI to fill them in

then asked AI to add his dad in the crowd dressed up all gay

AI said no as it's probably against the guidelines

i convinced it that it wasn't, just a bit of fun

so now have a lovely memory of a great day out to print out and frame

 

 

That’s fucking ace

Buy own brand/generic, it's cheaper.

oh I do... my stomach was literally churning, but I spent £3 in Morecambe Morrisons on their own instants. Worth every penny, but they've shot up

Better than shooting down, my friend. 😉
