At saturdays shambolic game I was given information from a club member that our manager was promised a playing budget of £4 million in the summer for a big push for championship football. He then signed his 5 year contract exstension but has not seen any of this money appear. If this is true then he/we have been badly let down.when Hamer made the “top six budget statement” it makes you wonder if He was lied to also! What the hell is going on?

This is probably true because DC certainly thought he would be bringing in players, instead he has too many players who are quite simply not good enough for div 1

You can have all the playing budget you like, but if you've not got the infrastructure and there's no change on the horizon, who are you going to attract? £4m (If true) would suggest Rovers were going to chase some top players but I couldn't see that happening. They'd take one look at our training facilities and stadium and run a mile!

This is probably true because DC certainly thought he would be bringing in players, instead he has too many players who are quite simply not good enough for div 1 Thing is, though, if you look at the team, the entire first, say, 18, were easily good enough for this division last season (the exception, imo, being wide left). So, I don't really see how it is about that. On paper the squad is good enough, simple. The problem is we have a player like Sweeney, who was easily good enough last season, and doesn't seem to be now. Locks, the same. And many others. Sercs, is an addition and probably our best player so far. You can go through the whole team, and on paper, that position is better served than it was last season. (the only exception of course, being Taylor/Nichols. (and arguably Montano/Moore, but I would say they are both similarly poor).

Sod budgets and infrastructure etc - it’s 11 men vs 11 men! Just make sure our 11 men perform better! That’s the product and that’s what people pay to see! Sort that and you sort this mess! 11 men don’t need money to play football!

(the only exception of course, being Taylor/Nichols. (and arguably Montano/Moore, but I would say they are both similarly poor). I take your points. But what happened over the summer, other clubs in div 1, brought in better players, invested in their teams and in Shrewsbury’s case brought in players and a new manager. We stayed still, apart from Sercs who imo is quality, this season the opposition is better, unfortunately we are not. And of courses we won’t attract many decent players with no training facility and tired ground

The simple answer is that the whole atmosphere around the club has changed since the cancelling of the UWE. Even Clark is now public in his criticism of the status quo.
I was asked recently what I hoped to achieve by going public with various bits of info from behind the scenes. My answer, honestly, was to hope the fan base would wake up and see what was staring them in the face. It now seems they are beginning too. That gives me hope that in turn, our owners wake up, to either sell up and go, or invest in a new stadium, preferably the UWE, and the team. I still don't believe the reason given for calling it off, and find it laughable that anyone would believe it.
We have had 50 years of bullsh*t from owners. The Mem is obviously not a plan b, and the training ground is now on hold. Invest or go is the only hope. Trouble is, if they don't, it begins to smack of asset stripping, and there is not long before even that becomes non viable.

Dead right. But I was asked the question. If you don't like it don't read it. That's ridiculous. You can't tell what you're gonna read until you read it. You were asked the question elsewhere, and you chose to post about it here, on a completely different thread. Your choice. And I read it. If all you can say about your choices is 'Don't read it then' like a five year old, then that doesn't say a lot about them.

I was asked recently what I hoped to achieve by going public with various bits of my own guesswork and speculation. My answer, honestly, was to hope the fan base would wake up and see what I think was staring them in the face. They are discussing it. That gives me hope that in turn, our owners wake up, to either sell up and go, or invest in a new stadium, preferably the UWE, and the team. I still don't believe the reason given for calling it off, and find it laughable that anyone would believe it. We have had 50 years of bullsh*t from owners. Invest or go is what I want then to do. Trouble is, if they don't, I’ll continue to release more speculative guesswork heres that post again with the speculation, guesswork, assumption and individual interpretation removed.

So stick to your own forum rules then and attack the poster not the poster? Anybody having a pop at GI this weekend after DC's 20man interview hss obviously still got their blinkers on, I took mine off on Thursday evening.

I do wonder if the UWE are trying to stitch the AQL's up, either because they know there's another interested party, or parties, if they are then there's not a lot the ALQ's can do? Meanwhile at little old York City in National League North: York City new ground

Dead right. But I was asked the question. If you don't like it don't read it. it really wateres me of how people jump on your back. Just so you know people do want the info you provide be it true or false. I personally am on the side of thinking there is no smoke without fire. At the moment there is a lot of smoke.
