No funds being given to Taylor and i sense being told to trim the squad down to a respectable mid table budget level.
Whilst I am not surprised at his apparent lack of vision I don't blame Taylor one bit -
I want to blame the owners but cant either as they have found issue after issue since they came in and now I don't think they see the Championship as a short term achievable target, so why waste money.

Very very underwhelming, but not a surprise. Dont think that site on Twitter is very accurate - be surprised if its actually true. Was thinking the exact same thing. Wouldn't go betting on it |

Looks like our targets are to keep us from falling rather then rising the leagues

I thought they got rid of Barton supposedly because his results weren't good enough for the new owners and they were looking for a strong second half of the season with an playoff position still reasonably achievable (still is IMHO) at the time? I know there has been a regression in PPM since Mangan's departure (Mangan 1.60 league PPM, Taylor 1.43 PPM), but that was surely the aim? |

Agreed, it’s starting to look very confusing what the plan was/is of the new owners 🤷🏽♀️ |

What a load of rubbish, two weeks ago the owner was talking about being in the premiership; Taylor needs to get a wriggle on and use his vast network of contacts and persuasive skills and bring in players who are better than what are currently at the club and get BRFC into the play offs. I honestly believe BRFC have the nucleus of a very good team, why are pps now back tracking ?, bring in a JCH and an experienced creative midfielder and an experienced keeper, and have a real go.

Wonder if anyone at the ACN small teams like Cape Verde and Mozambique getting strong results. We need some extra fire power. |

I sense most fans who just don't want to Knock whatever the owners do, whether it's Wael or now the Al Saaeds are waiting to see what the plans are for the East Stand, as that should be a good pointer as too how much they are prepared to invest in the club, or at least how much they are prepared to borrow. |

Can’t see anything justifying a reduction in budget only speculation.
Personally I wouldn’t mind a lack of budget this window if it meant meaningful work starting on the planning for the East Stand
The players we’ve lost this window we won’t miss. We’re not desperate for any tinkering, unless we want to go for it and we’re not close enough to the playoffs to justify chucking cash at it.

As for Mangan vs Taylor PPG, Mangan got to play the foot of the table, Taylor the top of the table. Can’t compare the figures it’s like Garners 1.33 all over again.

Maybe MT is a shrewd fella and he is assessing his squad and not being tempted to buy in an inflated January market
He will know that there is enough of a decent squad here but it lacks the depth to play his favoured 3-5-2
I’m ok with trimming the squad as long as we bring in (loans are ok for now) a different kind of striker, and a CDM
The more we save now the bigger the rewards in the summer
Patience is the key here!

This thread should be renamed "January depression". |
