I can understand why DC can't answer questions about the stadium, but now he can't talk about the playing budget? That sounds like certain people are worried DC, who is an honest type of chap, might stoke the fires over whether the stadium battle budget will effect the playing side. Someone on another thread on here has already raised the question about who is right out of DC and Nick Higgs. DC has said his budget will be effected by the court case, Nick says playing budget comes out of a different pot. Gagging the manager just suggests that the board don't want us to know the true story...

Now let me think, now that is a hard one. |

The silencing of the Manager on the budget really makes most people think there is something the Board don't want us to know.The recent announcement that the Manager is now probably looking for loans rather than permanent signings and the worrying lack of any League experience other than Chris Lines and also the quick exit of Myrie Williams all add up to IMO a season of getting by with what we have. We are going to need the majority of the unknown factors to work out as successes in this division if we are to be in the running.

Not sure why anyone needs to go and question the manager tonight! Carry on Darrell - you're doing a decent job!
The blokes who should be answering the questions are Higgs & Co! They would have been lapping it up if the Sainsburys result had been different!
You're only as good as those at the top!
Still waiting for the Review and IT Consultant!!!

Surely if he says "yes our remaining budget is £xxx" or "the budget remains strong" etc then that invites agents / clubs to ask for inflated wages / fees? |

Why would the board want to show their hand? As Buckrippers says, we don't need other clubs/agents knowing what we have to spend because prices will inflate.
Edit. Just realised it was Minehead Gas.

Don't want to steal Buckrippers thunder or anything... Just seems to me that people are losing their minds for no reason. When has a club ever said we have X to spend? Look at what happens when clubs sell players for big money. Everyone knows they have cash so other clubs demand bigger fees. Liverpool paying £35mi for Carroll after selling Torres for £50mil is an example of this. |

Get a few pints in him, if happy drunk Darrell is anything to go by, he'll rant about Higgs until the sun rises and then go smash up a Sainsbury's.

He is too honest to keep it up too long imo. I hope I'm wrong I really do. He's the best thing to happen to this club in years. |

Hugo, in two months he might be thought of as a two faced fibbing barsteward, Higgs will now be the honest chappy and poop is purple for a month, it's the faithful and true way. We change with the weather, that IMHO is our real problem and always will be.

I'm not sure the remaining playing budget really matters as much as some people are making out. I mean take it for what it is but so far during pre season it seems to be the home grown players who are shining brightest. Maybe Clarke is thinking he may give them a chance in the squad and then hit the loan market if the youth can't quite cut it yet. That's smart business if that's what's happening.
