This isn't a snipe a Smurf just more of an observation.

 

You say that he's telling us the truth. How can you know that? We might have thought that we were being told the truth by the last incumbents but now we know otherwise. I'm honestly not saying that Smurfy isn't telling the truth but you seem to be stating a fact that he is. I just wonder what you base that on?

[grebovale]

Well he certainly ain't lying by saying everything is rosy

So he bought a club he knew nothing about (despite being a Sunderland season ticket holder and Coventry's biggest fan), someone knitted him a scarf, built a shop, painted the loos and introduced a ticket system.

 

He's now basically saying he is investing no further and cutting the budget which will see our best players leave and the managers not being offered a contract because he might cry if he's tied down?.....is that the truth we're supposed to be happy about?

The playing budget is based on 60% of the gates, the forecast gate for next season will be less than this season. Therefore the playing budget will be less next season. That is not a lie, just a statement of the economics.

The budget will not change unless we are promoted where that restriction does not apply, we would have £2M extra in TV money, but even then we are not likely to spend more than £8M above income which is the Championship limit before fines apply.

Just complying with Fair Play rules.

So we aren't this season?

I don't know, but we have not had a transfer embargo imposed,

[Howjy04]

So we aren't this season?

 

Who knows?A few players have been sent out on loan,Hughes has gone.In return a lad from Fulham.Overspend on wages?.4million estimated revenue this season giving a 2.4million wages budget.Thems the rules LV.

Not including the share issue, it's same old, same old.

Honesty or not just take time to reflect where we would be without what NS has or has not done. As I posted on the meeting post any business that has just come out of administration has to have a 3-5 year recovery plan to re establish itself. Rome wasn't built in a season.

3 or more seasons in L1 is better than staying in L2, it is exciting close to the play-offs, I enjoy it game by game. Building a team over a few years is enjoyable too, miracles happen, but not very often, steady improvement usually gets there.
