The budget next season

To dispell the rumours, club sources at #drfc tell me that "categorically the budget has not been cut, it's gone up a bit."

However, it seems that Darren Ferguson felt it hadn't gone up enough to create a team capable of a top 6 push.

Depend what you class as one of the highest. It’s a mid table budget.

Where’s your proof that it was a mid table budget

Probably in the same place that says it's one of the highest in the division.

There's no proof in it being a mid table budget,
However there is plenty of evidence suggesting it is not a good budget

Certainly not good enough for promotion

I was going from what SM has alluded to.

Out of interest, why would people think we deserve one of the highest budgets in League One? Shouldn't we be content with a "mid-table" budget, seeing as we finished as a mid-table team last season? Discuss...

It’s about £3m. There will be plenty with bigger budgets this season then a big group that are working with a fund similar to ours. It is what it is though.

The budget tends to reflect your league position as opposed to vice versa.

The way I understand it is:

All clubs submit their budget to the FL.

You can then ask where you are in the league and they tell you. But they don't reveal where anybody else is to you. Hence that's how you know your position on the budget league. Simples!

As long as we show progression on the field and results getting into the top six the budget is irrelevant. The CEO who assume speaks for the board said we want to be higher and so let’s see. We will tell what we have at the end of the transfer window.
We will know then if we have a chance of progressing and the ambition level of the club.

I love this. Categorically stated that it’s gone up a bit.

Surely it's about how you use the budget and not the size of it. Spunking it on shite like Kongolo and extending Evina's deal in past seasons will not have gone down well.

So does that mean if we are content with a "mid table budget" we should be content with a mid table finish next season?

Show me a manager anywhere who has had a 100% success rate with all his signings?

“A bit” maybe 2% same as inflation prediction. Anything between 60 to 80 thousand.

I did say maybe we won’t know ( it was a tongue in cheek remark) as say I’m not bothered about the budget it’s about progressing. If the owners and CEO set out plans it’s how we progress to those plans. They must supply the resources to match the plans, some will be critical.

I think it's clear enough our budget is enough to compete and after that it's not about the money, it's about the management and performances. Look at Shrewsbury and Accrington this season. Likewise look at Bury. Yes a playing budget makes a difference but this is a game played out on grass not on balance sheets. It only takes anyone so far.

It’s possible to be competitive on a smaller budget but it’s about how much chance you have of doing so. The more you spend the better players you can attract. That’s why the teams that spend the most every season win the Prem. Leicester proved that every team still has a certain % chance but that % varies significantly.

So, we've established the budget wasn't cut. So is it reasonable to think he could still have recruited to replace those who have left and we're not playing at least?

If he thinks not receiving a bigger budget means he couldn't mount a challenge for promotion then he's made a choice. That's his prerogative.

I don't see why he would have expected an increased budget anyway (although realistically, he probably had more funds at his disposal) I don't think he's made the best use of what he had anyway and there's plenty who see it that way too.

Now the quest to find someone who does believe they can manage the team towards a promotion challenge.

‘Smoke and mirrors ‘ he was encouraged to go . The next man will get the same support without having to overhoal the present squad . Deficiencies up front are well known so no doubt the manager will have ideas of his own . So he’s got not a lot to push up hill only guide it’s direction .

Fergie thinks he's guardiola and can have what ever he wants.

Yes he resigned because he wasn’t allowed to sign Mahrez.

I have never been DF's greatest fan but I believe he has behaved in a gentlemanly way and refrained from exposing detail that would counter the DRFC propagandists who talk about a five year plan, destination championship, increased budget etc. It's fairly bleedin obvious that the owners have made the decision to cap their spending on their club to what they consider to be acceptable and sustainable levels as is their right to do, it's their money after all. we should not forget that the current owners were brought in by JR in the hope that their mega wealth would flow into the club but something less than that has happened and in fact they appear to be somewhat reluctant proprietors and not the RTID type that JR was. As usual the fans are starved of genuine information but in my opinion the stated intention to be a Championship club is not genuinely supported by the owners. We do appear to have a well run and competent organisational structure and maybe us fans should just be thankful for that.
