Was pretty clear watching pre season games he and Barlow were nowhere near good enough. Speaks volumes of the budget.

Speaks volumes of the budget.When you say “ speaks volumes of the budget” are you agreeing that the budget was spread so thin that we couldn’t afford the better players due to financial constraints, so had to opt for bargain basement players within the budget in order to have enough players to start the season?

How much will it cost to buy our way out of League 1 - discuss?

It can't be answered? how much have Sunderland, Ipswich and others previously spent - and that is the clubs point:a) we can't afford to keep up with the jones'sb) it guarantees nowtAnother view on that question would be, if we spend as much as we are currently, we will not be in the league for much longer.

No - that is - How much do we need to spend to buy a place in League 1?
Why oh why would a club want to get relegated????We have a nucleus of players on longer contracts so unless there are relegation clauses will still be on the same moneyThe overheads of the ground won’t changeWhat will change is income less home fans certainly less away fansIncome from the EFL will also be reduced Sorry your argument doesn’t fly
