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.
I may have missed it but I haven’t seen anything that sates he issued the statement before his resignation was accepted. Although i think it’s onvious they didn’t part on good terms, the usual statement from the club thanking the manager and wishing him good luck in the future hasn’t appeared either.
I’ve seen Liam Holden say they werent expecting it but I’ve not seen anything about him releasing a statement before the club even accepted his resignation.

It’s a mid table budget. Where’s your proof that it was a mid table budget There's no proof in it being a mid table budget, However there is plenty of evidence suggesting it is not a good budgetCertainly not good enough for promotion

So do you think the club had a meeting straight away to discuss his resignation?Instead of being argumentative, start being realistic, it's obvious DF got the first punch in while backs were turned
Quote from: bobjimwilly on June 05, 2018, 11:01:17 amOut 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...So does that mean if we are content with a "mid table budget" we should be content with a mid table finish next season?

Am I the only one who's thinking:If, as SM and Andy Giddings are saying the budget for next season has gone up, and this whole thing really is all about the budget, why didn't DF walk this time last season when it was less?
How many of those clubs whose finances went tits up through overspending still hold a higher league position than us though? Put it another way, how many of them are lower than us?On the other hand, consider Crewe Alexander, a club who we seem to want to emulate. Where has the policy of youth development left them?
We are of the stature we are through choice.
All of the above is based on very little actual fact lol.
If we'd invested more in the Championship squad we'd have attained a bigger fanbase, and reaped the benefits of Championship status. Our 'lack of size' would have been rectified. A prime example is Wigan Athletic, who just 40 years ago were a non-league club. Why have they overtaken us?
