Didn’t Charlton sell a player for £11m? Not surprising they have more money but with the exception of around six clubs I would expect our budget to be as competitive as the rest. At the end of the day however it’s how the budget is spent and whether the manager can get the best out of the players.
THE BUDGETT SHOULD BE AN INDICATION OF THE BOARDS AMBITION FOR THE SEASON TO COME.THE MANAGER SHOULD HAVE A SAY IN WHAT HE NEEDS TO TAKE THE TEAM FOREWARD.THE TROUBLE ROVERS HAVE NOW IS THERE IS NO FOOTBALL MAN ON THE BOARD WHO CAN HAVE SERIOUS SAY TO WHAT IS NEEDED.ITS NO SECRET THAT I HAVE NEVER LTKED THE OWNERSHIP AND SOME OF THEIR IDEAS.THE TEAM SEEM TO TAKE SECOND PLACE IN THEIR THOUGHTS WHAT DO THEY WANT A TEAM THAT COULD BE LOOKING AT AT LEAST A CHALLENGE FOR A PLAY OFF PLACE OR A TEAM LOOKING OVER THEIR SOULDERS AT RELEGATION PLACRS
We have to be financially efficient although the players still on the books suggest it could be better. However, that didn't stand in the way of recent over and above acquisitions.I shudder to think of the wastage at some other clubs as we're not used to trading at some of the levels we see, nor can we.I'm still more comfortable with relative prudence as I think the fall out from failing to achieve with double or triple the budget would bring even less patience from the fans!The formula remains the same at any level in terms of managing a club well, and putting together a team that performs consistently.

If we are to aim higher we need people running the club that know how to run a business to it's best potential, not play football. Perhaps you'd be happier if we let McIndoe loose with the DRFC credit card?
appologise for the cappital letter writing but it was done for me by a nurse in the hospital im in.But i stand by what was said and i thought this was a chat line so people can voice their oppinions.that does not seem to be the case,if an oppinion is not what certain other people beleave you stand to be insulted.vaya thinks everybody should agree with him after all he knows everything.

Why can’t some others see it though?Our business and playing model should be to follow clubs like Burnley and Preston. Preston are a club I think is probably a club we can aspire to follow. Yes they have some great history but you have to go back to the 1950’s the last time they were in the top flight. Since then they have trawled all three divisions below. They are are a club that get gates of around 12,000 and are and have been holding there own for a number of years in the second tier. One season they may make the play offs AGAIN as they did it once or maybe twice. Their day in the sun may happen very soon.No reason we cannot do what they have done. We are potentially as big a club as they are. We just need to establish ourselves in the Championship again over a sustained period and our fan base will build. This season our ave gate is 8,000 for a bottom half 3rd tier club THATS GOOD.Another 4000 no problem inc away fans season. Remember 2008/09 ave gate 11,940 Patience is needed. We can do it. BELIEVE. Rome was not built in a day.

Rome was not built in a day.I've often looked at Burnley as a club whose achievements we could emulate. I've lived not far from Burnley for 30 years and know several of their fans and a bit about the town and its history.It's not a big place; Donny has a much bigger population. And Burnley are a relatively small club but extremely well-managed.If they can make it to the Premiership, not once but twice in recent years, then I hold onto the hope that we could achieve the same, or at least sustain a presence in the 2nd tier.
