The 7th largest home attendances in L2PlusThe extra money generated by from Club Doncaster model (we'd be much worse off without it, we're told)PlusThe extra money put in by the board (we'd be much worse off without them, we're told)PlusTaking a budget hit last season to pay off Covid debts (unlike all those silly other clubs)EqualsThe average League 2 budgetMust be missing something.
Interesting interview. For me it just underlines what I believe already- that sustainable or not, the sporting element of the club (and the reason we turn up on a cold Tuesday night) is poorly run. From the scoreboard being broken for months, to the PA system you can’t hear, to the catering obviously awarded to the lowest bidder without any concern for quality and value, to quite senior people now admitting that the budget isn’t enough, and most importantly to the dire football on display every week with abysmal results. If not netto it’s Asda Smart Price!
Regarding budget - it has been stated before obviously - but one large salary could be saved if we got rid of both Coppinger & Schofield - and replace them by one competent, experienced person!And then hopefully we would know who was making signings, who was responsible for strategy & tactics - just ONE person - who is responsible to the board - measured on performance & thus hired & fired by the board

Like I’ve said all along the board have been gaslighting the supporters; how do VCS members who sit on the board or shadow board not know this; what’s the point in them. It’s either the case that they themselves have been lied to or they are complicit.I made a statement the other day saying that the board are at loggerheads each month about the shortfall and how to make payment for players wages; I put this directly to SM and never got a response. Again SM are you going to confirm this is the case?
Just a thought.SM tells us (and there's no reason to doubt it) that last season's budget should not have seen us relegated.If this season's budget is only midtable L2, that implies a large cut in the wage bill from.ladt season to this.But now look at the players we lost from last seasonBogleDodooHiwulaCukurDahlbergEd WilliamsBostockSmithGalbraithJohnVilcaOdubekoMartinGardnerThink how few of those would improve the current squad. SmithGalbraithMartinMaybe 3 out of 14.And in the summer we signedMillerHurstMolyneuxLongMaxwellNot all successes, but most at least on a par with the ones we lost.We have a better or at least, not worse squad now, on, apparently lower wages.What in God's name were we paying those deadwood players last year?

Will Copps be whinging about the budget when Accrington and Sutton finish above us next year?

But it is when the Chairman believed we could get straight back in to league 1

Wasn't the comment about a top 6 budget made at the start of the season?
Has anyone got an actual quote of Baldwin/board saying we have a top six budget this year?
