"Bugger. We were hoping you knew little about football and wouldn't ask. Well it was one of the best in League 1 this season so naturally next year's budget is to be one of the lowest in League 2". "I'll get back to you". Don't talk shite. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but he was at Palmerston this morning rejecting an 18 month deal because our budget is pish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really know your stuff pal. Obviously the budget was already spoken about in detail but something changed between the agreement and Sunday morning when they were going to sign and make the announcement. so obviously the board had to let said manager know that something had changed within the budget. Said manager wasn’t happy with the numbers and compared it to a club in lower half of league 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lower half Championship budget that is why the likes of Riley and Wilson turned down deals at Morton to sign for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, the fact he thought he was getting budget x and is now getting budget y? Or has his investigative prowess identified malfeasance at Palmerston? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
