Someone said it’s about average, but I have no idea if that’s true.
But as Darren Moore said, this is a team 3 years in the making, it’s not about money signings, it’s about having a game plan, a structure and getting the right players to fit it. In other words, excellent football management.

I think it would be little higher than average actually. My guess would be around 7th/8th in the context of the league. Again, just a guess but I suspect it's only the likes of Sunderland, Ipswich, Rotherham, Portsmouth, Oxford, Peterborough and maybe Blackpool that have a larger playing budget than us.

Explain to me what part of this team is similar to that of last year, the year before or 3 years ago.

I’ll tell you the biggest single thing that’s similar- we win a lot more than we lose and we are chasing promotion every year. Which kind of takes us back to the original point, namely despite your protestations that Robins has had it “easy”, that his job is a “piece of piss” etc, he is doing something very few managers have ever been able to do with us.

So the squad isn’t similar then and you’re going off about something else

So you can’t then. I was right, Darren Moore was talking shite.

Please quote me saying his job is ‘easy’ or a ‘piece of piss’

I agree with facts, the actual money that changed hands. You can use these fantasy valuations if you think it’s proving some kind of point if you like, knock yourself out.

They’re not facts unless the owners of the club have supplied them

You are using a site, so guessing, like everyone else

Kastaneer is worth more than Godden and his value has increased this month

like I said, I am talking real numbers, actual transfer fees, not these silly imaginary valuations you seem to love so much. If you can’t come up with a view without pointing at what ifs, maybes, nonsensical made up ‘valuations’, not much I can do to help you.

Basically you’re saying Robins has it easy, trying to justify the highly embarrassing “Taxi for Robins” standpoint, saying that his job is piss easy, the bar was set low, he’s done nothing etc etc, he has a big budget, and the mystery valuations of transfers that never happened are stripping away whatever credibility your views once had when we kicked off & you were saying Micky Adams was some kind of messiah- on that basis I’ll leave you to it ;)

The facts you are using are from the exact same site as the fantasy valuations...

You’re giving facts out from transfermrkt.com while saying the exact same site is making up stuff

If The Sun tells you the fact that there is currently a virus in China, as does every other newspaper, but in the same issue The Sun tells you a load is rubbish, does that make the actual factual stuff incorrect?

Come on, you can’t be this silly :emoji_grin:

What other sites have said the same then? You’ve only used one which has already been proven as not very reliable

I’ll leave you to trawl the interweb trying to prove or disprove that we did, indeed, buy Matty Godden for £734k.

Come back to me in a few days when you’ve done your research.

btw- your username is very apt apart from you put an L instead of an R ;)

The transfer fees are made up as well?

At this stage all I can do for you is to refer you to a dictionary which might enlighten you on what "undisclosed" means. Here's a hint- its not a number.

Which is still more than the 0 your reliable site has it down for

If you omit 3 players out of the 4 signed for fees then it’s not really the full picture is it?

Definitely. So far, Robins has 2 achievements. Winning a Checkatrade final and coming 6th in league 2.

The Checkatrade final was a good win but it was a one off game.

The league 2 season wasn’t actually that great until we hammered Cheltenham. We were poor throughout lots of it and had some embarrassing results. You can’t rank this achievement as no other manager has ever had the chance to manage us in league 2. Specifically, when our budget dictates we should be one of the leagues best sides.

I love robins but he has had favourable circumstances.

Notts County had a ‘better’ 46-game season than us that year...

They’re 6th in the National League, we’re 4th in League 1. It doesn’t matter if you come 4th or 7th in L2 if you win the playoffs.
