    Surely he can't do that without Doyle shoring up the midfield.

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    Football clubs are not businesses, most of them lose money and are financed by wealthy individuals. Look at the figures here, there are as many clubs losing money than making it.. lower divisions are similar with smaller numbers. Premier League finances: the full club-by-club breakdown and verdict

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    What I would argue is that at that time they were in partnership with an expert who did not have a good strategy, result expensive failed venture which the club is still trying to recover from. I think most people on this forum are coming to the opinion that a slow build strategy is probably...

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    No if the club is at an impasse then the owners have to prime the pump, I know its ancient history now but isn't that what Derek Robins did to start the 'Sky Blue revolution' under Jimmy Hill, the principles still apply do they not.

    too many key players injured... too many lightweights

    Surely a comprehensive cost benefit analysis has been done. Would there be any point in running a Cat 2 academy if it was not of overall benefit to the club.

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    Well given player sales tend to run over £2M p.a. it probably pays for itself and more. A cat 2 grant is about equal to the club contribution and also compensation payments for players that go to other clubs are higher. I know some clubs have recently downgraded to save money, but were those...

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    Difference between the already published accounts and the ones shortly to be published, which are all league one. The Checkatrade income will make a difference in the positive but lower average crowds will take some off.. I've made it clear at least twice in recent posts this season's numbers...

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    My point about transfers essentially agrees with you, payments are staged so if players are sold from time to time and do well then income will feed into the transfer dealings over several years from each deal. e.g. if Callum Wilson wins an England cap this season then the Cherries will almost...
