Who cares ccfc rotten to the core.
CCFC chairman faces Q&A at Sky Blue Trust meeting – watch in fullI just want someone to link me to where this has been said. I'm not interested in arguing about how we're performing in relation to the budget but don't remember this ever being reported anywhere and is now seen as a fact because it's been repeated so often.
If I'm wrong then fair enough but can someone prove it?
Top 3rd could mean highest budget though couldn't it. The assumption has just been made that we're the lowest possibility.CCFC chairman faces Q&A at Sky Blue Trust meeting – watch in full
The only place I've heard it mentioned is here. 58 mins 30 into the Trust video where he says they're backing MR with a top 3rd budget (i.e top 8)
Yes, it could. That's the only reference to budget I have seen from an official source though. I didn't understand how he could even make that statement in March to be honest - we didn't know which teams were going to be in L2 then. I just presumed it was a deliberately vague soundbyte based on his early fag packet calculations made to appease the fans there by making it sound like we would be somehow competitive.Top 3rd could mean highest budget though couldn't it.

And there's good reasons to be more general and not say 'we have the biggest budget in the league'. That puts expectation very high, and publically puts expectations and pressure on the management and players. Anything less than top isn't good enough.Top 3rd could mean highest budget though couldn't it. The assumption has just been made that we're the lowest possibility.

Is that a bit like Robins claiming Swindon have a squad worth £9M ?Well the only thing I heard which makes me think we have a top 6 budget is when ive heard:
Mansfield / Stevenage/Chesterfield and Carlisle Boss say that some of the transfer dealing they were blown out the water by Coventry for.
And these were quotes at the time from various managers pre match.
lol true.Is that a bit like Robins claiming Swindon have a squad worth £9M ?
Also depends where your priorities are for players, and how much you're prepared to spend to get them in. We were also blown out the water for certain other players, too.Well the only thing I heard which makes me think we have a top 6 budget is when ive heard:

Correct-How did he make a calculation not even knowing how many season tickets would be sold?Yes, it could. That's the only reference to budget I have seen from an official source though.

Top third? Isn’t this the guy who said announcement in three weeks? Pass the salt please.CCFC chairman faces Q&A at Sky Blue Trust meeting – watch in full

Plus we had this argument last year where people were convinced that we had a top quarter or top half budget depending on who you talked to at any point before Xmas based on noise from the club. Didn’t it come to light in the end that it was bottom half to bottom quarter? Between the budget and Slades appointment wasting what was left of it we reaped what we sown last season. Dare say this season will prove to be the same.Why would you low ball the budget to fans?
If it was top quarter or top fifth you’d say so
Well that clearly backfired going by the most common theme of new threads over the last week or two.And there's good reasons to be more general and not say 'we have the biggest budget in the league'. That puts expectation very high, and publically puts expectations and pressure on the management and players. Anything less than top isn't good enough.

Also FWIW, isn't that the oldest bargaining trick in the book? 'Well Coventry have offered me £90,000 a week, and free blowjobs... what are you going to offer?'
Well, the only player to public knowledge who we’ve been ‘blown out of the water’ for, was Marc Richards. We could’ve been hesitant to offer him an 18mth contract.
Other players like Williams, Davies, some Barnet lad, maybe Newton at Stevenage, didn’t want to come to us for whatever reason.
My god you talk some shiteRecent managers have made it very clear by their coded comments whilst at the club, and by their less guarded statements after having left, that the club is being run on a shoestring. There's been too many cases over recent years where we've failed to get targets or have relied on loans and youngsters not to suggest that our budget is middling at best.
That said, whilst other clubs in this league have more income channels eg f&b, you do wonder how it is, every year, two or three clubs have money to spend out of proportion to their fan base.
What I fail to understand is sisu's nopm full stop mentality, such as the season before when we had a real chance of promotion. If only they would tell what the end game was, to put us out of our misery.

At last, insulted by the resident troll. I feel validated.My god you talk some shite
Where did that number come from?yet we paid £125k for a loan of JCH ?
Bawtryneal needs to come on and explain it...or search his old posts. It's not quite as black and white as that.Where did that number come from?
Clive suggested it on CWR.Bawtryneal needs to come on and explain it...or search his old posts. It's not quite as black and white as that.
