Bloke doesn't go to games, whinges as much as he can.
£5m includes all staff the players wages is a lot less
My 2 guesses would have been PSB Group then Dan Harvey. Presume it was that absolute melt Harvey
Bingo.

I’ve now listened to the interview. Here’s the breakdown. Some new signings set to be completed soon as well!
Lost out on a couple of £100k from not completing last home games - gate receipts.
Budgeting is a nightmare for next season. EFL haven’t said anything.
Look to bring back furloughed staff but will take advantage of govt scheme for as long as we can. Skeleton staff operating for now. At least for another month.
Retained list announced in next 24 hours. Not many players leaving. A couple.
Robins won’t be forced to sell anyone.
Recruitment dept working overtime. Being working over last 6 months for Champ signings.
A couple of new signings are very close to signing.
Central funding goes up x5 for us from EFL. Player wages go up massively in Champ. We will be one of the minnows in terms of budget. Team with lower budgets go straight back down and we need to find a way to buck the trend.
Average wage in Champ is £20k a week v £3k a week in L1.
Wages will come down this year in Champ because of the crisis.
I would much rather work within our means, finish 21st and then improve season upon season rather than spend money we don't have to only spend a couple of seasons and get relegated either due to administration or just a bad season and having to deal with the consequences in League 1.
In Robins and Boddy we trust!
Coventry City budgeting for big income cut despite promotion
Budgeting for half a season behind closed doors. Budgets will be lower across the board and a lot of clubs will have FFP issues without ticket income.
That is sensible and probably realistic.Boddy says that we are budgeting to play half the season with no fans, no crowds allowed until January...
That makes absolute sense ‘even if it doesn’t transpire that way.Boddy says that we are budgeting to play half the season with no fans, no crowds allowed until January...
Anything less than playoffs it’s taxi for Robins. True story.4th from bottom is a decent first season back.
Being serious though I’d take that all day long.4th from bottom is a decent first season back.

But of a non story really.
If we continue on the “invest in youngsters” strategy, we will be fine. It’s only a problem if we are looking at players who have played their entire career at prem or championship level and are looking for 20k a week with no sell on value.
Not aware of a Darryl MurphyIts Dan
PSB is Darryl Murphy surely
With something of the order of £7.5m coming down the pipeline now we have achieved promotion, what will our final budget be about? Anyone have an idea?
9m, 10m,12m?
The most recent published accounts, for our first season back in L1 say the wages are "£4,676,724 – an increase largely as a result of increased employee costs as a result of promotion to League 1", but that's all employees not just players. I suspect, despite the revenue drop from being in Birmingham, this season was around the same. So if you add the extra TV and solidarity payments you're in the region of £12m which puts us right down at the wrong end of the table.With something of the order of £7.5m coming down the pipeline now we have achieved promotion, what will our final budget be about?

9m, 10m,12m?
Looking at the info on that website (swissramble) in the 18/19 season of the 9 teams that spent less than 100% of turnover on wages 5 of them had been relegated from the Prem in the previous two seasons and would have been receiving parachute payments. Millwall had the second lowest budget (£17m) and even that mean 92% of their turnover was going on wages with average crowds of 13,500.I think we’re looking at £10m minimum to stand any chance at all, Boddy said revenue will double and that’s double the wage bill when we came up to L1 so maybe. I’d feel a lot happier if we were closer to £15-20m looking at that chart.

The most important thing, whatever the level, is spending within our means. If we go down, so be it.
How much do you expect them to chuck in? To be around mid table in terms of budget would probably need SISU to chuck in somewhere in the region of £20m or more a season.I think at this critical juncture and so not to undo the great progrees the club has made, SISU must surely consider chucking in a few extra funds now? They must make sure we are not left behind, and ensure MR's is not hamstrung in keeping the momentum going.
There must surely be a Ricoh deal in the pipeline now, and that would make a huge difference of course with 15-20k crowds adding to the bottom line. I think crowds will be back much quicker than people think. Certainly before Xmas. SISU will invest enough extra to land a midtable 'ish position, get a deal at the Ricoh and sell us.
On that basis with some 7.5m coming in, and I believe a bit of budget left over from last season, some SISU injection may put us in the 15m+ area, while not withstanding the fact we do have a very good side, not to be dismissed just because it's the Championship.
