Well it is kind of important.
Brentford - able to sell Watkins etc for shit loads and buy Ivan Toney for a huge sum, pushing for promotionWhat does it mean?

Coventry - Limited funds to pad out a league one squad, battling relegation.
We still have a low budget by championship standards, therefore it’s an important point to make when discussing us as a championship clubCoventry - spend £2.5 m on players this season
Rotherham - spend zilch

I don't want him sacked, but I do blame him for yesterday. The team selection, formation, and substitutions were wrong. That's Robins' fault.
Just because he has won promotion previously doesn't mean he should be exempt from criticism.
For the record I also agree that taking our chances is a massive problem. It has been for a few years, but now we are facing more challenging opposition.
Barnsley have spent money, I bet their wage bill is higher than ours too. Plus they have players that are now experienced in this league after a season of struggleHow do we compare vs Barnsley in your view?

In that case they are over achieving. They nearly went down last season so there’s no reason why we can’t improve next season either. I know you want Robins sacked but the majority have more faith in him that you doTheir record transfer fee is around the amount we paid for Hamer and you can bet all you like but it’s a third of Derby Birmingham and Huddersfield

Doesn’t mean every club has to follow the same path to improve. Robins has improved us year on year since he took chargeThey changed managers to improve
Well we have changed managers many times over the last 10 years.They changed managers to improve
Up to Robins results wise none of them because if they didn't leave they were sacked as they walked the SISU plank and had very little budget Robins in his first stint went early in his tenure to barnsleyWell we have changed managers many times over the last 10 years.
How many of them would you say improved us?
You do realise we're ahead of Rotherham right?Coventry - spend £2.5 m on players this season
Rotherham - spend zilch

It matters mate...it's why you'd never see a West brom win the Premier league .Budget again....

Don't think anyone is suggesting that the league table is just an ordered list of how much each club has spent. But equally to say that clubs who have owners who are happy to write off losses of £15m a season in the Championship don't have an advantage over clubs who have owners like ours is ridiculous.It matters mate...it's why you'd never see a West brom win the Premier league .
You may get a 1 in 30 season anomaly like Leicester but that's as good as it gets with lower budgets

What people are really saying is the the owners should go back to Richardson's 'have a punt' business model and chuck huge amounts of money at the club in the hopes it leads us to the Premier League promised land. But what happens if that doesn't work? After all there's far more teams trying that than there is promotion places available.
