Great shout out to mmj!!
Mark and I were really surprised by his honesty and nuggets of information like the james Collins comment and the £150k figure. He’s a bloody good liar if he is not being honest about the stadium and the budget for this and last season.
11th largest budget and won the league.
What an interview - can you imagine about ceo and club that would allow that kind of access
You’re always cynical but what do you mean?Well I hate to be cynical but the budget position has no relation to actual expenditure
You’re always cynical but what do you mean?
Having the 11th biggest budget means that 10 other clubs could have spent more than us if they wanted to (and we don't know that they didn't).A budget means nothing. The expenditure could be 10% of the budget - looking at our total wage bill I’d be amazed if 10 other clubs were higher. Also we don’t have a FFP system as such in the league
Id be very interested to know how much Sepella plans to take back in interest payments from the championship windfall and is that deferred interest so the debt remains the same. I’d be surprised also if he gave any view on the impact of the “budget“ if the club returned to coventry - it would be substantial so I’d assume that’s the biggest priority

Me too and I don’t mean cynical negatively at all. Apart from where burge is concerned.A budget means nothing. The expenditure could be 10% of the budget - looking at our total wage bill I’d be amazed if 10 other clubs were higher. Also we don’t have a FFP system as such in the league

"Meaningless" in what sense. The words make sense. What bit do you disagree with?It’s a meaningless statement.

They could also have the highest spend which is far more likely.Because in theory the team with the highest budget could have the lowest spend. Also aren’t these “budgets” reviewed in interval periods?
Fair point. I made my comment before you started to explain in your previous post. I find you sometimes say something dismissive but don't explain why. But here you did. So, thanks.Because in theory the team with the highest budget could have the lowest spend. Also aren’t these “budgets” reviewed in interval periods?

I agree there are a number of factors involved but spend isn't just about transfer fees. Sunderland didn't sign anyone for fee last season but they had a £10m wage bill. Whilst that was a partly a legacy of where they had come from, they still effectively spent more than us and a team with a £10m wage bill should be better than one with a £2.5m wage bill.No it isn’t. Bournemouth ignored it on their climb as an example. We spent £750,000 on a striker - not many did and some with higher budgets had Wages already contracted which means no ability to spend
Great from Boddy and some good relevant questions - I hope Clive Eakin and co watch and learn something.
ill expect a barrage of abuse here but the shine somewhat taken off it by hearing at the end that the guys were pleased to have benefited from the season ticket fund (free season ticket) as this allowed expenditure on shirts and away days etc.
For me, that’s not what the season ticket fund is for.
Think you're maybe being a bit harsh there KCMGreat from Boddy and some good relevant questions - I hope Clive Eakin and co watch and learn something.

Not at all, I’ve always said we want to be fair and that people feel that they helped some on in need.ill expect a barrage of abuse here but the shine somewhat taken off it by hearing at the end that the guys were pleased to have benefited from the season ticket fund (free season ticket) as this allowed expenditure on shirts and away days etc.

We had one guy who has said on Twitter so hope he is ok for me to say but had lost his job and sacrificed his usual season tickets for him and his lad, he later found work after we had purchased but we cannot take the ticket back or wouldn’t want to, he has donated to this years fund helping someone else out.
With Clive and his lad, his circumstances at the time didn’t make it possible as a family, we helped, his son has found a new found love of the vlogs and club and has made a donation to this years fund as well with what he has spare.
Someones circumstances at the time can differ to later in the season but you are right to comment and express to make sure we do get this as right as possible.

One of the players we’ve missed out on of the targets we had for the league 2 season. He thinks Luton paid £500k, we offered £150k all we could afford at the timeWhat was said about James Collins?
