It's almost as if it isn't all about attendances.
Why can Reading getting attendances 14000 + and we get attendances of 12000 + and they can afford to give McNulty a 4-year contract - Potentially if we had kept McNulty and he kept his scoring rate up in league 1 - more than likely we would have been in the top 2 and playing before crowds of 20,000+ the extra 8000 on the gate would have paid for McNulty wages with plenty of change
Currently spending more than they generate along with many clubs with ambition
Depends on who's in charge and running the business - plenty of examples such as Notts County - Macclesfield another one -Like Notts County?

agree championship teams receive 10 times as much money - but you need to invest to get to the championshipWould have thought it was obvious. Championship teams receive about 10 times the money for tv than league one teams. Reading own the ground and rent it to a Rugby team. Even though they only average say 2000 more per game than we do that’s about another million just on tickets.
Nearly worked as they got to the plays offs last season and were beaten by a better team with a proven goalscorerWould have thought Notts County were ambitious spending so much?

Don’t disagree at all. There are a variety of ways of investing I guess. The most common one seems to be throw loads of money at the problem and hope you get lucky. Or the method we seem to be using at present is to try and improve slowly without quite as much risk. Since Robins has arrived he seems to have taken us forward and let’s hope he does the same next season.agree championship teams receive 10 times as much money - but you need to invest to get to the championship
Good example of investment are Luton Town a team relegated to the conference not so many years ago - Coventry and Luton were fighting over the signature of a certain James Collins - Coventry lost out - Collins top goalscorer in league 25 goals

We might now be in the championship if we had them bothWe signed mcnulty instead who out scored Collins last season - so if we’d signed Collins we may not even have been promoted

Yes...some it has/does/will work. Very very few find it a sustainable strategy.Depends on who's in charge and running the business - plenty of examples such as Notts County - Macclesfield another one -
Letting it go is exactly why we need stockdale rememberWhat is it with Cov fans? McNulty, Stockdale, let it go ffs.
Maybe that’s why we’re not scoring?Depends really.
Would we be if we were playing only one of them up front in our system as opposed to Luton's attacking system?
Keep moving the goalposts about though.
Didn't McNulty act like a bit of a twat while trying to get his move to the big time? I remember Robins saying something to that effect.
Can see a club like Bolton getting him
Think it was more his agent.
It isn't happening, let's move onAfter a good start, Mark McNulty is struggling at Hibs on loan - should we try and get him back
They won't get a return, they are making big losses. Accumulated P&L increased by £1.7m from 2017 to 2018. Utterly unsustainable and no example to follow for anybodyProbably correct statement, as your right, saying unrealistic in the current way we go about our business but something I don't agree on - for example, Salford now at Wembley and could be in league 2 next season paying Adam Rooney £4,000 a week a proven goalscorer so far 21 goals in 38 games for Salford - Salford directors are not stupid and they do not seem the type to throw money with no return - they are investing for the future which we need to follow suit
Not Bolton themselves mind you as they're under embargo. Ipswich possiblyCan see a club like Bolton getting him

Yeah but they get headlines on Sky Sports News and people go on about ambition. Fast forward a few years and it's then demanding the football league step in and let down by the EFL.
What the EFL should be doing is not allowing stupid losses and clamping down on it, they won't though.
Non league has even less regulation. If you think about it 4k a week in exchange for just 21 goals at that level is a piss poor return
