No because it’s the same people funding any deals, the same people have been backing us for a long time now, the man in charge may change but I don’t think that changes our budget drastically.
Yeh a slight increase on last season to keep us competitive with the top 8/9 teams wasn’t it, I’d imagine it’s not massive though and will have been agreed a long time ago. Nothing will change once the takeover is announced.
So if nothing is going to change, what’s the point?
My point is I assume the changes have already been budgeted for given that it’s still the same people, they knew this was coming for a long time.
I think it will change. Telling all and sundry that you have a bit of money to spend is not going to help us in our transfer business.
I hope the budget doesn’t change much, we've still only got 7K fans, there’s no point in being a plaything subsidised by billionaires
I think if you want to break in to the top 2 leagues, there is going to be an element of this I'm afraid.
Even with a new man in charge with his own ideas, budget going up, you think things will stay the same? What is the reason for the change in ownership then?
You seem to be dampening down any realistic expectations people have? Someone takes control of a football club for a reason, has a vision possibly.
No way Tiger would agree to increases in budgets without the deal being agreed unless he was happy with the possibility of funding it himself should the deal not go through.
I mainly want us to be sustainable. Promotion would be good fun but not if we end up like Sheffield Weds or Bury
I thought the “new owners” have been covering more of our losses over the last year as it is? If they agreed to do the same again there’s no reason we couldn’t increase our budget.
There is now an additional 8mil in shares. I would be worried if that 8mil was solely there to cover our COVID losses…
Covering losses, is whole load of a different ask to covering an increasing playing budget, they are both either end of the spectrum.
