How accurate is the information on this website?
Have "footy.com" been provided the wages of every footballer at every club in the football league? I very much doubt it...
We have to go for it next year. Consolidation won't be good enough. Our best players in there final year if we consolidate there's no chance keeping any of them. We have to hit the play offs minimum.When you have a top 6 budget you ought to be going for the playoffs and be making a push for it. If not, it makes sense to consolidate and build a war chest. For some this takes a year or two. For other teams they have to save for 10 years to have a serious push. They wont tell us that of course. 90% of the teams in L1 cant realistically challenge every year so if we have a year like last year where outside the top 2 none were really geared up to go up and horribly inconsistent, we get a Shrewsbury outcome who have "done a Leicester". Not sure that makes their manager Sir Alex though. I heard there are serious concerns about whether they will be able to go up, even if they win the play off, because of their ground?. They also dont have the clout to challenge or stay up and so will come straight back down. I would wager that next year is one of consolidation for us, getting rid of the in not good enough in-contract players and rebuilding from the ground up, with players on 3 year deals, with a view to then seeing where we are in the league table budget-wise the year after. It cannot be a 1 year goal for KR to get us to playoffs or better in year 1, from where we are currently, without breaking the bank. Think we will be about 9th or 10th
I think you need both. Big budget with an excellent manager to invest it. aka jim smith and robert maxwell in 80s, dennis smith and robin herd in the 90s. de and mapp, tiger and kr?This is all B*****s. Remember Charlie told us that league positions and budget go hand in hand duh.

There is a correlation, IF, and its a big f***king IF, you have a very good manger investing the budget AKA Jim Smith/Denis Smith/Mapp/KR.The huge correlation is between the finishing position and average gate sizes. Generally very accurate although never a perfect science (Accrington, Shrews) Playing budget is often derived from gate and other revenues so it is loosely right, although as we saw last year, any team can hit a sweet spot/shocking momentum and go from top/bottom. Not sure I would back any of the teams coming down to win it next year despite their budgets, just because they have been so poor. Rather back a team with momentum.

I agree. Well done DE. Pity he hired the wrong man to spend it. DE to blame, not Pep.
Astonishing how Accrington performed on the lowest wage bill in L2. Assuming they will not be able to increase the money much in L1 then Coleman will need to work incredibly hard to keep them up next season.
