was his mismanagement and lack of Leadership that got us into this shite so aint been much of a business man here for sure.
Wish he had the same ambition as Gibson down the road is showing
Gibson for years spent fuck all because they were financially in the shit. We are now in that boat.
 
I'm sorry mate but that's just David Brent style waffle that is becoming more and more prominent in football debate.


If a football club manager says his club has a competitive budget for the division they're in it suggests to the club's supporters that they have money to spend not that 'Budgets and financial targets are dependant upon potential business activity'. Let's not overcomplicate matters



It's factual business! Call it David Brent all you want!



Our SAFC that we all love is a business and not one owned by someone who is not bothered as much by P& L like the Chelsea, Man City and PSG's of the world!
 
After several years of hell in the Premier I have no immediate urge to return, mate.

i understand, however we will need to return before the end of payments so sometime in may 2020, or are we just going to get settled and happy with the championship long term ?
 

Do we have a competitive budget relative to what other sides competing at the top have or do we not? It's as simple as that.

If Grayson says we have, then we need to start dipping into that budget sharpish. If investment is dependent upon selling a boat load more players then he should be saying that.
 
I listened to it all as well and I ask you one question. What exactly gave you that impression??

The Part when Grayson said he was working with Bain to get some stability, and also that they didn't have the budget that maybe others in the division had.
 
Have you seen what Wolves and Boro have been spending?

We have no Ambition then?

So when he said we have a competitive budget had you stopped listening?

so Gibson emerges now stronger than us after spending fuck all when we have had 10 years of Prem funding to spunk about? Thats without taking into account our extra gate money. Gibson clearly better at running a football club and with more ambition now than Short to get promotion!

I got exactly the same impression mate. It didn't feel like there was an insatiable appetite at the club to get us back into the top flight.

As much as we took the piss out of Newcastle last year when they went down with regards to their long term ambitions, it was tangibly clear that they planned on an immediate return.

That isn't the case here. There are no noises coming out of the club that makes me think they are a wounded animal, pissed off with last season's events and want to fix it. The appointment of Grayson, the recruitment, the pre-season, everything just points towards stagnation.

For the life of me I can't understand how some supporters can't be angry or agitated it by it. Even if we have no money, someone come out and say it with the added caveat that it doesn't matter because we will build a belief around the squad and in the stands that we can do it without the budget as we have done in the past. Something or anything will do. From the owner, to the CEO to the manager and the players, there is no obvious fire in the belly or ambition for supporters to cling to. It's a sad state of affairs and if people are happy to go along with amateurish on field performances, recruitment, radio interviews and fan filmed drunk player interviews then good for them but there are thousands of others that aren't and that will be clearly demonstrated in the stands over the coming weeks.

I heard him loud and clear. I don't believe we have. And neither do you as you have said we need to sell more before we buy. We either have no budget or a hypothetical, who knows whether it's competitive or not because we haven't got it yet budget.

Wolves have spend.£18.73m
Middlesbrough £42.29m

Sunderland £1.19m

So on the subject of ambitions for automatic promotion, i would say the numbers speak for themselves,

as for when he said we have a competitive budget i was still listening, however we are yet to see it..
 
We actually don't know who cares and who doesn't care, who has ambition, who gives a shit SAFC's PR department are shocking!!!!
