It could also be though that this is a 'creative' way for Sarb to funnel money into the club, although he doesn't get any glory for it (which I presume is part of his motivation). So maybe that means the Sarb sale might in fact be close and this is just a bit of upfront money while the final bits get done?
It is a strange situation. It's pleasing that there is now a set budget that isn't minuscule and it should be something for Derek to work with properly, although it's 'dressed up' a bit given that our previous L2 budgets weren't exactly much to shout about.
Also frustrating that this support didn't come much earlier, at the very least at the start of this month to enable us to offer some contracts (hopefully we may be able to claw one or two back). I think it's probably this ridiculous game of brinksmanship that Jason seems to be playing in order to force the move through that is the reason for this.

Although our recent League 2 budgets were fairly frugal I wonder if they mean its the biggest League 2 budget in our history even when you take into account the Sammy McIlroy era and 2010/2011 when we spent a lot of money including Tony Capaldi !

"A playing budget that will be the highest provided as a League Two Club in our history."
Yeah sounds like it will be higher than the McIlroy ones! Although saying that, that was over a decade ago - I think it's probably fairly reasonable to assume that what was a sizeable budget back in 2010 wouldn't necessarily be considered a particularly large budget these days.black morse wrote:Think you meant to say "wasted a lot of money including Tony Capaldi"
