@Niall_Judge26: Think that’s the most depressing piece you’ve done yet, we really do have a mid table budget.
If Cowleys get us in the play offs this season it would be some achievement.
@jordy_drapes: I assume our budget is no longer amongst the ‘top six’?

Hide AdIf so what changed between the beginning of the window to now?
Lots of use of the word ‘competitive’ a month ago but the expectation now seems mid-table.
Barrie Jenkins: When you have a ball and chain around your neck it’s virtually impossible to swim. I fear it’s going to be a tough few years.
@morris316: Mid table this season at best, few injuries and we could easily be in the bottom half.

@AntCoombes80: Are we just going through the motions this season?
Saving the money in the hope that the big spenders go up, putting us in a better position in 10 months?
@PompeyG90: That sounds pretty depressing.. they have been tasked to rebuild a squad with potentially no transfer kitty.

Anthony Knight: Strap yourselves in people, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride..mid table this season would be an achievement…PUP.
@ben12389: Bottom half of the table then it will be. Let’s hope not fighting relegation as i’m sure the Eisners won’t hang around long after that if that happens.
@andybastable: What an utterly depressing situation. Time for everyone to be honest about our ambitions for this season.
@mikepfcwhite363: Ouchh, that’s not the competitive budget that Danny said end of the season! Now I understand it, competitive budget for remaining in league 1.
