Really? it won’t be far off, we were losing £0.5m per month.
Maybe the investment will come from the land sales

At least half of the incomings I would have thought, unless you think it has all been spent on new contracts and the signings we have made to date.
How much do you think remains?
It might be worth reminding some folk that Mr. Hemmings is pretty much a billionaire. We brought in huge transfer fees last season. How can it be unreasonable to expect our wage structure to increase to support the manager who got us 7th last season?

Lowthorpe Road - next Saturday - count me in,
Board Out!
Board Out!
Well JK
I too would suggest it's not unreasonable to suggest some more of that money received should be put at the Managers disposal
However it maybe
It should be remembered that that most of that money is probably not in the Club Funds or Uncle Trevor’s either yet.
Transfers these days are in instalments and if you spend it before it arrives (and it never does) where are you then
Second point. I don’t particularly want to defend him but all that money (near a billionaire you said) will be tied up in property and other things, not easily disposed of if unless you want to take a big loss
Perhaps also he is not as confident it will be used wisely, we don’t really know if he had any input in the last two batches of signings.
Were they Riddlers signings and how much input did Neil have too?
What my 'gripe' would be is why keep building our hopes up if division 1 is now all he can really afford

Already quote of the season! Hear hear!
Last year the losses were less than 3 million, people keep quoting 6 million. That's without the sales of Hugill and Cunningham. Lets not be foolish enough to think that a man with TH business sense has not got some tremendous accountants and that most of those losses are year after year offset against tax.
As I've said before, TH wants shut of North End, I see that happening within the next 12 months. Lets hope we have not sold the rest of the crown jewels before that happens.
Those who keep banging on about the housing land, trust me, he has sold the majority of it, but it has nothing to do with North End.

Like with the O's Being rich in property, doesn't make u rich in ready cash. He's been bailing us out for years. Whilst many complain about clubs taking a risk, even on another thread about the 2 year gamble. You have to remember, we maybe in the same boat. We got Nmecha and Barker on Loan, they not coming here on the cheap. We have to face facts, we are not a cash rich club and every now and again the sale of a player is needed to balance the books. Reality is crap, but thats life.

Looking forward with excitement to Ben Pearson being on his way in January, in that case. 🙁

There has to be a question mark about AN's ability to spot suitable attacking and or midfield players. He must have been given a lot of money when Norwich went up and pretty much blew it. Grayson proved he could spot talent, so giving him money would look better for an invester.
AN lived off the back of Graysons players last season , quite a lot of the ones he's bringing in are starting to look suspect. Of course he can deflect it by saying he hasn't had the money , well he has had some and although one or two signings look OK some of the others look very dubious ,though only time will tell how good his aquisitions have been.

Not sure where you have been but Neil is working on a league 1 budget. He's earmarked players and the owner has failed to provine.

And Nmecha is on?
That IS the realty I'm afraid raefil
Personally I think the Manager is getting a ‘free ride‘ by not getting criticism of the signings made since he came
I assume (not I think unreasonably) he knew the budget when he came and must certainly have known it this season.
If he disagreed with the choices made he should have made his views quite clear (after where we finished last season) he was in a good position to do so. If he had walked he would be in another job now and we would definitely have known the score
Also he should have insisted he had the say on how that budget was spent, not 'riddler' or indeed Uncle Trevor. He is the professional after all
I doubt very much Uncle Trevor would have stood in his way as long as he kept to the budget, but he would have had something to say if the choices had been bad, as he has done in the past
That’s the risk of being a football Manager rather than just a Coach

AN new the script when he came here. So far he's not used his buget (low level championship budget not league 1,imo) very well.

But the question I have is who is viewing and buying the players Ridsdale or Neil?

Below League 2?! Absolutely no chance. We wouldn't be in the Championship but I'm sure we would have at least matched the likes of Rochdale, Wimbledon and Plymouth and managed to maintain at least League 1 status.
