We had a thread on here recently involving someone who appeared close to the Notts hierarchy and knew a lot of inside info on the financial goings-on.....basically saying that BigAl cannot keep hurling cash at Notts (a) because his hands were tied to a certain extent with inter-company loans and (b) it wasn't exactly in the long-term health of Notts to be incurring mounting loans at 4% interest.

Since then, we have tumbled to the bottom of the league, recovered slightly but are, IMO, stumbling towards a "mehhhh" season and a bottom-half finish....our back 4 has imploded and has meant that we have raced out and grabbed even more players, without shedding any off the books....our wage bill must be horrendous!!
We have two 20-goal strikers (they ain't cheap) plus Enzio on the books, plus the likes of Duffers, Jones, Bird, Hall?, Hawkridge, Brisley....all still need paying without even looking like getting a game any time soon.

What if, and it's a big "IF".....Firstly - BigAl is already getting peed off with the situation (he's hardly a shrinking violet about letting everyone know his feelings ie twitter?) and that has communicated itself to the manager and players, which is translating itself to performances on the pitch?.....and secondly - he really is starting to struggle with paying a huge wage bill by L2 standards....with no promo in sight, certainly not this season?

Basically, I'm struggling to understand the Bury performance and I'm starting to wonder if there are problems behind the scenes that are the cause.
