League Two Budgets

Of course it is becoming a tad boring to hear Chris Beech constantly referring to the comparison of our budget with the budgets of other clubs. We do not like being told that the club is financially weak in comparison to other clubs and we wish to ignore this plain stark fact.

Thus we state that a strong budget does not necessarily produce a strong team and a weak budget does not necessarily produce a weak team. We then mention that in League Two Notts County had a big budget and Accrington Stanley had a small budget.

But this is a classic case of a very poor argument. It is taking extreme cases and implying that they are the norm. In the overwhelming majority of cases there is a direct relationship between finance and success.

1921 is severely inhibited by the fact that none of the best companies in Cumbria will provide any sponsorship / advertising revenue or any other kind of support whilst the Holdings board consists of the present incumbents. This was the case before covid and will remain so after covid.

There are people who, in the post-covid era, will be of sufficient financial and ethical standing to own the club. Such people are not naive. But even then they can do nothing until this Holdings board collapses. It would be somewhat bad mannered to indicate exactly what would cause that.

The club will only get new ownership when both the debts to Purepay and Pioneer have been annulled. That will only occur after the current board's ownership has ceased.

Notts had the biggest budget and spent the most and arguably had the best squad the last time that we was in League Two but still got relegated,this was due to our owner who knew nothing about football apart from what he spouted to his mates from the stands,to make matters worst he is a megalomaniac who refused to listen to experts and constantly stuck his nose into who should play etc,the worst thing that he did (apart from buy the club) was to take a swipe at Forest,this is acceptable when you are in the stands or in the pub with your mates as they are our biggest and closest rivals but when they loan you their up and coming talent that can't get a first team selection in the Championship but are good enough for League Two then it's stupid to have a pop at them publicly, they withdrew their loanees and promptly give the best one to Mansfield out of spite and I don't blame them,never let a fan buy a club is my advice

Quite, if a fan buys a club the s­hit will hit the fan.
