Fourth Largest Budget Thread.

Maybe it was a miss print maybe we have the 4th largest budgie

I can't get the link to work but Tony Stewart first mentioned the 4th largest budget in an article by Paul Davis in the Star on 8th February 2017 when we were freewheeling towards relegation.
Look it up.

So the 4th largest budget thing is a bit of hearsay from Radio Sheffield presenters or possibly something from an Advertiser interview?

Anyone got any links? When was the Advertiser interview?

I live rather a long way from Rotherham and find it hard to pick up on all the news, but I have to say that this has the feel of a legend that has built up amongst supporters. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I go back to my second question, how could he know? Do all the chairmen have a ring round at the start of the season?

It’ll be November at least before the accounts for Rotherham’s last season are published.

How about you do your own homework and find a link.

�� TS did mention top 4/5 budget with his own mouth , how's he know that ? Maybe you need to ask him

Top 4 or 5 budget doesn't guarantee you a top 4 or5 finish.

.......and even less so if you don't spend it 😀

And let's not forget Tony Stewart's "shopping at Harrods" quote

However most of these comments are made as season tickets go on sale and magically dry up when the season starts

Correct Yak, sometimes it's not how good the players are but how they're used

there you go millertop. always happy to help

Stewart, who financed the club’s two-year rise from League Two to the second tier, says money would be in place for an immediate promotion push. “I’d be confident because the budget has never been low in League One,” the owner, who refuses to give up on an unlikely survival mission this term, told The Star. “We were in there for one season and we’d got one of the top four budgets. We would have a quality of team capable of doing well in League One. I’d be disappointed if that wasn’t the case. The budget next season in League One would be one of the top four again.

Let's have this meeting please so constructive questions may be asked.

The season as barely started and the evidence of a 25% win rate doesn't bode well.

We have a chairman who boasts we have the fourth largest budget for league 1 but, with the pre season recruitment I can't see where it's been spent.

plus 800K from the sale of Ward that Tony said warne could have,I've said it before Peterborough pay 450k for a C/F who excites the fans we pay 75k for a C/F who at best will be no more than a lge1 player.We seem to be happy to plod along & hope something happens.
