    When and how was this confirmed?

    It may have come from the bit at the fans forum where Burchnall said something along the lines of "Chesterfield made Calvin Miller and offer which was way above what we could offer him". If we can't compete with the big spenders in this league, 'relatively skint' might not be too far from the truth in the sense that we have money, but nowhere near as much as them.

    Reedtz Bros must have SOME money, Eli? How much do Notts lose every year? A mill, a mill and a half? You could easily argue that we're just being sensible rather than actually being skint. Will sensible get us promo tho? Who knows.

    Now is the time to stick a few quid on a Forest win at 15/2.

    If it happens, you will still be the prophet of doom, but also the prophet of profit.

    Looking good for that at the moment eLite! Although I am not sure how much more of the doom mongering I can take. Forest winning and him whinging are not good for the mind you know.

    I'd say it's looking bad. My 888Sport account looks like gaining £37.50, but I would much prefer it to have lost a fiver.

    I should have made it clearer, but my post was just an attempt at interpreting UTM's "relatively skint" comment rather than my own opinion, and I could well be way off the mark. I get what he might be saying however, but I would probably have said "it seems that we're struggling to compete with the big spenders". That could be a good thing, because we all know that spending cash you haven't got often leads to big trouble.
