If our owners aren't wealthy enough for us to have a top-six budget in L2, we'll be stuck at this level for quite a while, even if they are smart with the funds they have.
Its unrealistic because we are a club that runs at a loss.Anything else around this is down to the generosity of the owners and what they are prepared to plough into the club. If they feel a top 10 budget is what they are going to fund then who is anyone to argue with that.? You might not like it but that's your prerogative. Why don't you take over the club and give us a top 6 budget.? Maybe you know some cash rich investors who would plough money into the club that would guarantee the highest budget in the division.
Like I said it's great just picking a number out of thin air and demand a top budget of any kind.Whatever other clubs choose to do has nothing to do with us.
