The figures were an example. It could be £50k and £3k a week which works out cheaper than £4k a week over the 2 year period. The point I'm trying to make is that PB has had a decent budget to work with, but he's blown it. In fact, he's also tied us in to long term deals for some old players - if we drop this season, they'll take up the budget next season too and we risk dropping out of the league. Stick by him though, he won't make this mistake again in this transfer window.
Its not about whether PB stays or not I'm just pointing out the difficulties that any manger would have at our club if only promotion to the Championship is deemed a success.
If you look at L1 at the moment its just like the PL. The 5 clubs with the biggest budgets are in the top 6 and the next 5 are in the top 11. Even with the worst season in 20 years , clueless Brown in charge and players who are stealing one last pay day we are about 4 points below our budget....Had we scored our penalties we would be above it.
Sorry to p*** on everyone's bonfire but the football world has moved on financially in leaps and bounds since the Dave Webb days. The season in the Championship under Tilson must of taught you something and we have gone backwards compared to others since then.
