    I really wonder how much getting relegated will affect us? A year would probably be OK, but more than that would probably set us further back financially. Ps. I`m not saying we are going down!!

    Well thank you Stainrod.
    That has given me a lot of hope.
    I never understood the way it works obviously.
    I get now why you and others seem confident there is a path.

    Ah ok thanks Stainrod.
    So our budget gets set to zero, if you like, probably not the best way to describe it.
    Then when we have complied with being inside the parameters, we sell a player, and that gives us more scope to pay more, and spend more?
    Because as a club we have made above the ffp bracket we are in?

    That's right - the only person involved in signing players at clubs is the manager!

    Not criticising Ollie just putting in perspective that he had a bit more wiggle room regarding spending than Warbs has had so far . Ollie also signed Freeman which didn’t turn out to bad did it .

    the clubs been under ffp death knell for a while honestly I think there’s three worse clubs in ccc this season and we should be ok at some point the directors need to show some intent to progress that includes warren farm stadium etc by either pulling a plug and having to leave the area as Hoos states lr ain’t big enough or sustainable and we have to sign a cf that we own in july
    Agree totally, can't continue in this model

    And we have to be there to stay inside the ffp rules.
    So imo to talk about ambition, without defining that ambition is disingenuous.
    Ambition to me and probably 90% of football fans is to win something.
    Be it a trophy or promotion.
    Aims are to stay in the respective division.
    Just to add for us to abide by the ffp, we will have to have that small budget, so any promotion is way beyond us.
    This is my major gripe with ffp it creates an unfair unbalanced competition.

Hopefully we will stay up and still have all our exciting valuable young players still at the club .This summer I expect a bit of light at the end of the tunnel to move the club forward.Obviously a new training ground and stadium would help in that respect providing extra finance .

    So what then hoof it up field just for an opponent defender to win and give them possession?

    Wells rumoured to have been on 45k a week at Burnley with us paying half, God knows what brizzle are paying him, now the dust has settled I'm glad the club are appearing to repair the financial mess of the last 9 years and attempt to live within their means.

    What I am not happy about is the playing back from halfway line then back to keeper, we aren't even good at it so why bother?
    Sort it out rangers.

    Unless of course the ambition is to stay out of trouble.
    Which has not been secured yet.
    I'm in full support of Mark, I think he's managed to pull off an amazing first half to the season under the restraints.
