It is, as ever, but there's nothing in that article that means its more so. If he thinks £2m is a big budget in the Championship, then I don't think we have much to fear.

He is a complete nobber. They are an overachieving club at the moment, and will probably be midtable next year. Although saying that, Gary Johnson is IMO a very good appointment as manager.

I dont think it will be that tough.Southampton will be good,but take out one, possibly 2 of Millwall & Leeds and i cant see a lot too worry about.You are still going to have all the Yeovil's,Bristol Rovers,Walsall's etc etc who will just be average again.
Either palace or sheff wed will be right up the top, plus the 3 teams who wont go up from the play offs you would expect to all be strong, soton will also be up there, that leaves one play off spot that isn't immediately obvious. I think MK will be average again, leeds could well sell and not replace, swindon have a couple of key players out of contract,I think colchester will do well again.
Notts County, Rochdale, etc.
County will struggle as they need to get rid of all of their big names, I expect Rochdale to struggle, if Bournmouth come up with an embargo they will definately struggle.

Sheffield Wednesday and Crystal Palace have no money. The other clubs coming down Plymouth and Peterborough and all the promoted teams will not worry us and the usual League 1 also runs will not have the stamina or the players to stop us from place number 2 behind Southampton.
Norwich and two from Millwall, Leeds, Charlton and Huddersfield will go up this year.

So no one is worried...
But a lot of people were not worried the last couple of years and look where we are. That mentality is the exact reason why we are where we are.
It says in the article that he will spend whatever it takes to win the league. And 2M on transfer fees in the Championship is a fairly decent budget (if that's transfer fees rather than wages, which it sounds as though it is).

No - he'll spend what HE THINKS it will take to win the league...
And he will underestimate it, then sack Johnson when they're not in the top 6 by Christmas.

Wasn't Norwich supposed to be broke too? Look how well that turned out. Frankly, we can earmark a top-two slot to Wednesday or Palace right now just based on recent histories. And Southampton, if they don't actually catch up and make it in this year.

Crystal palace may challenge next year
but to be honest we can compete with anyone in this league so no concerns.

Not after Neil Warmcock has lured away 5 or 6 players.

The day we seriously worry about Peterborough is a sad day for Brighton and Hove Albion.
Maybe in the middle of the Withdean years, or during excile in Kent. Not now with Mr Bloom on board and Falmer springing up.

I do not believe there is any chance we will be near the top 2 next year. We need a lot of investment and it will take a while to get through the dreaded "gelling" period. A playoff push is the absolute best I expect next year but in reality I think we'll be the upper side of mid table.
I am not going to make the mistake I did last season and expect a huge improvement
