Just heard this on radio Sussex from Gus himself......reality or just a cunning ploy to stop target prices being hiked up to much ?
5th then!thats what I thought , he wasn't too convincing. He also said we would stay between 5th and 10th in terms of budgets in league 1....
I am not really sure we are "minted"
Ok, Bloom has financed the stadium, however the club still has to try and stay afloat when we are losing money at Withdean. I seem to recall Perry stating that the break even figure crowd wise at Withdean was 6,000 and that was long before we let the kids in at £130 or what ever their ST costs.
So assuming we are losing money and the directors are having to finance it ( or we are in Portsmouth's situation) then I would have thought the only way we can afford new players will be to see the ones we have that we don't want and spend that money.
I think people tend to get carried away with Bloom's wealth and his inclination to spunk it on the team.
I think the point is that it's 10% of what exactly!!!! An attempt to play down expectation of fans and convince other clubs that we may negotiate with that we don't have a massive budget. The point really is look at what Gus has done with a squad that is not really his. We will be play off's next season me thinks.
5th in the division sounds about right when there are the likes of southampton, mk dons etc.
I thought MK dons budget was minuscule hence the reason Ince left ?
Agreed. Don't forget we did actually spend a fair whack last season with Bennett, Dickinson, Tunnicliffe etc
