A word on Brighton's "Budget"

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

Feel free to shoot me down, I can take it

But I keep reading on here about our budget or lack of it. Budget is a very misleading term in this case.

Our budget may be mid tableish in the division. Our spending power is not.

Wolves, Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Blackpool all have huge budgets compared to us, backed by parachute payments. It hasn't done them much good has it?

Any decent premiership class player that gets relegated, will move to another premiership team, leaving the average players behind in the championship on their premiership wages. These players demand huge wages which is why those teams that come down, in general struggle to sign players. West Ham went for broke and got lucky. Others have struggled. Look at Birmingham, Zigic is still on a contract worth north of 50k a week. O'Hara at Wolves rumoured to be on 30k a week.

As I say, shoot me down if you want, but our top earner is on around 12k. Last season we had a CMS, Vicente, Bridcutt, Kuscaczak and still had a lot of change out of what Birmingham pay Zigic.

So whilst out "budget" is far less than those, our spending power isn't.

I expect Wigan, Reading and QPR to struggle next season as well.

So please stop attacking/defending Bloom, Barber, or Poyet on size of budget. Its a very misleading phrase.

Hello Mr Angry. Don't recall where I said I did. Merely the term is misleading. What I fairly sure of is what the top earner gets.

I don't think anyone has attacked Tony Bloom regarding budgets on here.

Apart from Gus obviously

Why is the word budget in quotations?

Is it a euphemism for something else?

Yes. Spending power

From now on it's all about the Financial Fair Play regulations which is why the budget has been tightly controlled. Gus appeared not to agree with working within these parameters. A lot of clubs who don't adhere are going to come unstuck in the next couple of years.

I was talking about this season. Off course Wolves have to cut their budget. They are in the third tier of English football. Maybe they have to cut it next season, because they lose parachute payments as they are now longer in the championship??

If our budget was more than a relegated premiership club who receive parachute payments, then how could Gus complained about it all the time?

And with our gates being 2000 higher than anyone in the division (they three down and three up are hardly going to challenge that fact) and with new sponsorship deals starting, I would suggest with FFP we should have one of the most competetive budgets in the championship. I generally cannot wait for next season to start.

They don't lose the parachute payments it is called Financial Fair Play, you are totally clueless

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

So you keep saying. But if you are going to call me clueless, bear in mind in Wolves case it has nothing to do with Financial fair play. If you are going to call other posters clueless, at least know what you are talking about, before throwing **** around that they may not.

Makes you look a bit of a tit otherwise.

Championship operate Financial Fair Play.

League One, where Wolves are, I believe operate Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP)...... wanna join the clueless club?

What? Three of wolves players who played against us earn 100k a week between them.

League 1 has had fpp for three years as per our very own FD.

Not sure where you got this information from, but I can assure you that our top earner is on a lot more than that !.

Utter gash from the OP. No one has a clue what our budget Is except TB. I can guarantee he hasn't bought a stadium for 128m to let us languish in the lower leagues. Our squad should have got auto promotion this season. We are 3 players short.
