For those that excuse our position with a supposed lack of finance...

did you hear Shaun O`Driscoll on Dee Dah? Saying it does not matter how much money you have or how much the players earn - it matters what they do on th epitch. Very good point - BFC take note...

 

The lack of finance argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny anyway.

Dungcaster have spent far less than us, as have Blackpool. I shouldn't imagine that Plymouth can match our outlay either (although I haven't checked.) Relative to several teams in this division, and in comparison to what a Barnsley manager can expect, Davey's had a pretty generous budget. I also wonder how much scrutiny the manager's been placed under after wasting oodles on players whom were quickly bombed out - Mostto, Christensen, Rajczi, Ferenczi.

Forest spunked £2.7million on a single player and have only accrued as many points as Barnsley, having played a game more, so it just goes to show that money isn't everything. The most important person at a football club, by a distance, is the manager. If he's good then you don't have to spend astronomical amounts because he'll cause the team to punch above its weight. If he's ***** then he'll take a competent squad and have it outside the relegation zone on goal difference with two of the top four left to play.

 

thing is, that 2.7m they splashed on Earnshaw could save them from the drop and earn them 5m+
