    A journalist on talksport who is very close to Millwall says that he knows for a fact they have the third smallest budget in the division.

    Last time I checked they weren't third bottom. Their manager is talking about establishing the club in the top ten.

    2 home wins out of the 10 games at Oakwell this season is an indication of just why attendances are dwindling.

    He just said budget so I took that to mean wage bill.

    This is where Im at

    the squad arranged through the summer wasnt anywhere near good enough for the Championship, despite a few solid performances and 1-nil wins, it was obvious without Davies we would struggle. Irrespective of the spin coming out of the club, that was budgetary enforced and in the last week or so Hill has been allowed to recruit without those constraints so we can only really judge him over the next few games. If we havent won a game by the end of December, I'd say he should be fired, until then, ppg and any personal crusades or dislikes should be ignored and dismissed.

    I presume we are among the 3 lowest budgets, yet last time I looked we weren't in the bottom 3.

    Anyway How the **** does anyone know. where do all the clubs post there budgets so that journalists can compare them. Is there some kind of list that all clubs must submit their yearly budgets to - or is the journo just talking ****** and your daft enough to believe him

    Mike Calvin of the Sunday Mirror. Have a look at his career and you will see he knows more about Millwall than any of us do about BFC.

    I just hope I'm not daft enough to belive his credentials.

    So what he knows what Millwalls budget is, Now please explain how he knows how that budget compares to every other Championship team in the division.

    He could have downloaded their accounts from companies house. They are there for anyone to view.

    Admittedly, they are not from the present season, but they give you a good idea what clubs are spending.

    I agree, but what was the increase in attendances when we had a good run and offered low price tickets.

    I can't accept that interpretation.

    We take short free kicks when there is an opportunity to move the centre backs up and play the ball into the area. This must be an instruction from the manager.

    I realise, that Keith was talking about crosses from open play, but we don't even get the ball in from set pieces.
