    We shall see when the accounts come out,I think you’ll be shocked how much more this season budget is compared to last.

    Interested on how you can make this assumption? What information do you have, or is it purely down to conjecture?

    The playing budget or the clubs overall budget?

    I mean, I'm loving the roof but being slightly old fashioned I'd rather we had a centre forward.

    He said that he’d rested him because he’s just played two games in quick succession after being only involved in non league games, which are obviously lower intensity. Apologies if this has already been answered earlier in the thread.

    But you're readily happy to accept it's been increased without question?

    I think the general idea is to mix it up during the game to keep the opponent guessing.

    Basically I am just interested in how people know it has been increased/decreased. Anyone any inside knowledge as to the figures, rather than mere speculation?

    I think there’s a lot of speculating going on dressed up as “fact……”

    Was a mistake letting Oliver go as he did offer a different option and only cost a few months wages that we paid him off anyway

    In the summer it was nowhere near. Player departures vs player arrivals - an idiot could work that out. It may have levelled off after the winter business but again its all self sufficient without any real investment. Player sales have helped.

    I hope you and @Sergio Pinto III@Sergio Pinto III listened to David Sharp at the Radio Leeds forum last night when it was confirmed that the budget had gone up substantially.

    . I take it you didn’t listen to the Forum on Radio Leeds when David Sharp said the budget had gone up massively.Let’s compare this season’s player budget with last seasons,the accounts come out in March and this seasons come out next March. No doubt you won’t believe him anyway as you are set in your ways.

    It’s because people are set in their ways @shoatsy@shoatsy and no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince them.

    I take it you didnt read my previous post properley....in the summer, no chance it did. A view shared by many. Increasing the budget and utilising said budget are different things.

    PS thats 2 posts already directed at me about the same subject this morning. You are coming across as unhinged.

    I think it’s time you and I stopped communicating as you are just resorting to petty insults. Goodbye.

    100% they will find fault with this, not believe it and call you a happy clapper for listening to what they say.

    Thanks but I can’t get Radio Leeds where I am. Not sure what ‘substantially’ actually is, a fairly nebulous term. As you say, when the accounts are released, if detailed they may clarify the situation. A comparison can then be drawn, with the previous season, which should have some substance rather speculation by members of Bantam Talk, or sound bites by David Sharp. The devil is in the detail. Is the increase based on using revenue generated, as the mantra has been self sufficiency.
