    Has he? How do you know that? Where’s the evidence? It’s not on the pitch for certain.

    Clever use of words. It doesn't mean our budget is higher than all but 4 clubs in the league.

    Thankfully, we can resolve this, along with the commercial impact hes made via the fully published and transparent club accounts. Oh, no, we can't can we?

    I think the word you are looking for is mediocre. Something this club long longer accepts.

    Apparently.

    Sparks needs to do an Ashley Ward and Benito Carbone and make a self sacrifice to save the club.

    get on a plane to Germany, tell Rupp he’s fecked up…..again….. and ask for a senior figure to come in and look after football matters.

    of course, in doing so, he risks getting fired, but that’s the discussion that he needs to be having.

    forget reinventing the club crest and launching a fourth kit.

    Not sure but a pizza discount card is definitely needed for transfer business

    Maybe why they had to sell a couple in January.

    There's no way Rochdales average wage is higher than most in the division.

    It's interesting stuff at face value. But I'd like to understand more from Footy.com on the source of this data. For example, it doesn't even say which year the data relates to. Until the source is better understood, it would be misleading to draw too many conclusions.

    They have been in league one for a while probably paying slightly higher wages

    Or maybe a player chose Rochdale over us due to hearing all is not right here even though Dale fans are not happy with there ownership.

    If we are paying lower average wages than Rochdale then we might as well give up.

    They have taken in a lot more than they have laid out. Not sure we have been in competition with them for players

    You've all been suckered in with the thinking that if you pay the biggest wages, you get the best players and you get promoted.

    Good managers can
    teams promoted on average budgets and sometimes the best budget guarantees you nothing.

    What we pay players has no direct correlation to where we are in the league. That can only be done through a good manager, setting up well, using solid tactics and motivation.

    Rupp gave Adams a competitive budget. Adams wasted it. You put Rupps budget in the hands of the FGR coaching team or Micky Mellon and they would be in the same position.

    Being shite this season is Adams fault, mot Rupps
