The truth of it is there will also be sycophants that'll defend the club no matter how they've acted. There is also a number who'll always criticize the club no matter how they've acted. Then there's the lot in the middle who try and be reasonable to both sides.

It's clever wording. Let's imagine the budget was £50pa. Gus had all £50 to spend. He spent it all. TB then increased the budget to £52.50, however £50 of the budget is already being taken up with Poyet signings. Therefore the budget has increased, but the amount available to spend has...

Yes I agree. If we're not spending the going rate then our only other option (if we want to be competitive) is smart recruitment. Let's hope whoever comes in has a little black book of Premiership standard players we can get on the cheap - As you say it's not impossible. Derby/Palace/Burnley...

Fair enough. He had way more than Oscar but seemingly not enough to keep him. OG wasn't provided with the funds he needed to compete, yet TB went public to say our budget was slightly increased (misleading even if true) and that he expected a top 6 finish. That's shoddy on TB's part as far as I...

So TB said the budget 'had slightly improved.' When he should have been praising OG for working with such limited funds. Not good Tony. Not good at all.

Fair play to Poyet. Despite having very limited funds he built a team that made the Championship playoffs - twice! They're all getting on a bit now and we don't have any money to replace them. The ceiling did exist. A midtable budget will give us a midtable team. We can't continually over achieve.
