If I was the owner I'd still stick to the budget. If I was the CEO I'd have popped the budget into a suitcase and done a bunk by now.

True. It was the management, but it was management that was affordable on the budget if you get my drift. All things considered the money last season was enough to obtain the staff to get us up. I think we're broadly in agreement though.

If you are asking me in a 'you are the manager' style then I'd personally stick within the annual budget and only bring in replacements and/or spend any surplus from sales or outgoing players. I much prefer this approach to the supermarket-sweep approach of other clubs.

I guess it depends how you look at it. The funds available last season were clearly enough in my opinion. It was not the budget which got in the way. As it turned out a win on the opening day would have got us automatically promoted. Not letting in a number of those last minute goals we conceded...

If only you could pick and choose in this way. I personally think the club are going about things the right way i.e. providing a budget capable of getting a club promoted and then working within the budget. The rest comes down to good decision making and good fortune.
