Yoda8 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Everyone always talks budgets, not big enough , too big, smaller or bigger than ours/yours. We all like to think we have a clue because of a rumour this players on this or that, but does anyone have the foggiest idea of what their clubs playing budget is for the season? And more importantly is the budget really that important? Queens Park seem to be doing not too bad without one that's if them only paying expenses is true. Does budget equal success? Livingston & Dunfermline proved it last year although the year before they were nowhere. Stenny are known to have smallest and are propping up the table. What does everyone think it costs to run their clubs playing budget & is your league position a true reflection of said budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I thought it would be around 320/350 thats a big gamble that appears to have worked but what state would club be in if it had failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueone Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Supposedly our budget is higher than average because of our geographical position and we have to attract players from further away and therefore pay more in wages and expenses. Lets not bother playing any games and just have tables based entirely on budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how much of a role cash has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, it was a huge gamble just simply staying full time, it still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoobahabba Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 No as I said propping up can mean to move up the table. It can't. In the context of football it always means to sit at the bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
