He’s doing his usual ‘ We only got 18 players now “ and “ Nothing happening with players coming in” Pathetic. It obvious the board don’t fancy putting money into a bottomless pit .

It obvious the board don’t fancy putting money into a bottomless pit . I think that the Board may have looked at DF's last two Januarys and concluded that his acquisitions in those windows, ultimately, had no telling effect on the outcome of each season.Personally, I quite like their attitude. Essentially, it puts a rocket up DF's arse to deliver consolidation in L1 with what he's got.

I'd remain hopeful of us having a trick up our sleeve. He's not going to show all his cards in an interview is he?Striker is desperately needed. My patience with Alfie May is starting to wear thin. He's had the benefit of the doubt in his first year at the club but it's becoming all too frequent that he looks out of his depth.

You can’t base your future on your past.
It’s not budgets that gets results it getting players with ability and a willingness to go beyond there pay grade . We have not depth or resilience . We have players who fit the leagues demands but not much else.
We have a more than adequate budget to do well in this league. We have been told previously it is easily a top ten budget. The manager - whether Ferguson or whoever - needs to work to that decent budget and wring out more from his players, rather than seeking more cash. There are some senior players on good money but who are never going to play for us under the current manager (Cedric, Williams, Etheridge) and that money is wasted. It was not the decision of the Board to sign or hand out contracts to these players.
It seems to me that he had a budget but was promised money from the arsenal game, and now this hasn't materialised
