Quoted from Mappers

Appreciate your thoughts Trickey always an interesting perspective  , the problem is they always make me fear - is Artell the right fit for us  ?

Our wage budget was/is far higher than that 1.8million though and that is pretty much on record now , it was at least 1 million up on that last season and now a 22% increase which will be well over 3 million . I do feel Crewe is an unfair comparison as I'm sure a hefty piece of the pot is loaded into the youth set-up which Im sure gave Artell the ' I was manager of the year , with the lowest budget in league 2' line although he probably failed to mention he had a bespoke youth setup with high quality players coming out all over the place .

He has not got that here

Hopefully Alex make it up

5m not 3m for 23/24 do the maths

That was all staff mate

I would say going off other clubs 1/3 is none playing  staff (we have a lot now)

4 million 22/23

Increase of 22%

4.8 million 23/24 ÷ 3 = 1.6 Mil

Around 3.2 million playing budget give or take

Cack ! Its not brilliant i grant you  but Cack ! Haaaaàhhaaaaa

4 new stands( 1 currently being upgraded for community useage) ,17 boxes , a superb 3G ,facility and a fantastic pitch to play football on.


Cack,yeah spot on !!! Hahahaha

Quoted from David Frazer

Oh dear it doesent sound to good does it ! If only Fenty had taken up the grants available to rebuild ,but never mind you were all happy he kept you in budget/small profit each year,but the reality is he left you with a rotten,cesspit of a ground which is barely fit for purpose and noose round your necks for future progress !

Good luck for saturday versus plastic green rovers!

U T I

Can I just ask you a serious question as I cant quite understand your logic and mentality?

Do you have that much of a boring life that you go onto another clubs message board and just spout absolute boll0cks or has your mum stopped giving you ‘bitty’. I am actually presuming that you are some sad teenager that has no mates and actually pays for pornhub.

Just remember, an  all inclusive holiday doesn't mean your sister too

You do beat us on one thing ,we dont have Scotch Eggs in our fan zone.

It looks like a village near Lincoln is missing their idiot.

Why are you not on that Lincoln Vital thing , some of them think our owners have just 'put 3 million quid in this season'.

They seem more up your street , wishing us to go down or whatever .

Whereas the truth is we turned a profit for one more season than most clubs and the board are willing to write off the 3 miilion pound shortfall /keeping that relic operational over 3 seasons , whereas you have some yanks who are propping you up to the tune of 2 - 3 million season in season out and probably will for the short to medium term .

It’a a Friday night you absolute loser.

Yes you are dead right.  There is a section of Crewe fans that would rather spend the money on signings but the money would then be thrown away. Whereas, the academy is an investment with a return- eventually.  However, the big boys changing rules means that the £2M fees are now £500,000. So that adds weight to the anti academy argument.
But there has been 2 games where all 11 players were Academy graduates - not lately though.
Artell should not be claiming any credit for the youth setup.  It has nothing to do with the Manager.  There is a decades long system that runs itself.  He never built the team that was promoted and failed in efforts to strengthen when we were relegated.
He could be good for Town but he would need time to copy such a system and we dont know if he can.
Do you think that your owners have considered this and all the other issues raised on here before making the appointmant?
