Perhaps worst case scenario but also perhaps showing he’s a realist. I have zero expectations for the next few years. I feel better about the current state of affairs now that I acknowledge that. I’m a rams fan for the long haul, through thick and through thin. Let the well paid professionals at the club get on with it . There’s zilch I can do about it. I’ll celebrate the goals, the wins and the good performances. I’ll not get down about the defeats, the poor performances or the ins and out of any players. I’ll enjoy the banter. Life is too short to worry about things I can’t change or where I can’t make a difference.

He sets the budget he doesn’t decide how to use the budget.

May Contain Nuts Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) When the chairman says it's his opinion that the budget is good enough to get us out of the league, it's hardly going to be a mid table budget, is it? I think you can make an educated guess that it will be within the top 6, logically there's little reason to believe that 6 other teams have a bigger one.

EnigmaRam Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Isn’t it the first season Clowes has set a budget for a football club. It could be bloody anything 🤷♂️🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 21 hours ago, Andicis said: Unless you know more than me, how do you know he didn't prioritise that? It is likely just a very difficult position to fill given our circumstances. But hey, blame Warne in the absence of any evidence. Let’s be honest, I don’t know more than most of us. It’s purely my frustrated view. As I said, it was obvious from last season that we needed to bring in defenders to fit the system if we wanted to play 3/5 at the back. We also needed something more up front, with loanees leaving. Warne prioritised the defence, as he got those in first. If the club are unable to spend much, as even Warne has intimated in recent reports, they spent the bulk on defensive reinforcements. That suggests priority, at least in my eyes. Good win today, helped by a steadier defence. I’m less frustrated now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pleased with the result but felt we gave them too many chances first half. He praised Collins and didn't go overboard with the result.

Top 6, agreed, not "bigger than our rivals" as Clowes has been falsely claimed to have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good enough to get us out of the league. Now whether it does or not, this is football nothing is guaranteed" Is it sizeable compared to other clubs in this league? "It is, yes" --- Nothing about rival clubs at all. sizeable /ˈsʌɪzəbl/ adjective fairly large.

Do you always have to focus in on the least relevant part of what somebody has posted? How on earth is it different? If you are going to argue, for argues sake, at least have a point. One would assume David Clowes isn't saying our budget is sizable when compared to Chesterfield, or Blyth Spartans. He is saying sizable compared to clubs in this division and if Clowes is saying this, whilst saying our budget is good enough to get us out of league 1, I very much doubt our budget would be comparable to say Fleetwood, Bristol Rovers, Cambridge...more akin to say Barnsley, Pompey, Bolton etc. Your point is moo.
