DD HAS PLENTY OF MONEY LEFT OVER IN THE BUDGET INCLUDING MONEY TO SPEND ON TRANSFERS. FACT.

IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO SPEND IT, THAT'S HIS CHOICE.

WELL IN MY OPINION DD WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER SERVED SPENDING A LITTLE BIT MORE PRE-SEASON, RATHER THAN SPENDING IT SORTING OUT THIS AVOIDABLE MESS.

Not really, our budget will of been the same as last year, and keates and westwood buggered off,bedeau left,so did pead too leaving some wage budget. The rest wont of had pay increases, so all he had to do was add a player or two. Money signed the players we have. At the moment, Mooney is the only improvement.

And i think we've now discovered why we got someone of Westons "calibre", he's actually turd.

Mr Touchy would have a little more money to spend if we had more success in cup competitions. This is our seventh cup tie under Mr T and so far we have won just once! Looks like he has 135 minutes to save his job.

Wasn't particularly blaming Bonser. Just pointing out the fact that the budget set by Bonser dictates what type of player we can sign. Whether it is realistic or not, there is a ceiling that is put on the amount available to spend. It's a fact of life.

Well I can't disagree with that but the budget is enough to compete in this league/competition, and we will.

If only you hadn't said this I'd have agreed.

Money's biggest failing has been his signings. Some have worked out OK, but most have not, and going into this season with Dobson and Sonner as the only recognised central midfielders in the squad was a huge mistake. I know we tried and failed to sign Frecklington, but surely there should have been some Plan B, especially given that posters on here were reporting it wasn't going to happen several weeks ago.
