Source for that Bailey fee? well if we've paid anymore than 50k then we've been scammed. We've already been over this because at the time there was rumoures on here and twitter that we paid 6 figures for him. So you've made that figure up? If so, it would be better to not state things as fact unless they're fact; you've done it several times in the last few days.

no idea but I don't think we will go spending over 500k on a DM (Lincoln paid over 300k and he's only gotten better since joining them) This season we've spent less than 50k on Bailey and that's all we paid a transfer fee for. At most I reckon if we are to go spend money on transfer fees then we will spend 500k in total Source for that Bailey fee? There isn't one, it's just made up.

Just our of curiosity how much do people think we paid for Bailey then?
I wouldn't class what I said as insulting to him. He didn't want to be at Salford and he had 6 months left of his contract. He's not someone who's going to cost alot of money especially as he'd scored 0 goals in 22 games at Salford last season playing as a RW. Teams at league 2 don't spend much money on transfer fees and that's even evident by the money we've spent on transfer fees.

A guess. So to state it as a fact to try and prove a point about something else would be daft

Whatever we paid it was less than we got for Lewis so we did well out of the deal. Despite the fact you don’t rate Bailey he was a key player for us last season (and has been showing some good form again in the last few weeks of the season) and will be next season.

DC has already said he expects the budget to be bottom half. Not sure it be that low but certainly in the mid range, he did say we will work in a different way to previous though where the first two promotions were to get done as quickly as possible, expect a more sustainable buy and sell model and in few years develop our own players Don't think Stocky is right when says want Championship as soon as possible the first massive hurdle was escaping NL, the L2 promotion was never going to take us long, now everyone including club knows this be much more difficult, get stand built soon as and get infrastructure ready for championship football but year on year improvement will be order of day no reason can't challenge top half or playoffs but Stott is sensible don't think there be the air of expectancy next year that there was this We're also starting in league one from a strong position with a good squad which won't need a lot of additions, I think the term used by Simon Wilson was we front loaded at the start and then as you say we'd see a much more sustainable approach.

You can't just throw that out there now after you've plucked a figure from the air. Just admit you don't know.

So please don't try and pass it off as fact when you don't know. Nothing wrong with speculating, but make it clear that you don't know and it's just a guess.

Absolutely no idea but I'd guess somewhere between £1000 and £1million, to suggest he's not worth more than £50k is insulting in my opinion, from pure gueswork on my part it appears that both clubs did right by the player, they let him go where he wanted to go and didn't try to play us off against anyone else and we paid an accptable fee.

I've said elsewhere that I think the squad as it stands is good enough for playoffs at least in L1. So I don't think we need to go daft; a couple of decent signings could see us right up there.
And I'm pretty sure the powers that be won't be thinking of a few years of consolidation simply because we're ahead of the seven year Championship target. You take your chances when you get them, and I've always thought there's a good chance of challenging again when you piss the league below.
I've said before, look what we did when we got out of this league under DB. We "only" finished 2nd, and were a result off finishing 5th. Yet for the following 3 seasons we were far from only consolidating - we challenged in each year. And whilst Elwood did authorise spending, it was nowhere near the level we're doing it now.
No matter what they might say in terms of expectation management, I don't believe for one minute we're setting up for consolidation next year.

No matter what they might say in terms of expectation management, I don't believe for one minute we're setting up for consolidation next year. League One was a very different division. We had the likes on pne and Burnley who were getting 7-8k as opposed to our 4-5k. We're competing with the likes of Bolton, Barnsley, sheff wed who as a result of their good gates will start off way ahead on budgets. Unlike 96/97 when Bury got up with us we're going to have to be punching well above our weight to go up automatically. To really compete we'll need ground improvements to drive those revenues making us more competitive.
