Budget really controlled by a big extent by how many paying customers we have we are bottom of the table by some way on average attendance so whoever decides the rest will always be limited by budget,s here.

So nothing to do with renovations or has that money just appeared out of the ether ?
Don't want to go down the same old path again but for the record I don't think as a club we've got the balance right between the product on the pitch and off the pitch.

All perfectly true my friend.
But the question posed by Valairian was that 'something is fundamentally wrong?
Of course we're limited by the budget available, but it doesn't alter the fact that a lack of player quality is the main reason we will always struggle to compete with most teams at this level.
We're punching well above our weight just to survive in this division.

Renovation,s are completely separate from playing budget and are in the main going to be a one off that when finished will hopefully benefit the community for the foreseeable, the football is what it is you win some you lose some we won the Conference on a limited budget and league 2 it's been a great ride let's see were it ends.

Coley has swum the channel on numerous occasions and uncovered a few nuggets but inevitably it was going to catch up with him.

Whoaaaa.......hang on there a second ......All true BUT.....we are only 21 games in.....and mid-tableish with 27 points.......lets not write us off quite yet! .....There's still plenty of points to play for.......the January window to come.......and still at least half a dozen teams I wouldn't swap either manager with or squads.........facilities improving all the time.......that's down to Holty........but don't give up on Coley yet. I may not always agree with him, but I'll back him all the way.........AND Holty will support him....cos he's a Stanley fan deep down. I've no doubt about that........

The stats say we are a mid table side injuries haven't helped and also to me a couple of seniors are at the end of their best and it's starting to show good window and players back and these seniors can take a well deserved back seat.

and would we be talking about the whole subject anyway if the two headers had gone in. its less than a week since stanley put 5 past fleetwood and we still have a good cushion on the bottom 4. if stanley had won i suppose the talk would be about the ourside chance of the play offs.

Where does it say I've written them off ?
I haven't given up on the gaffer in fact if you read correctly what I've said I am sympathetic to his plight re "quality"
Ultimately you get what you pay for.
What Coley has achieved in season's past - but hasn't done this time - is exceeded what he's paid for.
Not this season.
 
Just read an interesting post by a Gillingham fan on Facebook on what's wrong this season replies from Doncaster, Fleetwood and Lincoln fans guess what they all blame a reduced budget this season.

Surely...."hasn't done this time"........so far this season? My point is we are only part way through the season. We can only see how he does after the last game has been played? I certainly agree that the current group of players aren't as good as the group we finished last season with. I appreciate that you are sympathetic to the circumstances under which Coley has to operate. If I misunderstood your post I'm sorry.
