If this is all true what a shocking way to run a football club.
This isn't a budget for next season we're actually talking here it's the budget for 3 months time. Planning for the new year should already be well under way so that we are ready to hit the ground running the day after the season finishes. It's not only current players; Adams needs to be able to start identifying targets for next year, how on earth can he be expected to do that if the chairman hasn't even told him whether we can even pay our current crop?
The lack of movement in January worried me; a few loan signings, an out of contract journeyman and a chairman bleating on about it "not always being about results" hardly showed that we were doing everything possible in our fight to survive. The summer is a defining window for our new chair; does he have the ambition to take this club forward or is he happy watching us stagnate after year on year improvement under JB.
The clock is ticking Mr Hallett, the rest of the league won't wait around for you to set a budget. Your manager should be out there finding us the players to ensure this half season of garbage doesn't happen 3 years in a row, he shouldn't be sat twiddling his thumbs waiting for you to react.
