Extra cash!

Financial director Brearley told the Advertiser: "I agreed, reluctantly, to loosen the budget because not to have done so would have threatened the quality of the players we could bring in. Now we hope the decision will transfer itself into results."

"We have given Mark Robins a budget to fit into and it is performance related. There are rewards for the players if they do well. So much depends upon what goes on on the pitch. It determines where we can go."

Need to be busy!

"When things started to go wrong last season, a lot of supporters walked. But we have a young and promising side now and a good season will really help the finances. Even an extra 500 supporters through the turnstyles soon adds up." he added.
