Surely the loanees and Brendan Kiernan must of cost money or maybe not?

For sure, but not mega, plus some signed players went out on loan too (e.g  Zac Bell to Truro). As we know loanees can be brought in at rates less than they are paid at the owner club (50/50 split for example). We'll see how they approach NLS, but the likes of Smith, Kiernan will likely move on, the former for a fee in all probability.

With an enhanced budget hopefully we can make a few more established signings.

 

What enhanced budget?

Re-read Scott's post of 3 May 21:21 on the retained list thread and he is very careful not to quote that there is an increase in budget.  He talks about wise recruitment.

There may well be a better budget, but that is between owner and manager.

If you say there is more money everyone will be going in for a raise, and you will start getting calls from the mercenaries of the game.

Apart from what was said at the fans forum it was printed in the last match day program from Ash saying 'we are enhancing the playing budget to ensure we remain competitive'.

Looking at it positively it say's to remain competitive so I reckon it has to be a more decent budget compared to last season.

Ambitious club, no doubt with a budget to match, who want nothing less than promotion.

Imo that statement is nonsense really All season long we were told our budget was poor  one of the poorest in the league etc.etc. we were never competitive  so a pledge to remain competetive is pie in the sky What is needed is a substantial switch of available funds to the playing squad.

I think we all need to readjust our expectations for next season and consider staying up as an achievement. If we can better last seasons place then we’ve done very well.

Statement from Alan Devonshire says he will fight on to put Maidenhead back where they belong!

Possible 2nd relegation on the way?

I think it’s really wrong for Alan to state he’s taking the club back to the Southern Central so soon after relegation!
