National League don’t have any tight financial rules as fair as I’m aware?
Our budget is determined by how many fans we get through the gate, which is determined by how many games we win, which is determined by how good our players are, which is determined by our budget. All connected.
Yes there are some exceptions to the rule but not many.
Thanks for that UTI99, you may well be right with your first point, but the rest of your explanation is too simplistic and doesn’t explain why a lot of budgets of NL clubs is higher than a lot of L2 clubs. All you’ve done is say Swann is managing the budget like a household one now, which everybody knows. It doesn’t help with answering the question, unless you’re implying that those NL clubs are either overspending or have higher revenue from Gate receipts?
