Would Butler have done better this season with a budget comparable to York and Dale? I think so. I’d wager fans of those two clubs have criticised their managers over the season. But they had a better player budget and their superior quality trumped every other team in the end.
You still need a good manager to ensure that the budget is used wisely and to play the right players with the best tactics.
Having a big budget doesn’t always work – as we know!!
