Appears to me to be just like when we appointed Murray by appointing Dempster, i.e. an appointment from within, no compensation paid for a new gaffer.
A big sea change from what has gone before, a tightening of the purse strings and a season of consolidation/transition.
I expect with the excellent results from the youth team in the past three seasons, Dempster's close links with that youth system, John Radford is starting to want results from it bearing fruition too. For all his bluster about giving youth a chance, Flitcroft never really did, but I suppose it's hard to when in the thick of a promotion battle, you rely on experienced heads rather than kids who can sink or swim and be a huge gamble.
Definitely looks like a top 3 budget will not be coming Dempster's way. I hope he doesn't go like Muzza did, and try ans be negative to stay in a job, and ultimately fail.

Until that becomes obvious, surely any such theories are pure nonsense.
JR has got rid of Flitcroft due to a perceived failure, why would he then not give Flitcroft’s replacement adequate backing to succeed?
Maybe he’s just fed up with “big names” that have done nothing but let him down.

The club will naturally say all the right things, but we’ve really gone for it the last 2 seasons and not achieved our goal. Huge opportunity missed.
Going to be a very interesting summer.

So you're suggesting he's gifted all this extra money the last 2 years? Or that we have actually 'broken even'?

Everyone worried about a budget cut is ridiculous, even if you skimmed £500,000 off I bet it’s still top seven anyway

What I’m telling you is we are allowed to spent 55% of income on players wages, and owners loaning money to the club is not included in ‘income’

This season was last chance saloon to get us up, we threw everything at it financially. The move to Portugal started me thinking along these lines earlier on in the season, but employing Dempster now just confirms it.
They're preparing the club to be self sustainable and be able to survive without their cash injections. If that's the case, this just the beginning. Expect the staff and playing budget next season to be halved at least. If you think the Radfords will give a manager with no experience in the Football League a blank chequebook, you'd better be prepared to be disappointed.
It's a harsh reality but the future of the club has to come first.

That's not true depending on how you put that money in. Andy Pilley does it at Fleetwood. Vince does it at Forest Green. Salford have done it, and will continue to do so.
Hardy stated several times that FFP below the Championship is a joke and easy to bypass.
