We get our expectations for the upcoming season, which is to achieve a respectable league position in BSBN (appears to be defined as a top half finish).
That's good for $8.5k weekly salary budget & $0 transfer budget.
If we upgrade those hopes to promotion it'd be another $500/wk, if we shot for winning it all again that would add an additional $250/wk.
I leave things as they are, I don't think one good player, which is about what that $500/wk is worth, is going to assure promotion & I figure I'm on shaky enough ground after the losing streak as it is.

A bunch of youth contracts have expired, some of those players we'd like to keep around probably but ... we're still way over budget for another week.

Jonson Clarke-Harris, Pearce Farren, Olly Bashford, Callum Wilson, Jonathan Henly, Laste Dombaxe, Andrew Musungu and Craig Cresswell are all added to the Reserves as they have aged out of U18 competition.

To our amazement (and possible delight), Hartlepool has accepted our request to extend the loan of Josh Rowbotham for the upcoming season. Hopefully he will agree.

BSBN promotion odds have been released by Sky Bet. Kidderminster is the Even odds favorite to promote. The rest of the main contenders include
Blyth 3:1
Barrow, Boston Utd, Southport 6:1
Altrincham 12:1
I wish I had their confidence
