This again. The money to cover the original build cost for the C&F development was never part of the playing budget. Only one third of the transfer income goes to the playing budget. The cost of the development would have been covered primarily by a third of thee £4m+ (roughly £1.4m?) we got when Ollie moved to Villa and topped up by a third of Randall's sale to Peterborough £600k).Interesting take, I've not seen that on here? I think the additional funds required for C&F are part of life and no doubt have affected the playing budget, the way we're run means it all comes out of a limited pot after all, however that money is labelled.
The additional costs you mention were covered by the Trust loan, so again not part of MT's playing budget.
You could argue that the playing budget should be allocated more from transfer income but that's not how we've been operating so it is a false claim.
