Assuming the quotes are new he's referring to "being backed before" which infers he's not being backed now.I read that article In anticipation wondering exactly where he said “I want more money”. That would be a big step to say that directly in public rather than inferring it through low budget talk.
But he doesn’t. He’s just reiterated we don’t have any. Sounds like just last weeks/last months news. In fact, I’m sure I’ve read the quotes from other club chairmen before months ago. Either Steve’s just saying it again for effect, or I think it’s all just KM rehash.
Move on, nothing to see here.

when he was appointed a lot of people were saying, he will fail because of of his previous success was only because he was backed by big spending and big budgets. I think he is enjoying proving people wrong and wants to make everyone aware of it. If he gets us close to the play offs he will be poached before the start of next season.
I have a different theory on the budget. It might be all wrong but if Mr Scally did indeed have an agreement in place with our bankers to reduce or write off the debt as part of any deal surely the bank would have something in there to say we cant have an overdraft facility to build up debt again?
it might not be Mr Scally not wishing to get a player or 2 in but the rules of the agreement, which we will never know not enabling the football club to go beyond the set boundaries of any said agreement???
As I say just a theory in my head.
We don't bank with the same firm that wrote the overdraft off
No but they are still entitled to 20% of any future overdraft fees.
Criticism of the chairman has never been an obvious criteria for changing the manager. It’s always been about results on the pitch. The one exception was Pulis and I don’t think many blame Scally for that one.I am surprised the chairman has not commented on the constant mention of the budget by SE. Other managers have not been around long after any criticism.
Is SE saying our budget is below that of Accrington Stanley ? If it is something has gone badly wrong.
It may well be the chairman has reduced the playing budget from what was agreed with the manager during contract negotiations.
Steve Evans has now got on his C.V did a great job at Gillingham with a piss poor playing budget and may not be around for much longer.
I am enjoying the season so far and it would be good if SE could end it here , but think that's unlikely at the moment.
Poached or hard boiled?
I would rather have a chairman who watches the pennies than the likes of Maidstone, Bury, Bolton,Macclesfield,Southend etc.
