Bit of a catch 22, do you give funds to a manager who is unproven and even with funds may fail - if he fails and a new manager comes in you cant give him a budget as well, you cant spend it twice

Or even the budget JED had........but then we'd be over achieving ?

Funny how all our managers seem to be good company men. Even after they leave us. I actually have to say, other than pulis, I've never heard an ex manager say a bad word about Scally's commitment or backing. Actually jed had bad words with Scally, but to be fair he had the best budget for a gills manager in years so that's just laughable. We were still paying for jeds budget over a year after he left us.
It never fails to amuse me how many fans who dont know Scally are so quick to dismiss all the people who do know him who try to tell them Scally isn't all that bad.

You scally lover you, lol.
So from your comments it sounds like Scally is still considering dismissing Lovell and giving a new manager backing, rather than just giving Lovell money to spend now

Or do you risk falling gates and relegation which pushes the club backwards not forwards and makes a mockery of plans for a shiny new 30K stadium.
It's a risk but you might need to prioritize mitigation of the above over the shiny new stadium for a bit.
Absolutely no guarantee, in fact I would say unlikely, that this squad less eaves and holy would bounce back any time soon.
Unfortunately I found myself giving up on the interview before the end as it seemed clear to me he didn't know what the answer is with the current crop of players. He's sticking with what he believes is the correct way to proceed, shape wise for both home and away which is laudable. I'm all for having the courage of your convictions. What did concern me is when he said we'll carry on till the players "get it". Really ! These are professional players who have probably been kicking a ball since the age of 6 and they can't complete the basics of marking, picking up runners and not getting sucked in to watching the ball.
One caller said it felt as if the fans are now resigned to league 2 football, I fear that Steve with the current crop of players and budget apparently available to him, is resigned to the same fate.

Nash- it’s not going to happen for him here
Oldaker- we need him back in the team to provide variety in an otherwise limited midfield

Yes I remember him saying that too. Something about personal issues so was removed from the squad and SL spent time talking to him.
