So 19 senior players playing for nowt. 11 contracted players paid less than the 2 at Benfield. Like i said pointless bishop post is why this forum is dead. 11 contracted players, not 10. Ps, the reason why this forum isn't dead is because of posts about Bishops!  Also, Adam Boyes heading to midtable Redcar Athletic for the remainder of the season. That bumps their budget up that ickle bit more I reckon. Never said 10. Forum is dead as every topic gets hijacked by boring irrelevant bishop crap. |

Let's be honest a lot of managers in the NL are totally reliant on big budgets and would run a mile at any sign of a small budget. Any manager should have the clubs best interests at heart. Unfortunately that is not always the case, they put there egos first. Many don't have a clue what players are worth and there first question is how much do you want. NL managers should have a plan for when budgets are reduced because it is almost inevitable for most clubs. The best managers can manage budget cuts but many just moan and throw the towel in. The best managers will move players on, reduce the wages of others and persuade players to stick with it or step in to help a club in need. Good managers should have enough about them to say no to a player and know when they are overspending. Budget cuts should be an expectation not a suprise. Seaham are an example of a club that cuts there cloth accordingly. Possibly one of smallest budgets in league which is probably cut every year but they remain competitive and sustainable with a committee and manager that crack on and don't overspend. In the last few weeks I have seen players moving clubs and asking for £130 to £150 a week when they weren't even playing for the club they were at or were injured. Maybe not the players fault but managers should be saying wait a minute you haven't been playing. This is what I think your worth, go and prove yourself. Many won't though because they know a player or he has a bit of a reputation.

I don't think Whitley Bay will be anywhere near the top 6 budgets.

At an educated guess I would say the below are the top budgets in Div 1: Redcar Athletic West Auckland Birtley Town Shildon Whitley Bay Newcastle Benfield 😂😂 I think you need an education not an educated guess. You are so wide of the mark to put us at Birtley in your guess . Think it’s about time you start thinking before posting. Another ridiculous post . |

Wouldn’t have a clue what birtleys budget is, but I’d guess there isn’t as much money flying around as there used to be. It’s a good thing as clubs are likely playing at a more aligned level now. IMO other than Redcar, bishops and maybe west Auckland I’d suggest the remainder might be quite a lot lower and very similar. |

I'll be honest and say I thought Birtleys budget would be pretty high looking at the players they brought in last season and this but as times gone I've been proven wrong I think. I'd say there a club who's players are there for the badge and mates and maybe not just the coin. I think what proves this is there league position and general feel good factor around the club when your there. I'd still say it's a decent kitty but not as high as I originally thought.

I don’t know what our budget is nor do I want to. But I do know it’s sensible and not crippling . Us oldies as we are called handed the running of the club to what will be close if not the youngest committee in the league. Must admit I’m enjoying not being involved in a secretary capacity. It’s no coincidence that our crowds are up and continue to rise with the committee very much involving the community. We have family’s making a day of it now now . Good team of volunteers, an area we are looking to grow. Many hands as they say makes light work . Now just have to get our drainage sorted out . It’s our top priority now . |

I watch a lot of Wearside games aswel and there are some very good managers/coaches in that league plying their trade on knowledge, man management and players loyal to them for very little or in some cases, nothing. |

That’s absolutely ridiculous, clearly someone with big pockets who has a big ego and wants a day out at Wembley. When spenny were in the league I’d heard rumours (haven’t got a clue if they were true or not) , that they had a wage bill of £5k, which I thought was ridiculous at the time, but as they proved they were the best team in the country. To have a budget double that, you should almost never lose a game and be able to put a squad together worthy of a league at least 2/3 divisions higher. Again haven’t got a clue what other teams budgets are but I’d guess bishops is about a quarter or a third of that. I’ll bet my bottom dollar there a 2 teams in the ENL paying half of that, and one of them is Bishop. Though our squad maybe costing a few quid Doubt very much wel be spending 5 grand a week.however you seen to forget shildon signed Blackpool play off winning captain who left shildon to then go to darlo,York and hartlepool.bet that cost gary forrest about the same as our top 3 earners combined |

With a couple of extra hands on a match day Thats young but not a bad thing, guys that age will have had enough life and work experience to know what they are doing but still offer a fresh take on things. To be honest even a comitte with the average age of 50/60 would be young at alot of northern league level clubs |
