By budget better do you mean buy a lesser quality of player? Which then gives people another stick to beat IFL with because he isnt signing top players? I just don't get why anyone who has already paid there money out months ago would ask for it back? Like i posted before i understand the ones paying on the drip might not want to continue there monthly payments but am pretty sure they will be legally bound to do so. I am sure the club will offer something back, personally if i was the club i would offer everyone a voucher for the shop,say £100 voucher, that way then the club don't lose as much but the fans gain something.
I too think the club will honour their obligations regarding season tickets, be it either the season gets finished (and im sure this is what the clubs will want, pie and pint money is important to them all after all) or price off next seasons ticket,Lenegan isn't a mug he knows when this hit that fans who haven't returned with two big signings won't come back if the club is seen to shortchange people things are going to get rough, and lets be fair it wasn't all rosy crowd wise before this mess.
As for signings I think we as fans are going to have to temper expectations for a few years and the reliance on the production line will be renewed with vigour but after the world starts to turn again big money players just won't be happening imo and that goes throughout the sport full stop, only football will escape this mess fairly unscathed in my opinions yes like it or not next season and the following few are going to be tough ones for the club and the sport,and you need fans onside to buy the merchandise,the pies and the pints.
But its going to be grim for a few years yet.
