Regarding the Budget Booster for last season, was an audit ever carried out to determine how the £20k was spent and if any money was left for this season.
I contributed last season, but after all speculation that a certain player got the bulk of the pot, I am reluctant to give any money this season, can anyone associated with the administration of these funds enlighten me further. ??

Obviously we can't divulge individual player payments.
The way the club works is the manager has a weekly budget of xx pounds he can do what he likes as long as he doesn't go over.
What the booster did was enable XX to be boosted by £500 per week. Total budget xx plus 500 but you mustn't spend more.
As that squad changes in cost from week to week depending on who plays sometimes it comes slightly under budget sometimes just over (over the season it averages out) it is impossible to say that any one player had the booster money allocated solely to them.
All I will say is every penny counts, £20 a week here or there genuinely does sometimes mean getting a player or not getting him when the manager negotiates.
I can't tell you whether or not to contribute again but as the person who administers the scheme I have been as honest and open as I can be on a public forum.
Trust the manager, get behind him, it really does make a difference

In my mind the budget booster was there to provide extra funding to spend on players above what was already available, think it’s pretty obvious that this fund was used to help bring in Devitt which unfortunately didn’t work out , but that’s the gamble in football. The manager has to be given the authority to spend how he sees fit and in this case I would guess that Danny’s confidence in his self took a massive blow and also his judgment will know doubt have been questioned. No good to have online inquest’s I’m sure the relevant people will have studied the situation, if you are in a position to help out , go for it I’m sure any amount will be greatly appreciated

I think DG let his heart rule his head when he signed Devitt. You can't blame people who contributed last year for thinking hard about giving this time - and I include myself in that group. As the saying goes 'once bitten twice shy.' However I will probably end up contributing as I trust Mark Fell not to waste the money on an obviously injured player.
