I have no idea mate, but with a Club the size of ours even half of your estimate is like a good weekends takings I would imagine.

They got what they needed, the money from a failed play-off campaign, make no mistake about that.
Do we know how much that was? I know it's a lot less than most of us thought as some is shared between all clubs in the division. Still even if it's 'only' £50k, thats enough for two Zebroskis (not that I expect us to spend a penny on transfer fees this summer).

I am only stating what came from the horses mouth this morning and he seemed very genuine and passionate about the club, and maybe a rather tad pee'd off.

If we had won the game Buckle would have looked pretty stupid defecting from a promotion winning side. No wonder he was not looking too unhappy. Its a result that suited him and the board.

Of course he didn't want us to lose. But it can barely be denied that the attention on his own future (which he did nothing to dispel before the game) would have affected the mindset of the players.
