Don't know if this is breaking any rules, but I'd like some input.

I'm with Worcester City, it's November 2007. I've just been promoted to Conference National above all expectations. I've been financially excellent, keeping within wage budgets, not spending transfer funds unless there are exceptional reasons, and have saved £160,000 (mostly TV revenue from the Conference). I've asked the board several times for an improvement of the training facilities, but they're refusing. Training facilities are classed as 'Need major investment' and I want to get Worcester to the League before leaving. Having sh!t training facilities I feel is preventing m from reching my goal. Do I.....

a) Continue as I'm doing and wait for the board to change their minds?

b) Dig in and issue an ultimatum, risking an option of resignation or egg on face and disgruntled chairman

c) Quit for one of the lucrative job offers coming my way.

I'm currently in a play off place 12 games in, 4 points off automatic, but don't feel I have a squad capable of promotion without the neccessary training.

If this breaks any rules, feel free to tell me to f off, but I can't see anything. Talking to other managers about resignation issues seems perfectly logical to me.

Well, they obviously can't afford to improve the training facilities with £160k. So do what you feel like.

£160k?

And you're asking them to spend half (or even more) of it in a thing that won't create any revenue? Well, you can't blame them for being cautious, can you?

That's not an ethics issue at all. It's simply a matter of what you feel is right. Do you want to stay or do you want to move on.

Nothing at all to do with the way the game is played. Figure out what you want to do and then...Just do it!

Anything higher than league 2 would be a bit unrealistic (imho).
Stick with it give the team a chance.

Yeah! It's my money, I made it.

I'm going to stick it out for a bit longer. I just bought my star DL back off Milwall for £6k. They bought him off me for £120,000 a year ago.

His wages are vastly inflated now though.
