Here’s a selection of the views shared with us via our Facebook page and Twitter.

@Niall_Judge26: Think that’s the most depressing piece you’ve done yet, we really do have a mid table budget.

If Cowleys get us in the play offs this season it would be some achievement.

@jordy_drapes: I assume our budget is no longer amongst the ‘top six’?

If so what changed between the beginning of the window to now?

Lots of use of the word ‘competitive’ a month ago but the expectation now seems mid-table.

Barrie Jenkins: When you have a ball and chain around your neck it’s virtually impossible to swim. I fear it’s going to be a tough few years.

@morris316: Mid table this season at best, few injuries and we could easily be in the bottom half.

Wayne Outram: Definitely going to be a tough long old season, I’ll be happy with a top half finish!

@AntCoombes80: Are we just going through the motions this season?

Saving the money in the hope that the big spenders go up, putting us in a better position in 10 months?

@PompeyG90: That sounds pretty depressing.. they have been tasked to rebuild a squad with potentially no transfer kitty.

I thought our budget was low .. but didn't no it was this low.

Anthony Knight: Strap yourselves in people, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride..mid table this season would be an achievement…PUP.

@ben12389: Bottom half of the table then it will be. Let’s hope not fighting relegation as i’m sure the Eisners won’t hang around long after that if that happens.

@andybastable: What an utterly depressing situation. Time for everyone to be honest about our ambitions for this season.

@mikepfcwhite363: Ouchh, that’s not the competitive budget that Danny said end of the season! Now I understand it, competitive budget for remaining in league 1.
