Exeter City boss, Alex Inglethorpe, has been promised more money for next season. Recent results have seen Exeter drop down the Conference and they now lie in eighth position in the league table.
Inglethorpe had his budget cut by £160,000 for this season according to the Exeter press.
Last Tuesday the Grecians could only draw at lowly Tamworth. The point leaves them six points adrift of the Conference play-offs and they now have to win at least six of their last eight games to book a top five spot.
However Inglethorpe has been promised that 'his playing budget is to be significantly increased next season'.
"Maybe the squad was not as strong as it needed to be. And it will mean we weren't ready. What it will mean, though, is we are going in the right direction. I believe there is a nucleus of a squad here which is worth holding on to. There are seven or eight contracts we are obligated to at the minute and that gives me a tremendous amount of scope. If you look at the players who are on contracts next year - the likes of Danny Woodards, Lee Phillips, Billy Jones - that gives me a tremendous amount of hope. If we can add around that nucleaus I think there are some exciting times ahead," said Inglethrope.
