Writing in a column in the Non-League Paper, Altrincham chairman Geoff Goodwin has revealed that his side's budget is just £3,900 a week.
"When I joined the club it was £700,000 in debt and three years later we are looking at being debt free in 2006. A lot of this is down to Graham and the board."
"At no time did Graham ask for more money for players. The first year, he had a wage bill of £1,850 a week. Then we reached Nationwide North and he received an increase to £2,400 a week. When we got into the Conference National that rose to £3,900. These amounts are all gross. How many managers would work with this budget in the Conference and, what's more, survive in it! Some have as much as five times more."
"He is also the secretary of the club. He is there from 9am every day even if we have played away on the Tuesday night and have not returned until 4am. And just for good measure he also works on the pitch."
