Quoted from LN8Mariner


Dodgy Dave’s got to get his money back somehow?


I very much doubt if Dodgy Dave lost a single penny.  !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Heard tonight that their budget for last season was £1.7m, they need to reduce it to £0.7 m for the coming season. One player was earning over £3500 per week. They are copulated.

Te figures quoted earlier in the week on Facebook were £1.2m last year, down to £700k next season. I have no idea which is correct.

To give you some idea of how desperate this is, assuming a playing staff of  22 players, which is pretty much bare bones, an average weekly wage of £520 grosses up, after employers NI and pension costs, to £701k p.a.

If the budget is in £1 million, they could afford an average wage bill of £745 per week.

Either way there are no decent players heading their way, but then I guess its the same for other clubs in the NLN. So they will have to recruit really wisely and be lead by a good manager to impose themselves on the division like they want to.


EDIT: Just reread TIC post and that too points to a £700k budget, not £1 million as I initially misread it. Oh boy, that is desperate for them if true.

Do they have any players still in contact on huge wages? That will eat into the budget if so.

Compared to what they were facing a few months ago this is still a good outcome. They control the ground, the town is backing them like in Macc and Bury. I had a smile when Boston beat them on pens, but us, SUFC, Macc and Bury are much more about football as a sport as opposed to the top end of the prem which is just a showbiz box set. All are owned like us closer to the German way than most clubs.

Their retained list should be interesting. The main criteria for who stays or goes will probably simply be wage levels.

They'll still be well off by NLN standards surely?. The crowds stood up very well last season given the dreadful situation they were in. Something like 4000 after the takeover.
Guess it depends how many of their opponents will be bankrolled by sugar daddy types.
