Dead easy this, simple economics if nothing else you can’t increase your spending when you have next to nothing in income.
Until there is some clarity on when and how League 2 football will return I’m not sure we could justify brining in or extending anyone, that’s just my opinion.

Seriously prior to him going to Chorley, hardly pulling up any trees. He has 13 goals in 69 appearances in a town shirt, that's a ratio 1 goal in every 5.3 games. So based on that one game against Colchester, he is the most sellable asset.
If the player wants to leave, so be it, not going to get my boxers in a twist, over a player not committed to GTFC, good luck to him and his agent.
When the timming is right for GTFC, in Holloway I trust to bring in a better calibre of player, we had on the books when Jolly and Slade were in charge.
We saw in glimpses what the Holloway contection can bring to Blundell Park.
All this about Crewe, Ipswich, Mansfield pushing the boat and going signing players, retaining players etc.
In the 2018/19 a team called Bury, splash the cash to get promoted to League 1, looked what happened to them, Bolton not so long ago were in the premiership, paying in League 2 when we start, now Swanny not splashing the cash at Scunny, they are back were they belong.
As I have said previously the most important person that needs to be retained is Mr Holloway.
Will he be able to wave the magic wand and get us promoted, who knows, I bet the football will be more entertaining that it has been over the last few years, based I what I have seen.

Let's just hope that if any legal challenge against the EFL goes ahead, they don't use any of the monies raised through the sale of shares or crowdfunding. It ain't gonna be cheap, thats for sure. It makes you wonder what Town would want from the EFL if they won the case. A sum equivalent to their valuation of CV? Get CV back under contract? A big wodge of cash for the ineptitude of the EFL?
Or is it best just to let it be. I personally think everyone is blaming each other. Two wrongs don't make a Wright (but at least he stays with Town)!

I think Lincoln signing the lad from Crewe states everything that is wrong with football. Last week they announce several redundancies of people who have worked for them loyally for a number of years the majority of which were not successful. However, as soon as a player they want is available the money is found to pay him. From what I have read town have tried to adopt an approach that allows us to maintain the employment of our support staff and this stance has been backed by the players wage cut. I know which approach I prefer and if this means missing out on a decent L2 player currently available than so be it.

I thought exactly that about Lincoln, there is a morality issue there and I think they should be ashamed.

Criticise our board all you like but we've always paid our dues. Go back to ITV Digital and we are one of the few troubled clubs to pay HMRC every penny.
Clubs are part of the community and you can't make long serving staff redundant and then find money to sign a player the following week. It absolutely stinks.

Let's just hope our ticket office / shop staff, toilet cleaners and other back room staff are up to it when Holloway has to select them in the absence of enough players

I, for one, are proud of how Town have handled this.
Lincoln had redundancies to fund signing players.
We have not. Yes, we may not get the big names, but we have the most influential manager in the league, we are not down the sh**ter yet like some clubs, and we have an incredible support base who've raised 1000s.
Stop whinging that we may lose a winger, its happened before. We will be back stronger.
Theres loads of players who are desperate to play, and they'll be there for the picking by IH.
Think long term - we still have employees, we still have IH and we still have a club.
