Wrexham spending again…..!!

There's only 1 position I would spend big on and that's a striker.

Time and time again we've seen average teams score loads of goals because of one quality striker.

Yes ita about the whole team, but a good striker makes the biggest impact in my opinion, especially in the non league when games tend to be a bit more scrappy

I'd happily spend big in a proven goal scorer

Wrexham have done exactly that .

Quoted from TonySmith

I honestly hope that Wrexham do get promoted ( unless they're playing us in the playoff final! ). They are a good club with a long proud history and a decent fan base who have been down in Division 5 for far too long. I recall that a few years ago they got over 90 points, finished 2nd and did not go up through the playoffs. That must have been hard to take for all concerned. If the rest of us are competing for the other spot then so be it. Hopefully Town will be better than the rest. Looking forward to Saturday. Up the Mariners!

Couldn't agree more.

Nope I don't. I hope they fail. Not because I dislike the club but because I'd rather a club staying within a sensible budget be rewarded with promotion.


[quote] But because of the ambition of the club, and the project, and the manager and chairmen's plans going forward it's an exciting prospect to be part of, trying to get into the Football League and beyond.[quote]
That's a long winded way of saying I was offered alot of money.

They’ve new owners, their new owners are famous. It’s a selling point and they’ve thrown cash at it. Will it work? Who knows?

The fans are embracing their new found interest and why not but if it doesn’t work or starts to derail a tad the gimmicks don’t save you.

My personal view is that the model to follow when wanting to get out of this cesspit we find ourselves in…again (you really are a waste of spunk John), is a hybrid of the Lincoln and Donnie model. The latter have had issues but their route out was a sensible way with root and branch development of the club. Lincoln very much the same.

I don't think Lincoln threw an awful lot of money at getting out. Cowley made wholesale changes and got them playing for one another but the cup run brought the city together and it was that money plus the additional gate receipts that enabled them to spend big the following season.

That’s my point, they did it in a sustained way that got everyone interested, only once they found success did they invest more cash…with that came further outside investment…

Quoted from Abdul19

I'd love to hear a player just come out and say "they offered me loads more money than I'm on". That'd be fair enough, most of us would do the same.

Fucking 'project', fuck off  

I think Pereira said something along these lines when he left West Brom to go to the Middle East.

“How could you possibly drop from the top of end League 1 to the conference based on ‘the project’?”

“Let’s just say it moved me….TO A BIGGER HOUSE”

I think the key bit is what a club does after promotion and that is where we went wrong. Summerfield and Berrett were downgrades on Clay and Nolan. Jackson and Tuton were downgrades on Amond but we were up there when Hurst left.
