Chesterfield

2 Brothers have put £1 Million into them which will go towards transfers today and infrastructure

another reminder of what we are up against

The multi-millionaires of the NE Lincs area are letting the club down BADLY. Time to stand up and be counted. Get the chequebook out you skinflints.

I was also surprised to read Hurst saying one of our transfer targets chose to go to Solihull Moors rather than us, because the money was considerably more.

saw that yesterday, I wondered if it was Dallas

That smacked a bit of desperation from Hurst, he knows what he's dealing with and any constraints he's under.  Moaning that we're getting outbid isn't going to win him any favours with fans, nor I suspect 1878.

There are a lot of high spenders in this division.  The absolute vast majority, if not all, are spending beyond their means.  I can't lie and say I'm not envious that clubs are bringing in players that we would like to have in our squad, but it is what it is.  It's the remit he's working to and even the slightest moan about it achieves nothing at all.

That said, you've gotta fear for the future of some of these clubs.  It's ok someone coming in and lobbing a £1million at transfers, that might get you 5 or 6 really good players at this level.  But they don't come on minimum wage.  They'll command a premium wage, more so if they're going to drop down to this level.    Chucking money at it is in no way a guaranteed route to success.  There's only 2 teams that are going up into League Two.  At least one team is going to be stuck in this division next season, with a wage bill that they've absolutely no chance of matching against their income.  Amidst this we're on the brink of a financial crisis globally.  

It is frustrating that we're not able to match the spending of some clubs, even more so when we know we've generated a bulk of money through sales and sell-ons, but long term I feel very comfortable for our future.  I can't say I share that view for Chesterfield, Stockport et al.  The disappointing irony is that the clubs that are chucking money at it are the ones who have previous for poor financial control and should be well aware of the downfalls of not cutting your cloth appropriately.

It’s really thought-provoking if that is where we sit in the pecking order. If true I am really disillusioned

Remind me how much 1878 said they will be putting into the club this financial year?

No idea? please enlighten me

But i doubt its 1 Million 3/4 of the way through the season

Worth noting how much money we’ve been paid in transfer fees in the last year or so and who’s taken that money out of the club.
