Quoted from Stan_darlo
As Quakerz has pointed out pretty much every club around nowadays is paying beyond its means, you lot included. How chairmen can keep getting away with loaning a club money before walking away whenever they feel like it leaving a club with debt they could never pay off is beyond me, and the powers that be need to start doing something to stop it from happening.

Your club has been lucky in that your chairman actually seems to care about your club. I just hope for your sake that the next one is just as good, because there will be intercourse all you can do to stop him from wrecking your club if he is not.
Totally agree with you for what it's worth, their needs to be some ruling put in place by the FA, losing 900k within a year is ridiculous and is totally bad practice.

If people are going to put money into a club, ask any chairman why they are loans - because they will eventually want this money back one year or another.  What happens when that person passes away - the relatives pull the plug?

I'm going to back-track slightly. I was sticking up for Darlington but they have just signed ADAM BOYD from Hartlepool on loan, a league 1 class striker. I think there should be some rules preventing loan signings of that magnitude.

We were on course for automatic promotion when we went into admin.


Which came about because you were signing more and more players on stupid money while ignoring your mounting bills.  Come back here and have a go at us when we've gone into admin once. Then twice. Perhaps we could wipe the debts a third time too.

You're right, Houghton was pumping money we did't have into the club and we had some brilliant players. Little did we know he all the money he was spending was a loan that he decided to recall when he'd had enough, and tbh even if we did know there was intercourse all we could have done about it.
Like I said, you've been lucky in that you have a chairman who cares about your club and is willing to keep pumping money in to fund your 900k per year debt. I wasn't so much having a go at you as I was football in general, all clubs are doing it and the situation will get worse unless someone does something about it. I'm not proud of the fact we've been in admin 3 times but in my opinion if circumstances had been different it could have been you in our position.

No, he claimed it as a rumour, on a rumour thread. Big difference Lew.

Also, the lad is 14, and as we all know, 14 year olds believe owt.
