Wages of 3.7million.
Income of 3.2million.

Daft wages for that level.

I think there should be a requirement for players registered with clubs to have contracts that go down if the club is relegated. A club stuck paying a player for 3 years on a division higher's wage structure is a nightmare.

There is no reason why clubs couldn't do that, in fact I believe many already do have relagation clauses in their player contracts.


Scunny look like they are re running our recent history......punch above their weight for a few years, bring in players they can't afford to try and compete, slide down the league, make huge losses,......they could well be in the BSP in a few years......

It seems as though they rely on selling a Billy Sharp or a Gary Hooper for a couple of million quid every year or 2, just to sustain a big wage bill. Very risky business stratergy.

Thanks RoboCod I was told by someone close to the heart of the club that it was verging on the abyss and this was due to Wharton wanting out and no one wanting to take over.  I mentioned this on a thread about Lincoln likely to go bust and I said it was the Scunts were more likely for the reasons stated.  

The funny thing is they can't afford a league one team on the gates they get for team performing below mid table.  Laws will more than likely keep the up but ultimately he could see them in a worse financial hole than the one they are in at the minute.  Wharton is desperate to get out and will give his shares away to anyone who will take over.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Not quite the same Ron. We ran a pretty balanced budget and albeit dependent on a vastly inflated TV deal. Once ITVdigital went bust then we had players we couldn't afford and we had to let them go to avoid administration, unlike the cheating feckers up the road from me at King Prawn Stadium who signed one of our high earners - Danny Coyne but still went into admininstration.

Not sure how Scunny fecked up so badly. Maybe they budgeted on bigger crowds. Up until this season they had pretty good season ticket numbers but then sold hardly any matchday tickets apart from away fans.
