We didn't know what division we would be in!


Contracts could theoretically have promotion wage rise clauses within them. I did request someone more enlightened. Thanks though.

If Pearson, Magnay & LJL have left/do leave (which I expect at least one of them to) the only thing I would be peeved about is that they weren't offered contracts before the season ended when there was a real buzz about the place. Can someone more enlightened explain why this couldn't have been done?


How do you know that we didn't ?

Because it would have been announced/got in to the public domain.

If last Summer we offered Pearson (for example) a 2 year contract but he said he'd only sign for one you think that info would have been made public?

Ultimately Town have a budget to stick to. The longer we are in this league the more likely that budget will reduce. There is no Sky money down here...clubs have to make their own way.

For the last few seasons Town have been able to fund a competitive squad that has had relative success. I would imagine the new budget wont be too far off last year. But it is not a bottomless pit.

I would dearly love to keep hold of all the players we have offered contracts to but the reality some of the better players will be in demand and will have other offers. Hopefully Town can entice most of them to stay.

When the club set their budget they will base it on potential revenue and that will be based on attendences. I think last years averaged 3600 but most games were nearer 3000 and we rarely got above 4000. Not bad for Conference football but for a team near the top of league and pushing for promotion, like we have the last 3 seasons, i was disappointed by the gates and i dare say they are less than what the club based their budget on.

So for all those stay away fans and those saying they wont go much unless they are winning that is exactly why the money dwindles and our ability to sign and hold onto better players lessens. Individual choice obviously if you decide not to renew a season ticket or go to Blundell Park at all but  pause and think before you slag off the club/fenty/manager/laundry lady....

If we'd have offered (any kind of) contract to any/all of Pearson, Magnay and Lenny well in advance of the end of the season, I'm sure something would have been mentioned somewhere. What you're supposing is not the same scenario.

Think what Hurst could do if he had the budgets that the useless Newell and the hapless Woods had. Players like Ridley and Kempson were on a better whack than the current lot.

I bet Disco Des was on more than the whole team and management


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly
