Not only are they floundering around in regional football they are in a right mess behind the scenes:

Would be a tragedy if some bigger club came in and paid out a small fee for their manager after he's started to turn things around, sounds like they need all the money they can get in these desperate times.

One of my favourite awaydays Bootham Crescent. Clubs need to be more prudent I agree but the biggest problem with teams below the Championship is the paltry amount of money fed down.You only have to look at how teams that get relegated from the Prem get on ala Sunderland they have players on huge wages they can`t get rid of and they often drop to League 1 before they steady the ship.At least they had the money to waste FFS teams like GY and worse still the ex league teams below get next to nothing back it needs addressing BUT money talks so it won`t happen.

Went to see York playing at Chorley earlier this season, and they still have some players who apparently cost them four figure sums still in the National League North. Madness.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Doesn’t help that Jon Parkin is on 2k a week apparently and the knobhead manager they have (Martin Gray) splashing the cash like there’s no tomorrow. I ain’t surprised they are having financial problems. The bloke has to turn and sign a new player (normally strikers), everytime they fail to win a game.

They’ve got some massive players on huge wages still. Can’t see this ending for them unfortunately.

Always used to win at York too. I think we must have gone about half a dozen games on the trot there in the 80's  and won every time.

I posted similar comments earlier today about York City.  This was on a "Fenty" thread.

Being a Town exile living in York, I find all this very sad for York City.    Particularly for their long-suffering loyal fans. Their fall from grace (with the same owner) is bad enough to bear.

What makes their position worse is it exactly mirrors GTFC (and vice versa).  In that a "sole owner/Chair/non-Chair" can repeatedly mess the fans and the Trust about to try and get what he wants. Money and power are usually 2 of the root causes.

it sure could.

Maybe this will put a bolt into JF to start to work WITH the fans to ensure nothing like this ever happens to GTFC rather than trying to run things alone
