I know there was a lad in non league that league clubs wanted to sign but he declined preferring to focus on his job and play football on the side due to the lack of financial stability at the lower level.


That was the Altrincham striker, I seem to recall. I think he was running a plastering business alongside playing so he'd have been coining it in!

Tough choice I know as many follow their dream of becoming a pro footballer  and end up nowhere in their 30s and in many cases need to support a family.

Hope the players that do decide to give it a go are implementing back ups plans.Some of them dont and create a difficult life for themselves once their careers are over.

Then you look at the other end of the scale at Gareth Bales contract with Real Madrid. Signed a 6 deal which will earn him  150 million !

Yep. Damian Reeves.

I feel for him in a way.1 year deal is nothing and whats he on yearly £35 -45 k I imagine.



I wish I was on £35-45K a year even if it was a one year deal


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

latest update from the manager, which has a fair portion devoted to whitmore


yeah says about Akheem Rose re-signing delay being more of a paperwork issue (understandable after last time). So looks like Aarron was posting bullshit on that topic then. What a surprise.

I've been one of the first to jump on Aaron's back previously when he's posted 'in the know' news.... But perhaps the lad was just passing on information he'd been told, regardless of whether it was true or not.

Im hoping that this lad will turn out to be a gem for us.He's had a good rest and will be raring to go. We've put a big effort to get him and after all this time we are still trying so MJ clearly see's some potential there. I expect us to sign a proven goal scorer as a first option but I feel Rose will score a few for us as well.

Not necessarily - for all we know he might have turned down the initial contract offer and then accepted an improved one.  

At the end of the day, doesn't really matter if we end up getting him signed on - be interesting to see where he fits into Jolley's plans.

July we find for sure, 100% if Rose can play. The biggest hurdle has been jumped over, couple more to go!
