No problem with how you've generated your cash - good on you and i wish more clubs were like that, rather than relying on a sugar daddy billionaire.
But it is also probably not true that you haven't splashed the cash...i mean, how much must Bostwick be on??
Think I have heard he is on 3k, quality player though.

Matt Dean Twitter comment.....
Had it confirmed that #gtfc are in for ex-#Scunthorpe midfielder Michael O’Connor.
Told he has other offers, though, and is weighing them up.
Word is he still lives in Lincolnshire so #gtfc’s offer might be given serious consideration.

Are they bringing on anyone internally to replace them?
That's a good question. No idea about that TBH but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have some sort of input in their successor.

Players have to get what they can BUT it angers me than any League 2 footballer earns £150k+pa. The game is so far removed from its traditional roots and i believe ( and sometimes hope) it imploeds and we can start again

But you're not splashing the cash . I would be shocked if our top earner was on half that.

Why would it anger you that a lower division footballer could earn this much? It's a specialised job, one which only a tiny fraction of the population are capable of carrying out so why would you begrudge them the money, if they can get it? Anyway, in the grand scheme of things, it's not a massive amount in comparison to, say, the folk in the City who make vast amounts of money speculating with (and often losing) other people's money. A lower division footballer on a decent whack isn't exactly the same as the top level players who bag a few times this amount each week.

as an older guy (63) it angers me that a footballer, not a skilled life saving surgeon or even a CEO of a compnay with responsiblity for thousands of people, earns so much for kicking a ball around. He may well be skilled in his job but it, as I said in my earlier post, removing the game even further from the people. You may be happy for your season ticket to go up to £6/800 or your Sky/BT subscription to rise and rise but this is the sort of move that will be neccesary for the game to continue to pay exhorbitant wages. Pitches and stadia have improved, slightly in GTFC case, but the ever increasing cost of football just goes in to the pocket of limited ability players. It is that that is killing the game for me. You may feel differently, thats your perogative, but i hate it !

I'd personally rather have a decent player on a reasonable wage available for 46 games of the season rather than risking signing a good but expensive player in the hope they could manage 30-odd. Especially when you consider we've already got a boatload of midfielders signed up or offered contracts.
I wouldn't want to break the bank for somebody just to see him keep Clifton out of the team,
No reason he can't play a full season, all players get injuries, I was talking worst case scenario. Personally, I'd be happy to see him keep Clifton out the team if it improves us. But I think it's moot anyway as I think they'd be competing for different positions next season, with Clifton most likely to be utilised as a right midfielder. O'Connor would then be up against Rose, Woolford and possibly Summerfield for a central midfield berth. 4/5 CMs isn't a 'boatload' either.
