Quoted from Son of Cod

We spent 38k apparently. Source was a Tweet sent to me by a Lincoln fan at work.


How does (s)he know?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Pre agents, of course, transfer deals and wages were overseen by the PFA. However, as Taylor has built up his own financial empire as the highest paid Trade Union boss in the entire world with a salary of nearly £3 million this just doesn't happen anymore. As a lifelong union activist I'm totally saddened by what's happened at the PFA and just don't see what the point of it is any more.

The money that goes in agents fees is money that is being sucked out of grassroots football. All it would need would be for the likes of the top 4 or 5 Premiership clubs to turn around and say that they were not dealing with agents any more for them to disappear. Will it ever happen? Sadly I doubt it.


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.

Ta.

So we're about par for the course in the division. As are Lincoln.

Agree if only half of that £260 million went into the grassroots level then football would be the winner, its crazy that players need agents been told a few tales and not all but most are not worth the money.

Paying 10% of your wage every week ,engineered moves to make the agents more money ,for £500 anyone can just about become an agent.

Quoted from rancido


Salford owners and directors ( including their ex Manure players ) loaned the club over £2 million in interest free loans.


So now Salford are stuck with their current owners until those  "benign" loans are paid off.
