Really? Wouldn't surprise me if they end up in financial trouble


Oh, I think they’ve been paying a dangerous game personally. In 2016/17 they spent 145% of turnover on wages, just 8% less than the worst offending club - Bolton Wanderers no less:

I’m fairly sure they’ll have budgeted on a promotion push last year, not relegation, so it could have been worse still. For what it’s worth, I can see them doing alright this season but you never know; a couple of years floundering in the League Two wilderness and things could turn sour very fast.

I’m by no means wishing a financial implosion upon them, like Les I reserve that for Milton Keynes and Milton Keynes alone. But I don’t think it’s an unfair observation.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Hold on. Fenty gets a lot of stick on here for not investing in the team to get us promoted from League Two, but now we're praising him for not operating beyond the club's means? Make your flipping mind up.

In case you have forgotten, Tranmere and Lincoln are in League One.

If you bothered to pay attention to what individual people say rather than taking a broad brush approach, you might find you're mixing up different people's opinions.


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.

So that's both Bolton and Bury docked points before the season kicks off, basically that's 2 of the 4 relegation places in division 1 practically sorted.

Similar to what I thought the season Luton started on -30 and Bournemouth and Rotherham on -17. It was only because Chester were so excrement that we stayed up that season, delaying the inevitable.

A bit different though with there only being 2 spots - Bournemouth started that season on -17 but out the relegation zone!
