This thread is about injuries…… or that’s what is said??


Going back to the injuries theme, I watched the inside training video and didn't notice Sousa, saw Taylor and Crookes, could it be Sousa whose injured.

I didn’t tell you to go away. I remarked that you always seem so negative and suggested that you might consider alternatives in which you can find some balance and/or fulfilment. I’ve never seen you post anything remotely positive.


Look harder then

The way around a salary cap is for a player to have a second job. I believe Newcastle did this years ago with Alan Shearer who worked for Scottish and Newcastle Brewery.

Just a thought.

We did it with Gally in the 90's  , he had a similar job with a brewery , not sure what but was often seen visiting the pubs during the week.

Clubs will always find a way round it, and rightly so. The clubs that are better funded, better run, have bigger crowds and increased marketing income deserve to be able to use that income on the best players. Also if a billionaire has a dream for Brigg Town to get to the Premier league then good luck to them.

For JS to be pushing for equality all round when we are in non-league seems perverse to me; we are competing with very small clubs in the main, with a handful of clubs able to match our size. It would be the same whatever division we were in to be fair, but it would be slightly more understandable if we had to compete with say Sunderland and Portsmouth or Sheffield Wed.

In any event it is daydreaming to think football will ever be reduced to a level financial playing field.

In the early years of the game, before professionalism was allowed, the players (who had often spontaneously decided to move down to Grimsby from Scotland) tended to have suspiciously well-paid jobs at the businesses of the fish merchants who were also the directors of the club. Funny that.

Not sure if it would be quite as easy to get away with it these days unless one or two MPs are any good at footy?

Pretty sure it’s easy to get around a salary cap with appearance fees and other performance bonuses that you can essentially set the bar very low for. I’d think a salary cap only applies to the fixed salary not any extras.
