In our last spell in non-league, we were being greatly outspent by several sides each season. Par for the course these days, I'm afraid. It makes it all the more likely that play-offs are likely to be the only way out so we just need to make sure that we've got a ticket in the lottery come the end of the season. Lots of points to play for yet and it won't take more than a small improvement to start to pick up the points we require. Hopefully, the new signings will be able to improve us enough to get them.

People point to Harrogate and Sutton that went up without spending money. They built promotion sides slowly, giving the manager time to build their squads. Their teams were put together when the right players became available instead of spending a fortune in one or two transfer windows. Halifax would appear to be doing the same this year, biding their time and picking up players when they are available to them.

Quoted from jamesgtfc
Surely there is a better striker out there for £300k than Ollie Palmer?


Shush! Despite me undoubtedly wanting Palmer back here every season since he was, I think we currently have a player  who’s better…..

But you said ‘they don’t want to’. That’s just silly. They may be willing to pay for the right player. Just because they haven’t thus far doesn’t make your point valid. It’s just supposition. ‘They don’t want to’ you said. You couldn’t possibly know that and actually, this is contrary to what they said they’ll do. Would you pay £300K for Ollie Palmer and then a wage that is doubtless bigger than anyone in our squad?!? !I’ll take a punt and say the answer is ‘no’.


I’m glad someone has the same mindset as me, so many idiots complaining about the board. It seems people have poor memories in regards to our previous custodian.

I have some magic beans for sale I may give Wrexham a call to see if they’re interested.

Is £300k too much for Ollie Palmer at his age? I'd say yes.

But, will he do a very good job at National League level? I'd say yes to that too.


Time to resurrect my Fishy signature again. So here goes.

It’s gonna be Michael-Jackson-popcorn-gif-inducing stuff at the end of the season watching which of these lot stay down after the money they’ve spent.

Palmer is a heck of a signing but that is absurd money.

I’m not sure how that’s sustainable even if they go up.
