There’s more chance of Lance Armstrong signing.


He’s a Wimbledon fan, isn’t he? Pretty sure I read he was a womble.

It could still happen. He initially signed for Norwich but they made him give back the yellow jersey.

Just because we allegedly got over a million from the FA Cup run ADDED onto the budget that 1878 had already put aside for this season DOESNT mean that it all went into this seasons coffers. Because the chances of us getting to the quarter final again this year are negligible, it wouldnt surprise me if they have kept a good chunk of it back to add on to next seasons transfer budget.


Don't disagree but does seem like the money for this years budget (or at least this transfer windows budget) has almost all been spent, judging from what Hurst said. I can't see us having enough left in the tank to start getting in a bidding war for luke Armstrong put it that way.

Thought yesterday once again demonstrated our lack of physicality as several of our players are easily eased off the ball when in contact with the opposing side and it’s great that in a 19 year old Conteh we have someone at least capable of competing in this area (I also think Khouri and Green help in midfield when playing).

However, it’s still a major problem for our front three and this means we will have to play some very sharp, intricate passes to create goals and whilst we are looking much more able in doing this with the improved quality of player it’s a big ask plus limits our options. Not sure if Pyke will make a difference but I think on yesterdays brief cameo he’s not quite got the height and muscular physique I think we need.  

Just seems odd that Hursty referred to this as an issue several times last year in post match interviews but hasn’t seemed to have addressed it and I think the lack of height made us a little vulnerable from set pieces with a few scares in the first half from corners.

Our playing budget for this season (both capital for fees and revenue for playing budget) is completly gone.

Hurst has nothing left and we only have loans available if parent club pay wages. So we are looking at L1 / Champs sides loaning young players again like last year.

I can say with 100% certainty this is the case &
recent unfoseen costs re roof and stands not helped but not the cause.

Jason, Andrew & Debbie running it like a
business & its spent re transfer kitty & wage bill as a % of revenue at the limit.

Squad is ok tho, so UTM 👊

I believe they are trying to make the club sustainable.

This is the way it should be, and is the reason I actually want other clubs like Bury, Bolton, Derby etc. to go bust when they get themselves in trouble , otherwise it’s those like town (I.e. the vast minority) who will always be relegated and have bad times.

The vast minority would make it a majority...

They are running it like a sustainable business and hopefully ensures that my gradkids will have a club to love like I did.

100% no problem with this and £75k on Conteh shows PH backed when he asked
