I don't know if those numbers are correct, but some of that debt was written off rather than repaid. There was a significant amount of debt to the Mullens that was cleared as part of the settlement for the court case.
Could someone just draw up a table of who was owed what at the end of each year? I'll stick it on an FAQ thread, it's debated ad nauseum as it is. |

Minor point, but I think players that were already here do count towards the salary cap, but at the divisional average rather than their full salary (wherever this is higher than the average). Someone correct me if I’m wrong on that.
That point aside, the standout issue for me is that we have massively prioritised quantity of players over quality. If we define senior players either as those who have made more than a couple of league appearances or were new signings, we have by my count 26 of them, supplemented by kids (who are low cost, but not ‘free’ by any stretch).
That’s a huge squad, in fact it’s bigger than Premier League sides are allowed to register to play in league games.
I don’t think it’s that difficult to believe that we are averaging around £55k a year across those, putting us close to the cap. And therein lies the rub for me - an average of c. £1k per week for your senior players feels more in line with our budgeting in the conference days than with a League Two side heading into 2021.
To put it into context, every time we have 11 senior players on the pitch, we have 15 not on it. Not affecting the game. Not scoring goals. Not so winning matches.
I felt throughout the summer that much of our recruitment felt bizarre in how we went about it. I get the impression that we anticipated that Covid would have a far more disruptive effect on player turnover than has played out. As it stands, that’s looking like a serious miscalculation.
I said in a separate thread that after tomorrow night’s game we have a run of six fixtures which look more conducive to winning points, given the current league positions of the opposition. I will reserve my judgement until after those games, however should we fail to pick up more than a handful of points then we are in a real pickle.
I think our Board have a lot to take account for but my assumption is IH gets a budget and decides how to spend it. He was/is clearly obsessed with Sat/Tue rotation something that IMHO putting a squad together so late was always going to be risky in terms of on the pitch cohesion. All that said I wish they’d just STFU and get on or get out. |

The comment about professional players being told to get a second job, though, where is the source for that? Even if it's true if someone is the first person to introduce the "fact" into the public domain then they have to justify it.
a plausible suggestion was made on Facebook; a letter would've gone out to all furloughed employees explaining what was happening, what it meant and what they could or could not do. In many organisations it was pointed out that an employee could take another job whilst on furlough, so long as they made themselves available to return to their main place of work |

Why has Mr. Fenty taken money out of our club when we haven't finished in the top of half of Div. 4 for 14 years? (under his leadership)
Probably because he put in over £2 million of hos own money to keep us afloat. |

It didn't stop us sinking into Non League. |

Regarding the 2nd job rumour for one of my players. Has a part-time fan read Shaun Pearsons article regarding him delivering takeaways in the lockdown and still think he plays for us OR is it just complete boulderdash made up in an attempt to further infuriate supporters.
Being a full time club why on earth would we ask what is now considered a senior member of the squad to get a part time job??
On 2 other notes i would like to add from both sides of the spectrum......
1. Why do certain fans think they need to know, understand or make up stories about the running of the club, decisions made, finances of, or boardroom decisions. Its none of our business.
2. Why does the chairman feel it necessary to have to explain himself and the club everytime one of these Chinese whispers is plastered on social media. The majority of this rubbish is untrue and should be ignored.

And how many millions of £s has his mismanagement cost us? |

You're right. We should just keep forking out money every year to be constantly disappointed and let down by the incompetence of the current board. In their defence, they've only had almost two decades to get to grips with running a football club, I'm sure they'll get the hang of it soon. |
