Quoted from toontown


Clubs should be able to spend gifts from directors too, its where directors loan clubs money they can't pay back that there are problems.


I don't think they should, otherwise, you will end up with an arms race situation. That's what the salary cap is there to avoid. But it's a restraint of trade not to be able to spend money you have earned as an organization through your normal business. Salary caps should be based on turnover.

Andre Gray?  
Off the top of my head, Geoff Horsfield, Barry Hayles (Bristol Rovers) and Nicky Forster (Reading) as well, the latter two scoring good goals at Blundell Park, the ones you don't forget.

Siriki Dembélé not even in any league aged 20, plucked out of Nike Academy.

I admire your optimism, if it takes us 3-5 years to get out of this division this time around, regardless of any manager it will be an achievement in my opinion, as this league is a lot lot stronger than when we left it.


I wasnt talking about promotion, just replying to someone who was wishing that wed develop our own talent like posh do

Nicky Forster signed for Gillingham when he was 18! Must be thinking of somebody else.

Horsfield and Hayles were good players but are well over a decade older than Vardy. I tend to think that, in the modern era with the media opportunities available and video of even lower level matches often recorded, players with ability will be able to tout themselves around a bit better - showreels and so forth.

From what I've seen over the years, they buy cheap from the lower leagues, then sell on for a tidy profit, they have a good record for it.

He was younger, but, yeah another player sold for a decent fee out the non-league.

Scunny did it with the likes of Hooper, Keogh, Sharp etc. Once they stopped doing that successfully the wheels started to come off.

It's a good strategy to boost our revenue. If we received £600k for a player, we should be putting that evenly into our budget for the next 3 years in my opinion.

Never mind Messi, Neymar and Mbappe at PSG, a few silver tongued phone calls from Hursty and we could bring some of the band back together to form our own free scoring Trident attack made up of Michael Jeffrey, Martin Butler and big, bad beer-guzzling Bazza Conlon.

Quoted from Bigdog


£900k

Which amplifies the necessity to get out of this division this season. As it stands, from next season, even with a vastly superior income, we won't be able to outspend virtually any club in the National League, the likes of Kings Lynn, Dover, Maidenhead etc will enjoy a level playing field with us. It's a very scary prospect..

This season is more critical than some of the be patient, vacuous virtue signalling long term project claims.. that's for sure..


I’ve got a virtue signal for you. It’s this but the other way round.

✌️


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.

Scott Boden replaces Tshimanga at Boreham Wood. Is it time to cry again?
