Udoh and Bell off the wage list, Roberts added but there should still be some left over for another signing or 2? Rainey, Slew also gone. Need to get Brown and Waters off and experiencing too.
Lets hope we get some real quality in assuming there is now the capacity? I see Fylde have signed two on loan one from Peterborough and the other from Wigan, that’s what we’re up against. There should be loads Available now with contracts up in a few months, players will want to be in the shop window.
PS any news on Archer? We need fit loan players!

We've had players on loan from Burnley (Mitchell) and Derby (Zanzala). They weren't much cop for us. |

Mahon is back from injury and is barely getting a look-in. Why oh why for the life of me isn't he??? Clearly the most talented player at this club.

In response to this post, when is the last time you saw Craig Mahon play well for us? I'll tell you what I think, last season before his injury, about a calendar year ago. Some people think we should play player and sign players based on past achievements and history of playing for us, a few recently mentions we should sign Asamoah! Talk about being stuck in 2008. |

When he came on at Guiseley he gave the ball away every time, and didn't control it once. If you were MB you wouldn't be in a hurry to play him after that. We know he's better than that, but all the others did their jobs well that day. He looked the odd one out. |

Rhys Murphy has been released by Forest Green, I would try and get him in, fits the profile of a target man being 6ft 1

We've had players on loan from Burnley (Mitchell) and Derby (Zanzala). They weren't much cop for us. I wouldn't necessarily assume that the budget is spread equally over the season and that because a couple of loanees leave that this leaves space for others to come in. Wouldn't be surprised if the budget was front loaded with the hope that cup income might provide a boost to the later part of the season. |

We only got half of Sam's fee upfront. Has the other half gone too?

We only got half of Sam's fee upfront. Has the other half gone too? IIRC, this has been discussed before and no-one knows for certain but the best we could get to is that half of the SH fee was paid up-front with the second half being paid in the following financial year to avoid showing a big, single year profit, and paying large amounts of tax on such. However the fact we might not yet have had the second part of the SH fee, doesn't mean it is still available to us. We know that money is coming and when, so it's already accounted for in the budget and committed to foreseen expenses (players wages). |

Isnt this what our 'rainy day' fund should be used for.... survival is a must IMHO, a firm NO! The rainy day fund is for when the shit hits the fan and the club is in danger of going bust (i.e. unexpected tax bill, ground burns down etc). We could easily spunk the rainy day fund (if it still exists) on players in an attempt to stay-up, still go down and then we've really not got a pot to piss in. That would bust the club and isn't what the £100k should be used for. IMHO football clubs go up and they go down, we shouldn't waste vital back-up funds in a vain attempt to try and avoid that. |

Spent a load on players like Parkin and still went down. |
