Yeah but we have to wait until after Scortland joins the EU then we can have it. Wonder if the EU would treat Scortland like it is treating Catalonia?

Get out more or something. I don’t need to explain it. Bad/poor players get signed all the time. You need to finally show some balls and say what you suspect.

kowenicki Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I’ll reserve my own personal toys out of the pram reaction until after the transfer window closes (in 2 months!), or at least until after we’ve played our first competitive game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest he's out of pocket if he's runnning up loans as I can't imagine how they will be repaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 56 minutes ago, League one forever said: There is no way on gods green earth league/tv/gate covers wages IMO. I don’t think any average fan (me included) realises how much shit players are paid, never mind your better players. There is a reason most league one/two clubs pay players late. . . In addition to this he’s appointed numerous staff recently. Trips to Morroco for 30 +plus arent cheap. He’s beaten other clubs for wages. He’s announced plans for investment in the training ground. I’ve no idea who is paying for all this but If it is AL there is no way he’s making money or breaking even. My worry is for the club as a whole- There is money going into the club, but the worry as you say is it in the form of loans? IF it is AL’s money, then sit back and put the cricket on. His money. His club. Read this.... the last time we submitted our accounts [16/17], we lost £472k..... other, better run clubs, break even or make a profit..... it is his club, he can do what he wants with it.... but if what he does with it is overspend on substandard footballers for our level, without covering the losses with his own money, we'll be heading for non-league or administration / liquidation, while his agent acquaintances make some [you can speculate on the scale] money from the deals they strike with him/us......
