Apparently Donaldson still under contract with Bradford City until end of July And more on the spat with Bradford. https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/19455050.bantams-unhappy-way-york-handled-donaldson-signing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destined to end badly that. Piece of piss writing those introductory statements. People are easily pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 On some of these non-league signings people are surprised about, I've read that there isn't much difference in terms of finances or facilities between top non-league sides and League 2 sides. Also, for those clubs lower down players can combine day jobs and less travel with still playing. My second team just signed a 30-year-old National League playoff winner with plenty of league experience, and they're down at level 7 (step 3) in the pyramid.

I'm still trying to work out which step my new local (I moved last November) side is in but I know it will be the lowest level I've paid to watch!

FourFourTwo magazine has Swindon to be relegated with Scunthorpe finishing bottom. Latics predicted final position is 20th just one place behind the mighty Sutton Utd… As for the other end of the table - Newport top and Bradford second… oh, hang on… aren’t they our first two opponents?

I was making comparisons to the start of Abdallah's tenure and the excitement of a 'new dawn'. History suggests it usually ends badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few of us had serious reservations before the takeover had been completed, especially after him dumping a load of players on Sheridan when Corney was still in charge...
