TheBigDog Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 2 hours ago, Lee Sinnott said: He's not wrong though. At risk of repeating myself, we have signed the captain of the reigning champions (who turned down a NL playoff side), we've signed a proven goalscorer who turned down a L2 club and we are about to sign the captain of a NL playoff side who has had offers to move down south in the EFL... If we do sign the captain of a NL playoff side then l, at the risk of repeating myself, would like to know where the money is coming from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of me winning the euromillions You don't take £30 quid from players wages for food and not pay caterers if you are putting money in (£30 is roughly what it was in 2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL parachute payment is £80K down from £450k in league two. The club are telling porkies to suit their narrative- which is, we’ll be fine we don’t need fans. The statement is utter bollocks. 12 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said: Maybe the club owner is putting money in... Can be the only explanation. Hardly any season tickets sold, very little sponsorship. And it sticks two fingers up at fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 4 hours ago, League one forever said: You’ve lost me. Do you think we’re big fish who will sign players for a promotion push. Or Do you think AL will cut his cloth and ultimately we’ll be left with poor quality. You’ve said both. It can’t be. Which one is it? Eyresey is tying himself in knots as you say. I'd only add that, if he thinks "the dynamics have changed" that's possibly true, but only in the sense that a roadsweeper chugs along to the end of a road and then turns round to chug back along the other side. No disrespect though to any new signings , hope they do well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dynamics have changed in the sense that we are now one of the biggest names in the league, something that hasn't been the case for a long time. The notion that we'll only be signing the dregs after everyone else has finished is being debunked faster than a PTB u-turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Kieran Maguire the EFL money (£400k in league two) gets halved for two seasons. We also lose 700k in PL solidarity payments. My initial point stands though. We have lost a hell of a lot money, and the only explanation can be AL putting money in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our time in L2 we were definitely one of the biggest names based on our history. Bar Bolton, only Bradford, Swindon, Bury and Notts Co could claim to have a history on par with ours.
