BP1960 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, Sloshed Joe said: How we now feeling about the (non) signing of Ryan Colclough a few months after he’s joined Chesterfield? Looks like he’s in great form for them with plenty of goals & assists. Doesn’t rankle so much this season, but should Chesterfield miss out on promotion this season, he looks like he’ll still be one of the best players in the league for them next season. That’ll be more frustrating should we get our act together and be challenging in the top 7. Could have been a difference maker for us (goals / top quality service for Nuttall, Fondop & Reid) I was told Colclough past off the field problems, same with Linney who I also recommended.

I think the club knew all about Coleclough before your recommendation...and he did jack shit in Jan and Feb for Chesterfield as they bombed. Seems like he is coming into somedecent form now though... Trust in Frank....Coleclough will turn out to be a bad egg.... Edited March 16, 2023 by Londonboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 "National League players might strike over changes made by the Football Association to contracts for next season, Oldham's Peter Clarke has said. New conditions see injured non-league players only paid in full for 12 weeks. Clubs can then reduce wages to statutory sick pay - £99.35 a week - until they are fit, or up to 28 weeks." www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 It's going to put a bigger gulf between the traditional non-league teams and the league teams. Not to mention how difficult it'll be to attract players who'll no doubt be happier keeping a bench warm or sat in the stiffs than risking his mortgage payments should he get a 2-3 month layoff.

astottie Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 As well as Foster and Waters Wrexham have signed Malik Dijksteel today from Whitby. Brother of Middlesbroughs Anfernee. I've seen him many times over the past 2 years and he's incredibly skillfull. Technically outstanding. However also one of those who sometimes you see him and you've forgotten he's on the pitch. Surprised Wrexham have gone for him. Good luck Malik lad. WAWAW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really want to see players going round being terrified of getting injured because they risk not being able to provide for their families.

What does that cover ? Could wages be covered ? I'm sure the league would have looked into this. (well you would hope they have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
