Players Wages

expatriate · 14-03-2013, 13:33

The balance of players wages not paid so far this month will be paid in full tomorrow. I will ensure it happens.

I understand from the club this is, as Rob says, a temporary cash flow management issue.

Turning to the people on this board and in the town, our focus and our energy must be towards the team and their fight to ensure survival. we all have a part to play - by supporting the team. lets try to get as many of our friends and family to the ground on Saturday to support the boys and to support the Club.

Think of my donation (no strings attached, my contribution to the salaries is simply a donation and not a loan or anything else) as my way to help put GOOD ENERGY into the club and for us all to step up and proclaim our loyalty to the town and the club we love so much. Everyone at the club, from the Chairman and all directors down to the players needs our support.

Brilliant news, cheers Ilyas - hope you can make it to the game Saturday to help us cheer the lads on

A sincere thank you Ilyas - There isn't a club that has a greater supporter than you.

Thankyou Ilyas we appreciate all you do for the club. I personally was beginning to fear the worst happening again. You truly are a friend to the club and supporters. Please try and attend on Saturday to give your moral support.

to be honest I'm annoyed by this whole thing. Yesterday teatime we all trundled along blissfully unaware of any problem then BANG, we're skint again and can't afford to pay the players.

Ilyas, your generosity once again prevails ... but how has this come about? Fan directors and a board bigger than the United Nations is supposed to ensure that nothing sneaks up on us no?
Did this really need to be aired?
Can the club approach you directly for help rather than the whole world knowing our failings?
Was this meant as a pre six-pointer double header rallying call? If so it was in extremely poor taste as I don't exactly feel ready to roll up me sleeves for a trench war against relegation.

I sincerely hope this really is just a one-off cash flow problem because I feel that nobody would back another SOS.
If this problem is synonymous with deeper problems then buds need nipping. Let's show some honesty and transparency and tell the people that the club simply cannot function at Football League level and that relegation or not we will seek to play at a level we can afford. Nobody wants to relinquish FL status but if its going to potentially cost us the club every season then bite the bullet and drop down. All those fools who refuse that notion can ****** off and leave me to stand with the other 299 who used to brave the Unibond

what gets me now is why are we paying 29 players ?
