Re: Joey Barton

I've got to admit I am jealous of how a two bob outfit like Fleetwood have managed to buy their way to this level (and probably one more). However there are league rules and the money they must be spending surely outweighs their incomings? Fair do's they have banked up to £1.8m from selling Vardy but the players they are signing must be on fantastic wages for this level. For someone like Barton to get anywhere near actually playing for them has got to be out of reach.

Good set-up at Fleetwood I agree, and the way the Chairman is spending cash is little different to what I'd do should I win a 20 week Euromillion rollover. Reports I've seen in the past would suggest the fella is there for the long haul, but I wonder if he has any inkling just how much money has to be thrown at a club in this league. A non league club can be financed for relatively small amounts of brass, but you've got to add at least another zero in the FL. If Fleetwood aren't sustainable he'll find out very quickly
