Sad, but true, LLS...and now even more disturbing news in today's NLP - Coley is raising the spectre of selling Craney and Roberts when the January transfer window opens, if gates don't improve. To quote him, "We are not that rich that we can turn down big offers. They have been outstanding so far and I fear some League club might take a plunge in January." The gate for the Halifax match suddenly assumes a new importance, in this light.
Although I can well understand Coley's disappointment with the response from the town, I really can't see why we should have to sell them. It was only last week that Eric reassured us that the club was on a sound financial footing. To quote him, "Obviously at the start of the season when we prepare our budgets we don't take it for granted that the team will do well. In fact we have to ensure that if we are struggling we can still cover our overheads with the lower gates that would reflect that situation." Or to quote Rob, "The football club have no loans or mortgages."
So, unless either player expressed a strong desire to leave, why do we need to sell them anyway?
