Re: gripe
who said we have most of the players on 3 year contracts? Boco has just signed a new contract (one of the best and most rated players) that will only take him to June 09.
Why would we go bankrupt if we got relegated? Most clubs who go down to the conference have big wage bills and big grounds to maintain. We have neither. Our ground is not out of place in the conference but is still one of the smaller ones. We won the conference with the 15th highest wage bill FFS, Eric will not pay more than we can afford but will also leave room for manouevre, no doubt if we go down then the wages do also. FACT. And we wouldn't necessarily lose all our best players because we do not perhaps have players that everybody covets. The main two would be Boco - new contract, looking to buy a house here and loves it at Accrington, and Paul Mullin who at 32 years old does not need the move, would not command a fee, and within reasonable constraints does not need the money. Our squad would remain other than who Coley wants to leave IF we go down. Finances would not be a problem because we dont have years worth of expectation from high season ticket sales, we are not dependant on TV and FL money, we do not have a high wage bill, we would not suffer a significant crowd fall (if anything it would possibly rise! as it certainly seemed to drop when we go tin the league due to segragation/bar problems).
You've been quite good recently Mr Bananaman, but this week you seem to have it that everything is bleak and the club is on the verge of collapse. I aint wearing rose tinted specs (seems to be the in vogue statement at the mo), I'm just being realistic. Why is it either all or nothing with you? why cant people just accept that this season we are in a battle and we or may not come through it? Lets just see how it pans out and then deal with the fallout, JC seems to think this would be a bigger acheivement than winning the conference and I am inclined to believe him. Its progress boys, but not as we know it
