Re: Aministration
 

i,m slowly getting that way myself. had reached the point last season where if stanley were away and my lad wasn,t coming up to stockport i just gave it a miss. the last couple of months has certainly not got me excited about the return of football as i thought it would. daily updates from some club or player about its return to action when businesses are closed down and we are in a type of house arrest has left a dirty taste in my mouth.

Swindon Town saying after league 2 finished the season that starting the next one will be a far more difficult decision, without financial aid from somewhere having had discussions with fellow chairman fears we could lose 30 to 40% of clubs at lower level.

Re: Aministration
 

Mixed messages all over the place. Mansfield for instance sorted their retained list and have kept every player they had one year options upon.

Probably can't shed bad habits and still gambling with little or no budget or the owners pockets.

Nigel Clough apparently being replaced at Burton Albion due to financial uncertainty.

Re: Aministration
 

eventually we will find out how much wolf crying and how much truth there is from statements from clubs about their finances.

Re: Aministration
 

I very much doubt that given the recent appointment of Dave Sharpe as Director of Football. He ran a very tight ship at Wigan.

Latest idea from the EFL for next season?

Re: Aministration
 

Salary cap not a bad idea not sure about 20 man squads how do you cope with injuries and suspensions?

Re: Aministration
 

Agree with you on that Andy, would you gamble on 2 keepers or take up 1 of the 2 spots outside match day 18 with one.
Interesting it mentions 8 home grown academy players within that.
Savin, Perritt, Sykes, Mohammed, Williams, Ogle, Gilboy, Martin have all had 1st team exposure of some sort; although does it really imply only a further 12 players are permitted?!?

Re: Aministration
 

Yes it doesn't make it clear is it a 20 or 28 man squad if it's only 12 a lot of players out of work by the way don't think Gilboy came through our academy.

Re: Aministration
 

Stand corrected Gilboy did.

Re: Aministration
 

Agreed not clear at all. Alex O’Neill another one, although Andy Scott came in and signed pro contract so he wouldn’t count which is a shame.

Re: Aministration
 

Massive jump up from current rule of having 1 in match day 18.

Re: Aministration
 

Scott still under contract I believe, problem with everyone having small squads match day 18,s would become predictable.
