    Better use of the loan market.

    Kaspers Gorks, national team captain, and fairly recent premier regular for 2 teams, last transfer fee 900k, has just gone to Colchester on loan from Reading. The U's wage contribution? Nowt. Dolan could well be Readings manager this week, we have to look at such things. We must be well...

    Grimes latest.....?

    I hear tonight from a good provider of previous info, that it is NOT Swansea in the box seat, but 2 championship clubs. The fee mentioned was considerable, but to reach circa 1.75 a bunch of criteria will need to be met. No loan back, but the deal will not happen until very close to the window...

    Squad strengthening

    Amond at Morecombe. Portuguese top level experience, out of favour, who knows why, a not as good Curo, but years younger and very quick. A dozen or so goals before the seasons end. Again our leader can't get his strikers sorted. Doesn't fancy Nichols and Cummins, and one or the other just isn't...

    Time for 'Gardening Leave' and removal duties..............

    There is a little more to Mr Moxey's comment than has been picked up on..LO told me when he was elected chair, in HIS personal opinion, Tisdale should be served the two year notice period. I have no knowledge if that happened. IJN, yes, its a 2 year roller. It was 150K, reduced to 120K when we...

    I'm confused - Is it Tagg's Way or Perryman's Way?

    No Credy. I very much doubt it........something has to be done.

    Matt Grimes could be off...

    We will take just about anything, for anybody, from anybody......He is much more likely to go to a northern L1 club for circa 75k, with Sunderland et al having first refusal in a years time. We just have pray that the loony suits and cravats get a deal done with Curo sharp, as a player/striker...

    Will the Shakers bury Tiz?

    The trust need to give Tis notice now. If he walks, he does. There are a list of conference managers up to the job, who would kill for it, on half the wages. SP and Tagg can go as well. It's time. It's old, stale, too carpet slippers. Everything is slowly drifting away. It will end up being down...

    Cureton first half sub

    Not just very very harsh, but idiotic at best. In our L1 relegation season, he was suffering from an achilles injury that few other pro's would have played with but still put in as much as he could. In 2 seasons he scored 40+ goals, and in the L1 season he didn't start playing until October. Who...

    A message to the Trust board

    Hi Ed, I didn't stand last year due to a long period of serious ill health. I had to in effect retire, with autonomic neuropathy (acute diabetic complications). I have spent 10 weeks of this year in hospital. Happily, my health is a lot better, and I would be interested in standing at the next...

    Curb Your Enthusiam

    I love Curb. Have worked my way through all 8 box sets, and watched a number of episodes numerous times. Larry David is a genius, and can make the most mundane subjects really funny (which is the point)...Incidentally the actress who plays his wife Cheryl up to series 8, is now starring in...

    A message to the Trust board

    Firstly, mods, my apologies for re-posting a duplicate of a message I posted late last night. I have received a couple of PM's suggesting I re-post as a new thread, as it may have raised some interesting points, but was a little 'lost' at the back end of the Twitter thread. Please feel free to...

    Tagg in/ tagg out?

    We don't seem to be learning do we? Huxham was 'ECFC' through and through but couldn't do the job. The current people taking the low hanging fruit are largely similar. When BOSSERS join the board, they are given the talk, you know the toe the party line one, or else. It's jobs for the boys, and...

    Jon Challinor

    Released by York, on very low wages, would love to stay in the league. Has a little experience, and plays 2/3 positions. Disregarding the 10 or so mentions in the faves thread. Don't be surprised :-)

    Tisdale taking over 200k of the budget.....

    You recall totally wrong Pete. I told Exeweb that Curo was coming here. And got a pile of abuse for it. I then said a Rovers centre back was coming, got more abuse, same with a northern right back (though I got the club wrong ) so I gave up. As I will do again now. Thanks.

    Tisdale taking over 200k of the budget.....

    Sorry Fred, to have upset you, I just stated as I had seen and heard. TBF I did say I was no specialist in Div 2 management salaries, and the figures I have quoted came from my agent friend and were all bandied around mainly just a few weeks ago. I'm I'm not an expert at all. I hear some stuff...

    Tisdale taking over 200k of the budget.....

    Hi Fred, yeh, maybe a bit harsh. I don't like being called a liar though. I work in the industry as a consultant for 2 clubs, one of my close colleagues is an agent (with 2 players on City's books) I know people on the trust, and am close friends with one of our players. So I do 'hear'...

    Tisdale taking over 200k of the budget.....

    MJP, Pete, as usual is right. If rose tinters like you are certain the many on this thread IN THE KNOW are 'lying' then you are either a) an idiot, or b) happy to act like a large bird with your head firmly entrenched. Lob as many insults around as you like matey, I couldn't care less. You're a...

    Tisdale taking over 200k of the budget.....

    My information suggests that worryingly, the t/o for this year is less than 2.5. This would explain the club publishing the very basic figures, as this in public knowledge would rightly cause a pr nightmare. The problem on the management side, they were asked to take reductions less than 12...

    Tisdale taking over 200k of the budget.....

    Tis's new contract when we went to L1 was 150k p.a on a 2 year rolling contract. He took a pay cut when we were relegated. I don't know how much the pay cut was. There are some nutty guesses on salaries, Bauza was never on 1750 pw, or even close, and when I was told what half a dozen players...
