cashflow must be tighter than a nuns chuff if we are risking holding off until August and potentially losing a key player for the sake of a month's wonga.
That is all very Lee Poweresque. He was known to save money in such ways when he was with us. The cashflow situation must be astoundingly bad if that is ever remotely true though. |

I really hope it isn't true, but apparently the old CFO told people when he left the club was almost trading insolvent.

I could believe us being on the bread line, but also wonder about that and whether it's lead to distorting his views towards the club. directors would be very nervous of testing while insolvent as they become personally liable |

Greg Norman was his name?
I saw a tweet come up from his daughter saying he was the one who designed this seasons away kit before he left.

He was the fella that was basically doing multiple roles for a while wasn't he? Perhaps what he said was tongue in cheek because of how hard he was worked or something? |

17 professional footballers on the books the day before the final friendly. At least two, maybe three of those crocked. The optimistic view is that the next 7 days are going to be a fun time to be a Town fan!

yeah, solidarity payment.
point is, that's bugger all to do with us, and unless we are paying them less than they were on it is no disadvantage to the player either way.
cashflow must be tighter than a nuns chuff if we are risking holding off until August and potentially losing a key player for the sake of a month's wonga.
without a clear way out of this I'm getting concerned Clem isn't the man to take us forward quickly enough. But admittedly I don't know what plans there are to get us out of firefighting mode, and that's for another thread
I don't think that has been the issue. We have been beat to the signature by a few clubs for players as we all know so if that was the case we wouldn't have made them offers. I think we just need to believe Flynn when he says he is waiting |

The current situation is more than panic stations for me if we're heading in to the season with this squad. A signing or two isn't going to sort it either. We need 6 or 7 to compete close to the play offs this season. |

I honestly think we will have that 6 or 7 by the end of the windo, 3 for next week. |

Mostly defenders, one striker and Kinsella and i'll remove my finger from the panic button until at least 5pm 5th August  |

Murphy Mahoney (2)

Tom Clayton (33)
Reece Devine (9)
Marcel Lavinier (23)
George McEachran (16)
Jake Cain (41)
Jacob Wakeling (49)
Tom Brewitt (34)
Combined...
