Title: Exeter City now in trouble. Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, 11:10:27 Exeter City are the latest club in financial difficulties after needing a loan from the PFA to pay this months wages, it will only get worse with no fresh income over the next couple of months too.

Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, 11:37:14 We'll see several clubs drop off the radar soon enough. As proud as we are of our league system, it simply cannot sustain the way it's going at the moment.
Hopefully we won't be one of the fallen. Title: Re: Exeter City now in trouble. Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, June 3, 2014, 12:22:00 We'll see several clubs drop of the radar soon enough. As proud as we are of our league system, it simply cannot sustain the way it's going at the moment. This is very true, caused in the main by absolutely stupid transfer fees and incredibly high wages.Hopefully we won't be one of the fallen. When a player in League 2 can command a wage as much as £5k per week (as we had under PdC allegedly, and Notts County paying Kasper Schmiechel £15k a week in the same league) then its going to bring financial ruin as other clubs try to compete on the wages front to bring in better players or risk being left behind.

Title: Re: Exeter City now in trouble. Post by: tans on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, 15:22:09 Is this Exeter City that are playing a match in Brazil in July to celebrate an anniversary. Guess that costs nothing I wonder if this is the team mentioned in the Secret Footballer book who plead poverty every couple of years, a big team comes to play a friendly and the buckets come out etc. Manager highest paid in the division. (Saying that, that sounds a bit like us!) Title: Re: Exeter City now in trouble. Post by: THE FLASH on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, 17:31:58 There for the grace.....
Stupid wages are the root of most of it...and...clubs like us at a certain time paying them... |
