Surely it shud be us after him!

"Northampton manager Colin Calderwood says that Rushden and Diamonds midfielder Andy Burgess is a possible transfer target in January.
Calderwood told BBC Radio Northampton: "We have not make a bid but we are aware of Rushden's situation and especially his situation.

"Andy will become a free agent in the summer and because of this they may take a transfer fee for him in January.

"He is one of a number of players that we are looking at." "

We looked at him in the past, but Northampton are the money bags of the basement and probably pay more than we could.

..and....what exactly are we going to buy him with, peanuts? Mark D's favourite Cheese?

well if we dont spend something its gonna cost us more being relegated

spend what?

I think its rather simple, we have no money....even if we sell players we still wont have any transfer funds. I dont think we will ever buy a player for money again

I thought he was an Andy King target? Iffy wouldn't necessarily be after the same players as the previous manager eh? Because he has ideas of his own? And yeah, we can't afford him anyway

well maybe we need to sell someone like O Hanlon or Ifil then to raise some cash ?

How will that help?

I think we should put our entire first team squad on longer better paid contracts.  Double their win bonuses, take a bit of pressure off them.  Then we can bring back the decent company car scheme, so they feel more important.

That'll fix the problem.

Because neither O Hanlon or Ifil has shown anything at all this season .. grossly under acheived ...

Comyn Platt should become first choice with Leigh Henry as cover ... and then the money could be used on strengthening a pathetically poor and weak midfield

What money, we have no money even if we sold Sean O'Hanlon or Jerel Ifil (who would buy them?) the money would go straight into the boards pockets.

Andy King didnt see any of the Sam Parkin transfer money (however much it was, but more than we would get for Ifil & O'Hanlon doubled) over the summer, so why would now be any different

we have no money
we will never buy a player for money again

Classic floyd!

The board needs to let funds be made available

The board may not be able to make funds available. The priority always has to be paying off creditors.

true ben - thats whys we are going down .. you can blame King and Iffy but in reality THAT is why

never going to happen though, esp. with the remaining payment needing to be made end of this season I think.

Ask wee Willie to dip his hand in his pocket  :evil:

hed rather cut his hands off! true fan tho eh!

The club loses about £750k a season (more in the past accounts).

SSW's last injection was actually a loan secured on his land, suggesting his pockets have been emptied.  A certain construction company being the provider of the actual cash.

The Board are employees, not rich people investing, just employees running the business for SSW.

If we get any money it is best put away to cover the final CVA payment in 2007.  Can't see out creditors being very happy if we splashed cash on players before settling their debts...and that would lead to a winding-up order.

roberts we signed when everyone said we would never spend.

fallon we done the same.parkin we spent when they didnt think we would.

people said we couldnt get mooney on his wages. we did though.

begining of this season everybody was saying we couldnt get thorpe and cureton on the wages they are on but we did.
just pointing out that though we are allways skint we still manage to get some cash from somewhere

...but curo and thorpe were shite, we need battling strikers, not ones that need service to their feet. we cant/wont/havent done that for a very, very long time.

i think carsons pockets are too deep for his little stumpy arms, hence the lack of money he's put into this club.

we got to the playoffs when we were skint as well.

burgess isn't the sort of player we need and who on earth is going to buy any of our players when we're bottom of the league?

whether they are shite or not people said we couldnt afford them

right, so with that in mind, we can get wank, useless players to fit in our wage budget. that fills me with so much confidence...

Most of it was apperance based though, so really we've probably paid peanuts for him. Plus I expect we bought Roberts last year knowing Parkin would be off the following season, the money spent on Roberts in my opinion was taken out of the Parkin transfer fee when we recieved it. The idea was gamble now on Roberts so we can have him and Parkin in the same team, more chance of getting promoted, if we dont then we sell Parkin and that will fund the Roberts deal. If that makes sense



We were doing well and gates were up



Birmingham were still paying most of his wages though, when it came to paying his full wages we couldnt, then he left

Well Iffy said in his match reaction on saturday that he is lookin to bring in a few new faces, in the january transfer window. He cant mean loans as we have used all our loan signins this season.

I dont think we have somehow....Iffy will have to bring in loans, he doesnt have any other options

A loan isn't an option though. We have used up all 8. The only way to get another loan however, is if we sign one of our on loan players (Gurney?), but again, that obviously means spendin money....

:soapy tit wank:  :soapy tit wank: it aint that bad .with a bit of luck cureton will be back scoring goals for us

Loans are classed as long term and short term though?

God knows what the difference is, but we must have some loans left otherwise Iffy wouldnt have brought in Mikalonda & Brown, it was would be stupid to use up all our loans before the end of the year!!! stupidity even beyond us I'd hope

Why'd he come here, we'll be down in that fucking league next season anyway.
