I'm amazed myself that we are assembling what looks like a decent squad on paper.
but it must be in budget I guess. or payday loans !

That perception is understandable. We were on the back page of a tabloid newspaper during the early stages of lockdown. The court stuff created the impression of poverty which, in fairness, we still dont know the outcome of.
I agree with this. Us football fans are all guilty of assuming we know what is happening at clubs based on random reports we see |

Similar things could be spoken about Northampton regarding £10m+ gone "missing" which was over the back pages in Jan of this year and has resurfaced again in July. Surely, even if having the perception regarding STFC, a NTFC fan might be wise to be a little more quiet regarding finances. Look East couldn't get enough of it  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-53234625 |

Northampton fans by default are a bit thick.

I know several clubs were sponsored by Wonga over a period of years. Newcastle, Hearts and our NW friends Blackpool come to mind but which was the club that took out a Wonga loan to fund the club? |

As Glenn said, T Smith has the 9 shirt. I personally think that's about it for now. Maybe another couple of squad fillers but I wouldn't be surprised if that was it. I'm very happy with how the close season has gone... |

Gone unnoticed I think but Pitman seems to have taken Matty Palmer number. May just be that he wanted the shirt number as he has worn it a few times I think but interesting to see what that could mean for him

Certainly doesn't look that overweight to me.  Not sure if it's known Donohue is training with us

RW has confirmed on multiple occasions. He'll sign a deal on or around September 20th.
