Adver News: Swindon is Macca's first choice

[luckyluke699]

We are saving 3k a week now ferry is gone and he is club captain so worth offering him a decent contract i'd have thought?

The playing budget has reportedly been slashed from around 4 - 4.5 million per year, to 2 - 2.5 million per year.

Ferry's £2.8k per week (£145k per year) is but a drop in the ocean of the money they need to save overall. I think we should expect a "core" squad of reasonable players with plenty of youths coming up the ranks to pad things out!

I can't see McCormack being on more than Ferry. So we should try and keep him, otherwise the only CM's we're left with are Navarro and Louis Thompson...

and Lee Cox

The McCormack situation feels a bit like the Douglas one in 2010.  Player states publicly that he wants to stay, but is offered a lower wage so goes elsewhere.

Has Louis Thompson already signed a new contract, because I thought his also ran out, but there's been no mention of him?

and Lee Cox

Injured again I believe?

Thompson has been offered a one year deal.

Cox had an operation a few weeks ago, unless he decides to try his hand at basejumping during the summer I'd hope he's fit for pre-season

Didnt that article say his wages would be increased to 140k a year if we extended it?

Ah thanks.

Cox does seem a bit injury prone.  We seem to have a few of them on our books at present, which isn't going to help the financial situation.

Cox will be back around October.

Douglas said on twitter last month that he wasn't actually offered a new contract from us, he didn't want to give us a bad word at the time.

PdC saw TAH as a possible midfielder. Not sure what is happening with TAH, but I take silence as bad news in these sort of things. Shame, because when you're operating on a relative shoestring...you don't want depreciating assets.

All the best Macca.

Can we rename this forum as "THE TOWNEND.COM 4.5 MILLION TO 2.5 MILLION BOLLOCKS" every fucking thread ends up discussing it
