I may have missed discussion of this or may have fallen asleep when it was mentioned (I am 51 and it is warm at the moment) but I did just force myself to read through this article about the Crawley NFT funding revolution. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62136553As mentioned I am old so don't involve myself in crypto and NFT's. Fuck know if it can work. Maybe the younger amongst us can explain how it's going to succeed / fail. |

Who knows if it will succeed or fail.
Essentially they sold stuff to people on line and brought in £3m that they otherwise would not have had.

The sale of Nichols was arranged prior to the game vs Swindon hence him not even being on the bench. All the first team have apparently been put "up for sale" as well, not surprised when the rumours there are saying Telford (an average player at best) is on excess of £5k per week, they have vastly exceeded their managable budget it seems. Buying the league only works if you sign good players and can support the wages for the entire season at least! no sympathy. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

We couldn't get near his wages there, and his injury would hamper that hugely. |

Good point about wages and he's certainly been unlucky with injuries throughout his career. |

This is how Bury eventually died. Blew their budget in th first 6 months and then couldn't pay wages. That was allegedly a deliberate act of sabotage to speed up its demise but this is probably/hopefully naive or incompetent. |

Agreed and too injury prone now to justify a contract. |
