If we do go down...

Sounds daft to use experience from the Football Manager game I know, but on there if you need to free up your wage budget slightly you loan your players out to League One/Two and get, say, 30% of their wages paid for the duration of the loan. I'm guessing that could happen in real life. Not ideal but frees up some money and gets a few players out of the building who aren't going to be playing and potentially upsetting the rest of the group.

If I had a mortgage, I'd put that on at least one of our regular players ending up at Bury or Rochdale.

 

Wouldn't you think that is a massive risk?. They would still be our players at the end of the season, we would have signed a load more, we may still have gone down, we may still not be able to move the gash ones on, and now we'd have 50 players who we can't shift, needing to pay them all on a L1 budget.

 

Sums up my feelings perfectly.

 

what really fecks me off is

The only time we have spent any decent amount of cash on players in recent years is when we have had 2 complete novices at the blown a large proportion of the Stones and Goldbourne cash on toilers, too many of the same type of player, not ready for the first team, projects and pointless expensive loanees.

And then when we do get someone decent in charge like Robins and now Wilson the cheque book is locked away in a cupboard and they are expected to work with the previous incumbents misfits!

They have to give danny some cash to spend and also allow him to move several players in and out. However, we dont want to be bedding too many players in at once or it will be the old 'gelling' argument again.

3 or 4 decent signings and offloading some of those not getting near the first team is required.
