hi stan that sounds like quite a big accusation there. can you back it up? As someone who is so keen on honestly and transparency can you let us know firstly the going rate for a league 2 manager then how you know Flynn is on 50k more than that rate ?Stan A.

You didn't but you could still answer his question.

This seasons League 2 Champions Accrington Stanley spent £0 on agent fees and have a smaller player budget than us. It can be done.
Great ideas. I did suggest something similar a year or so ago. It works like this;Beechwood Boy wrote:NGR you don't 'arf come up with some good ideasnewgroundrodney wrote:I know this is a re-hash of a post / idea I gave a good while ago, but I hope it might spur some into action.
I want us to think of the Club as on of our mates, one of our family. When we go out say, once a week, I'd like us to consider buying the club "an invisible pint", or for those who don't do booze, it could be an "invisible cup of coffee".....
Let's say in each case, the drink in a good quality place costs £3.46.......
£3.46 x 52 = £180 or thereabouts...... so, £180 = £15 a month.
We could donate £15 a month to the B&R Scheme......effectively we could "Buy The Club A Pint"...
Just think of the club as one of your mates.
Can we do that?...... 1000 of us doing so, would put £180k into the club each year.
The £15-a-month works out at only £3.75-a-week. Expanding on your original idea, £15-a-month could be a minimum amount, with supporters donating either as much as they want/can afford, or an increasing fixed scale per month, ie. £20, £25, £30 etc. There could also be a family donation, e.g. £25 for two family members, £40 for three etc.

My view is that we, and indeed every other club at our level should say, ' this is what we are paying, take it or leave it.' Agents are parasites. They put nothing into the game, they just bleed finance.Percy plunkett wrote:The question asked was,how do we sign players if most of them use agents,and how can we sign players,average or not,if we don't pay the going rate.Over to you Brendan.
