Aside from Fletcher and Fox, no loss to our side which provided such a pathetic showing last time out. Thank god we have Paxo and co to go out and replace them 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club don't don't ruin them, we have too many fans who will. Any young player and any new signings who step out to represent us in August need our support and encouragement. They are not to blame for this car crash of a club. Unfortunately it will take a miracle for things to change. It's not going to be pretty.

IF i had a £50kpa position and lost it, only to get one on £8kpa (part time) it would be gutting. i would consider it to be slightly above toilet paper in terms of a contract. the bulk of people on that list have secured a position in low or non league, the salary difference must be tragic, the alteration in lifestyle also. imagine their kids at school, for dad to fall from a professional footballer to non league? from your pov. it's a contract, but to me, many on here, and a hell of a lot of those footballers, i've a roll of those contracts hung in our toilet.
