BS4 on Tour... Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Am I right in thinking that if Wayne Rooney gave one week’s wages they’d be saved? I’m not saying he should do that, it’s nothing to do with him...but if that’s true it just shows the ridiculous imbalance in the finances regarding ‘modern football’...

Aaron-Bcfc Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Remember Bury begging to be saved a few years back and they ultimately were. Roll forward a few years later and once again they're spending far beyond their means and running up huge debts. Before long the same thing will happen again. For that reason I'm very hesitant of donating to a poorly ran football club. (Would be different if it was City). Ultimately though if it all goes tits up the fans make a phoenix club and they find their way back in the end (See Wimbledon, Hereford, Darlington, Chester in recent years).

Bristol Rob Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Sorry, but I'm happy to put my hand in my pocket for a worthy cause. And I have nothing against Hartlepool... but... Any interest I have in helping them is immediately extinguished the moment someone mentions a player who could save them. It isn't their responsibiliy. It's the responsibility of their (likely) millionaire owner who has taken them beyond a position HE/SHE/THEY are comfortable supporting them, but it is THEIR decisions that has got them in to that position. Just because someone earns strong money they can't be expected to use it just because it's football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think it’s only fair to point the finger of blame at Darrell Clarke here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was fuming about the mIs-management, and how a small, locally subsistent club had got into such a mess. I think she said they were still get 3k crowds.

kiwicolin Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 What ever happen to the old days , when a big club comes in and buy a youngser from the lower leagues. Usually that will keep the club going for a couple of seasons. How times have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
