Ryan Harley at the game yesterday?

[KellowsLoveChild]

Could we really afford to resign him though? Hes on big bucks and we are skint!
I believe the figure is around £2,000 a week.
Some lateral thinking maybe to get the funds.
For example, you find 100 fans willing to pay £20 a week to fund Ryans wages.
In return they recieve tickets to all home ties including the slime derby and any cup games.
This would then effectively cost the club nothing and we gain a great player who only seems to perform under Tisdale.
Food for thought maybe?

The fans can't keep paying out money - it's not a charity

Or we get our arses out there and find a new midfielder rather than going back to what we had.

For those wages I'd say thanks but no thanks. Little point in selling Grimes and replacing him with someone who is not going to make us any money.

 

[CREDYGRECIAN]

I agree can't we go out get somebody new - noble is back , next Harley in a minute Tully will be right back

 

[KellowsLoveChild]

Completely agree, its not a charity but it is a fan owned football club, until we can get in what we really need, a business man with a lot of money, that means finding funds falls on us surely?
The other alternative i guess is we sell the likes of Grimes and quite a few after him and end up just staying afloat.
Its just an idea to bring in money, if not harley offer it to grimes or someone else, either way we need money to improve our squad.

Like it or not, we're a selling club. To stay afloat we need to sell a youth product every year, so if a club comes in with a £500k bid for Grimes with some sell-ons we should take it. If we can then sign Harley, excellent.

Grimes IMO is a million pound played

How many other league 2 clubs have this kind of individual ??

I very much doubt many league 2 clubs have owners who pull out cash at the drop of a hat, can you prove me otherwise ??

Most league 2 clubs struggle through each season with considerable financial restraints.

 

[manc grecian]

I've no problem selling Grimes but would rather we tried discovering a new Harley or Wheeler. That's how we are going to make money long term and will help avoid the situation where we've not sold a player for 2 years.
