Don’t see what this Fairgame stuff really solves. Any redistribution of funds will just see higher player wages in lower divisions. Unless wage caps are put in place it will never change [Link]

09:33 today DO 👍👍

About as much chance of automatic promotion as there is of Jackson putting out an attacking entertaining team the last 2 league games DO😂

So if we win on Saturday and bradford and Walsall don't , the 3rd automatic promotion position could still be ours!

Well the disclaimer says it isn't true JAW. It uses estimated wages and every player who has been there for part of a season. And it doesn't say how t deals with loans where they probably have no idea what percentage of the wage is picked up by the League 2 club.

Top half of L1 is much more significant. Birmingham are estimated to be spending £16m (1st in budget table), Rotherham £7m (4th).

Even *if*

Even those figures are unreliable it shows how small the differences are between L2, ie a few hundred grand between playoffs and midtable mediocrity. Simply looking at the positions in the league table is facile. Good management/recruitment/culture will surely trump a few hundred grand.

Would suggest that anything that puts Morecambe as spending more than Doncaster is pretty unreliable.

JaW: Col U have the most expensive forwards. I wonder who's filling their pockets there then🤔

Anyone know if this is true? [Link] If it is it shows that Doncaster, Walsall, Grimsby all below us in budget table. Notts and Port Vale very similar to us. Alongside Carlisle being at the top shows budget means nothing in this division.

Pretty sure Woodyard gave similar feedback to fans and that didn’t end well.

Johnson was calming things down, let’s not keep repeating crap and making it fact.

I have a spare adult ticket for the NE corner for this Sat v Port Vale. £26 cost price. Post on here if interested.

RK - "Drinking and showing off how hard you are in front of your mates probably a factor too". That's enough of the players...

Drinking and showing off how hard you are in front of your mates probably a factor too

Some of our fans gve it to the players, can't complain when they get some back. For me it's down to the management. Im Probably spoilt because we had such good management in the 80s 90s and every player knew his position and what's expected, if one was injured another would slot in and equally perform.

Sparta - Remind me how that panned out, please.

Yes Pete, our keeper Pullen.

I don't know Spit. Johnson didn't seem to be calming anyone down at all. Not sure what he thought he was going to gain. Harbottle did the right thing pushing Johnson away.

For those of you who work, try telling the bloke who pays your wages to fuck off and see if you still have a job next day. Didn't we have a similar situation some years ago?

Yes sounds like johnson and harbottle did a good job to calm matters

Spit - it looked like Johnson trying to calm fans, followed by Neufville telling fans to f-off.

KD- or they think they won’t be kept on if we get promoted.

Tilley and Neufville are off-contract, no?
