Listening ( nearly 2 hours long) to some of Stephen Cleeve’s latest podcast he is suggesting that player contracts will be discounted by between 20-30% next season. He also was suggesting that there might only be 10 home games in the season ( the reason why he won’t take fans money for season tickets) in a very Limited season. Reading various articles it seems there won’t much be much, if any lower level Football In this Country before Christmas.I seem to recall the Chairman saying the Lynn players are not expecting wages until the season gets under way. So is that much of a big deal to start putting the squad together ?
...........................................when Gloucester's chairman came out yesterday saying he has negotiated pay cuts for some of his players and won't sign anyone on more than they are on this season it does concern me that we are maybe jumping the gun.
With a reported 1400 players out of contract in the Pro game at the end of June the Non League market could be ‘flooded’ with players. Can see it being a case of tight, quality sides at budget prices. Hopefully part of the savings will be passed on to Joe Public to encourage people back through the gate, at the appropriate time.One other item Mr Cleeve mentioned was theft from the club by person/S who enjoyed full access and who are no longer involved.
Nothing against any of the lads who have been signed but given that it looks like there may be a fair bit of upheaval further up the pyramid and we don't know when next season will start, or what league we will be in.
