Could be wrong but pretty sure I heard Butler saying pre-match there’s a real prospect of part time next season without promotion. So whoever said that last week (which I questioned) sounds like you could be right.
I think a few people have expressed this view?
From the Head of Recruitment thread:
Rene Artois wrote: Does a 2nd tier non-league team actually need a Head of Recruitment? How many other teams in this league have one? Is it a waste of £50k a year? Surely Stan (Butler) & Jack (Schofield) have enough contacts within the game and desperate players seeking trials? If the HoR ‘finds’ five players a season then that works out at £10k a player. Seems we’re trying to desperately cling to our ‘professional’ status and haven’t accepted our fate and faced the facts. We’re non-league and looking as if we’ll be grounded in this league for a while. Stagnation will see gates fall and ultimately we will go part-time like the rest. Speculate to accumulate… blah, blah, blah. Money for old rope, clutching at straws. Successful recruitment in industry is poor – with only a 30% success rate. Football tends to be even worse. I’ve looked at the top 4 teams – 2 have HoR, 2 don’t… I’m guessing that there will be more teams without HoRs than with?
