Brought a wee tear to my eye, especially the little Wharton ‘nod’. Fantastic work from everyone involved!

Awaywego, someone who used to have a pop at Scunny fans for being “the worst fans in the country”, surely now takes the mantle as being the very worst of those said fans.

If we’re playing 2 up top then our central midfield is looking more and more lightweight. Who will play if it’s just two in there? Scales and Clunan??
Was really hoping that if we made just one decent signing this summer it would be in central midfield, but looks like we’ve ended up shopping in the bargain bucket for someone who played a bit part role for a lower-mid table NLN team last season. Sigh.
Hope the lad makes me eat my words and turns into a gem.

Seems we hit the post button seconds apart.

Oh yeah, completely forgot he signed an extension at the start of the season under Hilton! Ignore me, carry on…

If you believe Butterfield’s wife (and there’s no reason not to), it was stated he was offered slightly over minimum wage. That’s £20,820 a year. Let’s be generous and say he was offered £30k a year, a 65% reduction would have meant he was on roughly £86k a year. We signed him in the NL, where the average salary is (according to a quick Google) between £1 – £1.5k a week. So he was on £1.65k a week, a little over the average wage for a NL footballer.
That doesn’t scream paying way over the odds to me, especially for a player of his quality…he was signed under Swann long after the purse strings were tightly sealed.

Haha yep…back to back relegations, HMRC winding up orders, staff not being paid, losing the academy, almost losing the stadium, players hours away from going on strike, CCJs all over the place…but it’s losing two players who deserve to be playing at a higher level that compels you to come out of the woodwork during this “torid” 24 hours!

McCall – Sorted the defence out, got us winning games. One of the worst decisions we’ve ever made to sack him. YES
100%. Still in my eyes the largest contributor to the position we now find ourselves in. Swanny may have still pulled the plug if we remained in League 1 but the sacking of McCall definitely kick started our drastic slide down the divisions.

There’s very little chance we’d get a keeper better than Fitz in this division so I’m happy he’ll still be between the sticks.
Some of his distribution is the best I’ve ever seen (and that goes for all divisions!), but he definitely needs to stop thinking he’s Ederson and trying to dribble around players…my ticker can’t take that for another season.
