Jeff, you are indeed welcome to dissargee with me..
I think you may have missunderstood where I was coming from with this post, and on the Atieno thread even though I will not respond on that thread.
I was not suggesting here for one minute that the club should try to sign Goulding , just have petty grip at the moment on every single thread that mentions any player, you have endless dripping on about how our poor little club can not afford that player this player or any other player, expect the odd has been or never been player that no else wants. Its just doing my head in.
Their are atleast 8 clubs in this division with lower gate figures than our own, it is likely that those clubs are working of smaller budgets than us, yet Morecambe can afford to pay Ellison and had Brodie on loan, again this not about players, it is about finance.
The reason I mentioned Downes is we also have a habbit of dripping on about location, our club managed to persuade Downes to come from Chesterfield with in our wage structure, also Bobby.O relocated here from Scotland with in our wage structure. And look at some of the players and where they have come from that have signed for us down the seasons with our wage structure and poor location.
Think I do have a good grasp on all things League 2, thats why I mentioned wages, Rochdale, Morecambe, Wimbledon etc are not paying £2k a week basic wages in fact I be surprised if many clubs were at our level, if they did those clubs would go bust very quickly, as would ours, some of these players are playing for a lot less in basic wages than many think across football forums.
I am not trying to get at what the right or wrong player for us to sign is, just saying we have to stop giving the, "oh that player will never come because of location", "oh only if we can afford his wages". Because down the years we have signed North and Scottish based players, and a lot of these players are not earning the type of money that many think they are.
