barrycowdrill Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I know it’s early days and it’s only 2 examples (if you exclude Crawford) but it’s refreshing that players seem to be seeing the bigger picture when signing for us. All had offers from other L2 clubs & even L1 but have seen the “project” the club and management are putting together everyone so far wants to be here rather than rocking up because they’ve nowhere else to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, released after playoff final, if Northampton don't rate him at league 1 level, not sure giving him a long contract makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to trust evatt on this. I was curious as to his availability because Rudy reckons he's too good for this league. We'll find out I suppose.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 31 minutes ago, jmjhb said: They couldn't afford to keep him apparently There will be a lot more of that. Getting promoted from 4th tier to 3rd tier isnt a cash cow, income will hardly increase - slightly bigger crowds for the likes of Northampton, Swindon and Plymouth, but not a lot, with limited capacity in most cases and away fans not going to increase much. TV income wont increase much, but all the promoted players will expect a nice pay rise, where does that money come from especially in the current climate? If we only pay a fraction more than the smaller league one clubs offer we'll have no trouble attracting good players in next couple of years (assuming we've got the money).

Moderators Casino Posted July 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2020 Tv and solidarity payment 3rd tier 1.3 mill 4th tier 900k So, its not massive but its significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Good info. £400k would be like 8 players getting an extra £1k a week. It helps but not a game changer, I bet plenty will expect more after getting promoted if they are one of the better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
