Unfortunately, it just becomes impossible when clubs like that who have the backing to be able to throw silly money at players. I wouldn't hold it against him, if another company offered to massively increase my wage I would be off.

The money even in this league is just becoming stupid.

Oh nothing against him. I'd walk there if I was offered the same. Just sad how far we've fallen

I think some people are getting a bit OTT. This doesn't mean that FGR or Barnet are bigger clubs than we are or that Promotion isn't the goal. If there wasn't a release clause I doubt that the Club would be accepting this offer.

Promotion is absolutely the goal not least because of the impact it would have on being able to reopen the Academy which is at the heart of what we want to be as a football club.

Absolutely this.

Also FGR and Barnet don’t have to rebuild a club brick by brick from the ground up. They didn’t have an unusable training ground, a different unsafe one, an unsafe stadium with some areas condemned, absolutely zero income streams other than match day ticket sales and merch in the club shop, a long list of creditors to be paid off…. I could go on.

Those things need fixing before we even get to a level playing field with Barnet and FGR.

Their moneybags owners are just an additional bonus on top - over and above the level playing field.

Understand that Forest Green are set to announce the signing of a striker from the EFL later on today, who they have spent a decent chunk on. This by absolutely no means means Cardwell is safe but can only be seen as a positive

Spot on.

I hope they both are to give us a fighting chance at getting out of this league next year.

I thought, with Wrexham, Notts County and Chesterfield all gone, it was going to be an easier league this season? Maybe the painful truth is, that there are always going to be one or two clubs prepared to pay silly money in an effort to gain promotion.

Agree with everything you said SS but what worry’s me and I would imagine many others is while we are trying to get on a level par with the mighty FGR and Barnet will the patience of walk in fans which have boosted our attendances run out watching our star players being tempted away and dare I say it not challenging for at least the play-offs, we could end up back down to 5,000 crowds very quickly which ain’t good, please don’t take this as a rant, just a concern.UTB
