Isn't that only for those that don't find a club. They get an extra months wages or am I making that up

Yeah so if you're on a Championship club wage and you're only getting League One offers, you may as well not sign for anyone until 1st August so you get an extra month of a Championship wage.

Bloody hope we're not after anyone on a championship wage

Seven managers in three years. That's the way to run a club ! Be interesting to see who hacks up next. Sounds a bit chaotic. Strange club with very impressive advertising boards visible from the outer reaches of space.

What is it about drunken Englishmen and plastic chairs?

They only appear when you're drunk. Otherwise they exist but you just can't see them

Such considerations don't usually hold punters back on this thread.

He's an English Gypsy. He was hare coursing for ages. Putting up horrendous videos of kills. And boasting about the amount of kills each dog of him and his mates did each time. He should concentrate on football, and stop being an idiot. He's the last player we want at our club.

We only like 'Welsh' gypsies anyway.

It doesn't matter if he's a Gypsy, It's him as a person that counts. It's knocking out a woman with a chair, and the horrific animal cruelty.

Oldham a bit slow to act there. I'd have expected to see the standard statement "concerned to see what's going around on social media - will be talking to the player upon his return - we don't condone throwing chairs at women up here in Oldham - etc etc".

 

[SuffolkShrimpers]

Fantastic signing if we can get him you never he may look at us go competing for promotion or top 10 with Eastleigh but wages might provide to be hard

He wouldn’t say no playing in front of 9k plus every games, if we are in top 3.

It was just a little tip of the hat to Freddy.

Also, we've been contributing to animal cruelty for years, especially if you've ever eaten one of those west stand burgers!

That's cruelty to humans

Sounds like a despicable and poor excuse for a human being.

In Oldham it’s normally women throwing the chairs…..

 

[SuffolkShrimpers]

Any hints that we are in talk with a transfer target or close to the dotted line?

Being reported that Robbie Savage has agree a deal to be forest Greens new manager.

I thought Savage at least part owns Macclesfield as well as being their Manager. Surely that rumour isn't credible ?

Adam Rogers sports writer for the telegraph, off the line blog on X plus another sports writer are all reporting it's a done deal.
I can't see the telegraph sports writer posting that if it wasn’t a done deal.

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Hopefully Robbie Savage will take over at FGR, along with Mark Hughes at Carlisle I don’t think either of these managers have the credentials to be a success at NL level.
