    This signing not about money it’s about judgment and only time will tell if that is correct

    He's not getting £9k a week after being released from Town, surely.

    No h
    He’ll be trying to imagine get something similar or a little less. No way we are going above £4/5k per week on players. I think we are going to get shit sharp shock with the turndowns. It’s a mini championship now to have a chance of stopping up we’ve got to invest.

    I was talking about Bradford End's comment. Keep up.

    He hasn’t signed anywhere yet he will be waiting for the best offer he can. But he has no hope of getting anywhere near that

    I think the transfer of Horsfall to Blackpool highlights to me how much different this league looks from the last time we were here.

    I would imagine we will be in the mid table league at best regarding budgets and players we could attract. Batting alongside the likes of Northampton, Exeter and Wimbledon

    9k a week
    The world has gone mad
    Almost half a million a year for a very mediocre player

    I would say lower mid
    Probably 7 to 8 teams with a smaller budget

    How many teams will be able to compete with Blackpool? If Stockport can't, not many will.

    Players will often go for the longer deal over the salary, within reason.
    It's the 4 year deal that will have swung it. You don't get many of those in Lge 1/2.

    This is exactly the problem we will face and I don't think some have realised how much the top end of league 1 has changed. If we really want a player and they are worth it I think we would stretch to a bit over 5k but not much more whereas clubs like Luton, Huddersfield, Rotherham and by the looks of it Blackpool will pay that for their middle players.

    The average wage in 23/24 was £3,700, I would imagine for next season that will rise a lot especially when you factor in Luton's wage budget. Even if we double our wage budget to around £8m I think they will be at best the 10th highest.
