    Think we have some big earners due to come off the books this time round don't we? Akpan? Doyle gone, AOC one?

    Yeah but can’t see it being 1.6 million worth, can you?
    Is Riley up too? His wage was said to be high

    Would have thought 20 players on around £62.5k a year not unreasonable for present standard of our 4th division...

    The vote to finish was unanimous ie 24-0. It was the vote not to relegate that was 20-4 with us P Vale, FGR and Grimsby being the four.

    It would have to be done progressively over a 3 year period, those above the cap stay on the same wage. New contracts are offered withing the cap.

    not unreasonable but with our players currently under contract and some on around 4-5k a week it’s a big ask

    Ive just re read the article I was referring to and yes you are right. The 20/4 was the relegation or not of Stevenage

    Based on the information coming from the club, IMO under Julian & Mark they did not have the financial clout to see us through these difficult times, they told us the volume of season tickets sold was paramount to the playing budget, where as Rupp took the sale of season tickets off sale that's why I believe Rupp will finance our situation, but only time will tell if I'm correct.

    Looks like a major breach of rules at Swindon after yesterday's High Court action. If guilty they could be relegated and as I don't think the season is finished until after play offs then if guilty at best they could be kept in L2 and worst into National League. Let's hope not in case we are due some promotion bonus for Doyle.

    Well I read today that several Championship clubs plan to sue the EFL if they let Derby, Birmingham and Sheff Weds off from breaking rules(if guilty) due to covid 19.

    If Swindon are guilty then I want them to pay for it and if it means relegation then so be it. If Bradford misses out on Swindon promotion payment for Doyle then tough. I want them to suffer.

    Why should Barrow, Harrogate or any other non league team miss out because of Swindon.

    Think Rileys might be up too, I wonder if that budget also included Doyle and Scannel which were very large sums.

    Something’s going on with Swindon. Ewan Miller (is he still at Pulse) tweeted something this morning about ownership disputes that might see them put into administration. As the season isn’t officially over (yet) , i assume a points deduction could be applied?

    Guess the point is Rupp does have the cash to keep us afloat where as JR/ML didn't.
