    Park doesn't use key words.

    Everything he puts is gibberish.

    Its what the security of a contract does even if there is only 6 months left. And if you're gonna get paid in full for 6 months you ain't gonna go elswhere for less money unless circumstances dictate, such as being homesick because that is then you necessitating the reason to leave not the other way round.

    It's common sense, I can't even believe it's being debated in fairness.

    What do you mean "couldn't ask for extra money"?

    You need to be more precise with your language.

    The player isn't asking "for extra money", he has a contract which stipulates his earnings and potential for bonuses. If he was leaving, he wouldn't be asking for extra on top of that.

    What you seem to be suggesting is that every player who left (because you said "we paid no one off") just cancelled their contract with their last day of pay being the day that they left the club and went to sign elsewhere.

    That is possible but unlikely, in most cases there would have been some settlement because some of the cases the club would have been suggesting they leave and therefore would need to pay something towards their departure. All those who left didn't just rip up their contract with no further payments.

    I understand FA rules state that players who end contracts of leave by mutual consent should be paid a minimum till the end of the month plus one extra month unless a greater sum is agreed, Players who are at the end of contract and leave the club are entitled to 2 months extra pay to tide them till another club.

    Yes, Vaughan won't have cost us any more than the difference in what we were paying him v the difference in his Tranmere contract up to June 2022 (when his City contract ended). It will have cost us a bit, but I seriously doubt we let him walk away to significantly lower money at Tranmere, or that he would have gone for significantly lower, simply because he could have been stung with a tax bill.

    Surely when your contract has ended your employment has also ended? Why would the club have to pay another two months to a player they don't legally employ anymore?

    Nothing surprises me in football anymore. The players have held all the power, ever since Jimmy hill broke the maximum wage , hopefully the salary cap will now bring some sort of normality back. Although it needs to be throughout the whole of football and the limit in the lower divisions needed to be slightly more, to reflect the teams with larger turnover.

    True. A good way to think of it, is those youngsters have allowed us to have a far better squad. They play a crucial role even if not playing as you need a certain quantity of home grown players. Far better to have ones, who you are willing to play as means you can get better quality players elsewhere

    Its not going to happen in reality but he's far too good for this division. Be great if we could set something up for next season. I thought he was a player who just roamed around where he wanted setting up goals as opposed to a winger

    You can strike Ishmail off that list. The way he's going with injuries, don't bank on him being out with Covid as soon as he recovers from his latest setback.

    I agree but at the moment he's employed by the club as a first team squad member and as such I put him in the list.

    Normal rules just don't apply to footballers contracts. I remember that from when BFG tried to rip them up in 2002 and the PFA wouldn't allow it.

    The idea of not honouring the football debts came up again during the first administration. The prospective purchaser of the Club was advised that if the Club went down that route, then the price to pay would be to be placed in the Conference (effectively relegating the Club three divisions). Given that we went on to get relegated twice, suffered years of struggle and also lost the ground, hindsight may suggest we should have gone down that route.

    Wrexham manager won't be happy with Tyler French after he was sent off on his debut in their 1-1 draw last night.

    Well, given that people said he had the potential to be a £100m player, he's definitely never going to fulfil that.

    But even so, you'd think he'd be at least Championship level with those kinds of assessments being made, and he's not going to hit those heights either.

    I don't know what's next for him, but I can't see a queue of teams wanting to take a lad who can't stay fit for love nor money.

    Ryan needs to shut up with comments like this and understand his role.

    Somethings need to be kept in house. A CEO playing football manager is off putting. It's real. He isn't playing a computer game. Leave comments like that to the manager or recruitment manager.

    Got a lot to learn already but hey he is 29 did you know.

    However, I praise him for the direction and improvement we have made so far but Rhodes was useless, so the small changes were not hard to make.
