    I think the majority of footballers will be joining us on the basis of the salary offered. I don't blame them. I would maximise my income as a lower league footballer.

    Hughes and Sparks ,- (Laurel and Hardy) the shine has come off and we are left fighting for scraps. We may end up with a bottom 8 team instead of the top 12 we were promised ;-)

    Was discussing this with Bronco the other day, other than what the club creates itself and the Tv money, we have no other means of income like the likes of Salford do. We have a very strict budget to work and unfortunately it seems there are clubs in the division with deeper pockets. Good luck to Williams, as a player you have to do what is right for yourslef but for us we move on. Plenty more players out there that will strengthen our first team and be more likely to play the full 90 minutes, something Williams wasn't capable of doing last season.

    You asked, I will answer. How can we improve on giving away fans half the Midland Rd or even all of it . It’s got a roof, so has the Bradford End and it doesn’t wobble in a strong wind.

    You asked I answered.

    And Brad Galinsons net worth is between $80 and $100 million, I remember reading Stephan Rupps net worth was £100 million plus. just goes to show even though he's not ultra rich he's prepared to back his manager Neil Harris not merely in the January window but the closed season also.
    Now I'm not suggesting being self financing isn't a good thing but it looks like this guy means business, Gillingham looked a good side when they came to Valley Parade in April and I believe they will be in the shake up come April/May 2024.

    I can't see him fitting in at Gillingham. Harris has his team playing very direct.
    Not sure that is his game. Time will tell.

    Agents played a blinder. He'll have been talking to Gills, couldn't agree on a number. Take City's offer up, leak it to the press to show Gillingham he's off to a rival, they end up blinking and giving him a daft amount.

    Confirmed by Parker that City offered him more than what he was on at Swindon and he was a top earner at Swindon. So Gillingham must have offered a good L1 level wage.

    Don’t be so dramatic. How is any this the clubs fault.
    Go on I’ll give you a chance to back up your ridiculous comment.

    Nobody is happy but Jesus blaming the Manager and Coach is absolutely laughable.

    You brought their stand into it Kev, my initial post was about losing out on Williams I couldn’t care less if they put a garden shed there instead of that golf stand to be honest.

    Beat me to it mate but what we didn't know was the conniving barstewards were going to whip Williams from under our noses, especially when we'd wined and dined his ;).

    Sounds a bit shitty the way the player has pulled the plug when it was all but a done deal.

    not fussed myself, 5’5 is verging dwarf territory and always throwing himself to the ground by all accounts.

    Gotta remember Dave i'm pretty sure it won't be his own money he's using. No owner is that daft. Speculating to accumulate as Gills seem to be doing is a risk v reward strategy. Great when it comes off....

    Disappointing but always worried about him being on the physios table more than on the pitch, with the injuries record he has. Not the first time we’ve bought a crock and regretted it.
    Like I said, disappointing but can only hope we dodged a bullet with him

    We move on…

    Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I agree. Shitty behaviour to agree a deal and then pull out at the last minute. I hope he fails his medical.
