Re: Suggestion - Emre Mor

Losing count of how many ridiculous posts I see about "we should sign this guy"...This isn't football manager, it isn't just about the transfer fee! It's wages that are the big killer, as well as club prestige & perception and career aspirations. Why would a guy want to leave Dortmund for Burnley if...

Re: Forest Green Rovers

To put the spending in perspective the days of every club in non league football being run on a shoestring is well wide of the mark. Some of the clubs in the Conference divisions beat clubs in Leagues 1 and 2 to the signature of players by offering better terms and wages. Some managers left sides i...
