    People moaning about lack of cover up front.

    Calls to bring back DSF and Pugh despite having numerous players in that position and their wages being covered.

    People moaning about that awful stadium wrap being replaced by someone investing god knows how much into the club.

    It was only a few months ago we had the begging buckets out and were asking every Tom/dick/Harry to pay our staff’s wages. As far as I’m aware, the club still has a Huge wage bill with some players on 2k+ a week and still having to contend with a legacy debt which will be in the 100’s of thousands.

    When will we learn?
    Balance sheet over team sheet.

    £2k a week at this level is mental!

    Sembie Ferris makes sense because believe you me if Whitehall get’s crocked and Elliot is needed upfront and we get an injury to another wide player, we’re in deep poo poo.

    Pugh has a 24hour call back anyway.

    I don’t know how true this is but from twitter we were paying out 15k a month for both Smith and Jenkins. Smith going by twitter was on over 2k a week.

    Even if we called Sembie Ferris back to make sure we’re not light, we’ll still be saving a large amount.

    Cliff, you don’t need to remind anybody on this site about our current plight when it comes to the amount of debt still owed. Cliff, believe you me, we all know.

    Pugh and Sembie-Ferris will be a lot more use to us if and when needed if they come with regular game time in our own league.

    Much less use if they haven’t even been in our match day squad for weeks.

    I’m happy for us to leave them out and call them back if needed. Works for us.

    No, we don’t learn Cliff.

    We’ve been told the financial situation of the club, the Transfer Embargo, and some are expecting us to sign this that and the other.

    If Michelle, Roj and Ian wanted to know more about keeping a big Non-league team afloat at this level they should have spoke to David Newton and Craig Singleton on Saturday.

    Now David Newton puts a few quid in, but Craig Singleton has kept Boston going for over 15 years when they nearly dropped into what would be the NPL Today. They’ve come out the other side.

    But this is Scunny and we have to create jobs for the boys, no matter what the cost.
