He said the 10 players put on the transfer list is purely down to finances ...Which is very worrying
Sounds like the previous manager either overspent or wasted money on dross

I would take that with a pinch of salt. It's a case of raising money and moving on players who he believes justify their wage to rebuild the squad. I doubt the club is in significant financial trouble given that attendances have more than doubled and that we're effectively able to continue freeze season ticket prices for another year.

I would agree with Redrobo that operationally the monies coming in should exceed the outgoings. However this seasons accounts, aren’t due at companies house until March 2023. I think everyone was allowed to defer lodging accounts for the year 2020-21 for 2 months due to covid, so they should be lodged by end of May

I think I'm guilty of being far too sentimental with this team and hoping a good number of them stay on but like others have pointed out, we probably established ourselves as one of the worst league one teams to ever stay up so the current squad just isn't up to standard. Derek needs to be ruthless in moving a few on and improving the squad dramatically because I don't think we'll be as lucky next year to have so many teams poorer than us.

The BEST thing about this league is that it is the only one where 4 teams drop, otherwise we'd still be League Two (assuming Horwich were still one of the three that went up).

So we have Directors and proper fans Graham, Rod, James and Charlie who we would all no doubt trust running the club till the end of time. But how do the actual owners, the guys behind Bond Investments actually fit in to the jigsaw and do they provide or take out from the success of the club? For instance, hypothetically speaking if Cole, (or any other player for that matter), was sold for a large sum could the guys behind Bond Investments withdraw funds for their own benefit rather than the club in general?
