We have had to get players that were released from national league sides because everyone else will be getting contracts and earning more than we can offer.
We are pretty much running the club on a conf north/bottom of conference budget.
I went to see AFC Fylde v Maidstone today I bet a lot of the players on the pitch are on more than our players.

None of us really know how much players get paid, we can only speculate. However I was told an interesting fact recently by a guy who's a director at NPL Matlock Town (who were very much our rivals back in the day). During the last close season their new manager Brian Laws wanted to sign a defender from a Conference North team. The player and his agent demanded £2000.00 per month clear, so Matlock would have to cover all his expenses and tax liabilities etc' and pay him the full £2000.00 afterwards. That's part time, training two evenings per week and at most playing two games. Laws who had been out of management for a while and had never managed at that low a level before was apparently gobsmacked by the amount of money involved, even at level 7. Incidentally Matlock signed the player on his terms!
Whoever runs a football club nowadays definitely needs very deep pockets even that far down the pyramid.

It's been said more than once from various sources that the pop man will not be the new owner of the club...so what makes you think otherwise....

Is it all a bit too cushy? Have they just all jumped off the same box? Is there a connection between them that we don’t realise? What is their memorandum operandi or what their end game is?
Have they carefully re-packaged the same deal. Is that what is being said by others and are they right to being sceptical about the end result.
In the end it might be that the worry is all for nothing, doubt it, but it’s a possibility.

My personal view is Sarbjot made a ridiculous offer, that was never going to be completed, but now Whittingham believes that is a realistic amount to hold out for. For example, the club is actually worth £1 million. Sarbjot offered £6 million. Whittingham accepted £6 million. Sarbjot pulled out/couldn't complete. Whittingham now won't consider anything less than £6 million, because he believes that's what it is worth.
Soon, it will be worthless.
