Charlie Cooper sent off for FGR, although some may say that is a good thing. Two nil to Wycombe at HT.
It was a good thing. We looked far better without that pair of tools.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Charlie Cooper sent off for FGR, although some may say that is a good thing. Two nil to Wycombe at HT.
Confused.com, you should have done your homework before trying to win brownie points on my post on another forum.confused.com wrote:I read in the middle of the FGR meltdown discussion, that LM has to have a cataract operation. Now that would explain a lot!!!
Also laughed at OTC rambling on saying in monetary terms they are well below most in L2
Here is the FGR version: "They are owned by Ecotricity, an energy company who bankrolled the club to the tune of £2-3million losses a year during the last few years, and have enough cash to build a new training facility and stadium from scratch without leveraging debt, and have more money than pretty much any team in L2"The Old TomCat wrote:Confused.com, you should have done your homework before trying to win brownie points on my post on another forum.confused.com wrote:I read in the middle of the FGR meltdown discussion, that LM has to have a cataract operation.

If you had checked it out you would have seen that my argument was instantly agreed with by original poster. My post could have equally applied to CTFC, another club with small crowds.
I’ll post it here but substituting CTFC for FGR:
“Lincoln had that wonderful FA Cup run last season which added £ millions to their coffers. Plus they are averaging 8,616 supporters against CTFC’s 3,139, a difference of 5,477 to Lincoln and close to the entire capacity of WR.
Lincoln have a lot, an awful lot more money than CTFC.
They can compete and win higher grade players because they are prepared to pay them many times higher wages.”
Confused.com I suggest that you as a Cheltenham Town FC supporter just concentrate on your own club. You have fallen flat on your face trying to make mischief for me.
Why don't you cut and paste the complete article you posted OTC, instead of just select the one item re Lincoln's cup Money. The sentences were you portray yourselves as the little penniless amateur club at the top of a hill, Who have suddenly found themselves in with the mega rich, who have money to burn?The Old TomCat wrote:Confused.com, you should have done your homework before trying to win brownie points on my post on another forum.confused.com wrote:I read in the middle of the FGR meltdown discussion, that LM has to have a cataract operation.

Aye. Was on a 6th month contract which ran out on 1st January. He didn't sign a new one once he knew Vince's millions were sniffing. Wonder if PV can make a case for FGR tapping him up.horlickfanclub wrote:Forest Green have signed a decent centre half/left back from Port Vale.
They don't have a case and have no issue whatsoever with us signing him., All players approaching the end of their contract will be looking around/talking to other clubs to see what's on offer.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Aye.

So why did Vince report CTFC to the FA?Chris FGR wrote:They don't have a case and have no issue whatsoever with us signing him., All players approaching the end of their contract will be looking around/talking to other clubs to see what's on offer.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Aye.

You can even sign pre-contract agreements 6 months before the end of your contract in the Prem, so at lower levels where players need to earn to pay their mortgages, it would be crazy to expect them to wait until they're out of work before they start looking for future employers.
The word mercenary springs to mind, obviously there for one reason only. Good luck to him I say!I-Love-CTFC wrote:Money talks. Going from a team in 7th to bottom of the league says it all.
Luckily, as seen with FGR's failure to get promoted for so long, mercenaries do not always have the drive and commitment to fight for the cause, so hopefully Reid cares more about his wage and the vegan pies than he does keeping FGR in their false position in the EFL.Ihearye wrote:The word mercenary springs to mind, obviously there for one reason only.

True, depends on motivation I guess. Some players strive to play at the highest level they can, others happy to stay at a lower level if better financially/geographically.horlickfanclub wrote:A two and a half year contract and nearer home. We all like job security. Why the cynical comments?
An upgrade on Special Agent Collins. Phillips is a Robin for life. Not only would he make Collins style comedy howlers at the same frequency, he’d also stamp on the shins of Doidge and Reid in training.Malabus wrote:FGR want Dillon Phillips. They offered £60k

I thought OTC said they wrote with a higher standard of English over there!A thread regarding one of the younger players has been removed due to the personnel attack on an individual.
