The Robins Nest Forum

This is interesting:

There's some discussion on this matter on the Mansfield thread on the FGR board (the mods must be taking Sunday off, allowing off-topic discussions like this!) Someone on there has worked out that relegation from L1 has cost them about £5m - which sounds a little excessive.

Crazy numbers considering where they are right now
I think the numbers are up to June 2023 so i read on their forum.

Wages 2023. 5.4million
Up 1.8 million on 2021 and up almost 1.5 million on 2022..

I hope they have some clauses in the players contracts to reduce wages massively if and when they drop to the National. Knowing how DV operates that club, probably not. They are seriously in trouble when they go down.

i think i read on there that they have 58 non playing staff members but they also have 35 or so players but still no one to answer the phone and the hand dryers don't work in the gents. That is what i learned today

since June 2023 i think its 2 hirings and 3 firings in the head coaches section . I've lost track on that a bit

IIRC, our wages are barely half that. Somewhere around £2 million?

Just shows that, even at the lower end of the football pyramid, it's possible for eye-watering amounts of cash to be spunked up the wall for no reward.

More turmoil at FGR with another sacking.

Who now? Nothing on their forum, atm.

Our CEO has gone.

And their DoF! When’s SC following them out of the door?!

Fair play, Shade. Three days ahead of everyone else.

Bit of an exodus.

There's a couple of threads on the FGR forum that make interesting reading. One about the sackings and the role fans think SC has played, the other about the problems streaming the games (I didn't know they had opted out of ifollow!) which rapidly turned into a general rant about the way the club treats their fans. Safe to say, there's some very unhappy people, there!

Here’s the thread about streamlining and the running of the Club: https://forum.fgr.co.uk/post/streaming- ... s-12851701?

The posts get more visceral and emotional in the second and third pages onwards.

Sad to see fellow Shiremen experiencing this.

Unfortunately for us (these days), SC knows what's bullshit and what is not and part of his deal was probably that he has a large say over the running of the club, the way things are structured. No doubt he doesn't want a DoF or probably a head of recruitment, or whatever they call it, either.

Might serve them well in the National League. Three years shy of thirty years since his first season managing a Gloucestershire side at that level.
