I can't look past Wrexham for the league. Not a knock on our lads/staff etc who have done and are doing brilliantly but it's just ridiculous money they're spending. They're probably going to not far off a £1 million spent in transfer fees today alone with Bolton, Marriott and the guy from Rotherham. As it stands, they have 5 players contracted to them that won't be able to be named in their squad list. Incredible hoarding of experienced players and just shows what money these lads are on who know they won't kick a ball but won't go. Add Another year without needing to worry about FFP as well , obviously will go for broke next season for the Championship too. Not sure I'm a fan of this 18 month rule. With the amount of revenue they're generating FFP wouldn't be a consideration for them anyway.

Gillingham apparently getting rid of another striker, Tom Nichols, to Mansfield. They must surely have someone lined up to replace him and Bonne. Gillingham have had the weirdest scattergun approach to recruitment since their takeover. Rumour is it's not just Nichols going to Mansfield but Lapslie as well, who only left Mansfield for Gillingham last January.

Wasn't Bonne the one involved in the car accident / injuring several other players in the car thing?
Just wondering if that one at least could be for non-football reasons as much as the fact he hasn't scored much.

Agreed but whenever I read their message board/Twitter etc the fans are sickly love struck with the American owners and it doesn’t appear to have any substance. Things have improved marginally for them, there seem to have spent a lot of money but don’t seem to be doing great out of it.

It's like a cult, which is coincidentally the vibe I get whenever their owner speaks. If this is their replacement for the forwards they're letting go then I'm not convinced they're going to threaten the playoffs www.gillinghamfootballclub.com/news/2024/february/gills-sign-jorge-cabezas-hurtado-on-loan/

With the amount of revenue they're generating FFP wouldn't be a consideration for them anyway. It will in the Championship, ther Millions from Disney will make the competive much quicker unfortunately, as they have 2 more windows before rules kick in.

As long as Wrexham keep not replacing their hopeless defenders we’ll be alright Most people commenting on the Bolton signing announcement tweet think he's a defender. Yeah, Wrexham fans saying he'll be a RWB but Salford fans saying he didn't enjoy playing that position for Salford. Either way Bolton & Marriott are very strong signings for them. Still happy with what we've done though, as others have said we've signed what we need rather than statement signings & with the likes of MSH, Sarce, Hippo, & Collar coming back we're looking very strong for the run in.

My point is that they're generating so much revenue that any delay on FFP rules kicking in isn't really benefitting them anyway. As they would be safely below any caps that might hinder them.

Another FA charge for Mansfield Hilarious given some suggestions on their board that the FA have gone after Clough because of his dad and weren't going to bother going after any others.

It's just not worked out for him in the football league since his injury.
I think going back to the national league is what he needed
