Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Not looked through fully but basically we were about £50k overspend after BTB or at least how it looks. Think we done something similar last year and again season 23/24. That buffer will disappear soon enough and we will have less to spend and very little fall back options for a bad season. We are r...

Re: Matty Young

Yeah if selected looks like he is in Morocco Thu 21st March.

Currently loan ends after Peterborough Sports on Sat 16th March, would hope he can make this game. Looks like he would miss Rushall Olympic away if he signs until end of the season.

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Are they any Armstrong fan boys? The general output of playing Darlington down, went too far from Management to club board members. I think AA had just hit his limit of rebuilding teams, finding players and seeing them sold. He had done it for a good period and his energy levels had gone. From a clu...

Re: Kings Lynn v Darlington 6/01/24

Asante definitely needs some pace around him, which clearly Salkeld and Curry can offer in and around him. At the moment just happy we put up a fight today, hopefully that's part of what Watson brings to us.

Re: Who next?

Whitby manager Nathan Haslam if we accept relegation is now nailed on, would be my choice. Used to the division below and turning out a reasonable team on an average budget (you would think). By all accounts applied last time when Gowling was given the opportunity. Either way we are now skint and lo...

Re: GOWLING OUT

Re: Club ownership

The club doesn't sell one share. Costs too much to process and I am assuming DFCSG would not allow small holding take up currently.

Any share sales needs to have the approval of DFCSG and to make it worthwhile would need to be a decent amount.

But AA will want a similar size squad still, not like we would get rid of those three and not sign three other players. Yes we didn't get much from them but I would assume AA still wants the same size squad, just get more from them.

We are currently needing to reduce budget by about £80k I think (pretty sure that's around the reserve reductions we have done). Some of this I assume will be made up from any Beck left over money and if we hit the £150k BTB, however still a drop in player/management spend of rough guess £40k/£60k P...

Yeah promotion would have caused us a lot of issues, I was never bothered at this stage for promotion. However I wanted us to make the play offs and I would have wanted us to win each game but if we missed out in the playoffs it was probably a decent enough scenario.

Re: Meeting with board

I am guessing a reduced budget for staff/players will be one where everyone has to get behind or may have to look for pastures new.

I would assume this would/should have been discussed when AA signed his new two year contract. Not making the play offs has probably hit us by about between £10k-£20k.
