Fan-owned Dorchester in trouble

Post by Mr_Tibbs » Wed Oct 02, 2013 9:59 pm

They've put all their players up for sale and their 60-year old manager has named himself as substitute for their next match...

It's gone from hope to despair for them in just a few short months, the reason? Bad financial management - they actually budgeted for a good cup run, but got knocked out in the second qualifying round which has sent them into a tailspin.

Interesting to see that despite being only a conference south club with gates in the hundreds not thousands, they have some professional players! There's your debt then.

Even Stockport went p/t in the Conference North. Why would a fans owned conference south side even consider getting f/t players?
