+1 for the using of my post to throw wild (yet believable) accusations at "the best manager in the league".Wintergreen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:47 pmAre you suggesting Cox gets a percentage of every signing on fee or players' salary?
Controversial, but it would explain a lot.
Is it because 7th wasn't good enough ?northscaler wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:27 pm Ask yourself why these players have left:
Harrison
Yussuff
Moore
Harvey
Hughes.
If they were on ‘big money’ as you say then ,bar moore why have they all been replaced with youth loans?

Who's next? Harvey and Hughes wanted to move on because they're part of Cox's little pool linked to one management group and were guaranteed an easy ride elsewhere. Yussuff? He was on big enough money for Pennock to baulk at the prospect of extending his contract.northscaler wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:27 pm Ask yourself why these players have left:

Why did Moore leave? Pennock had his keeper in mind, and moved him down the pecking order.
Why were they replaced by 'youth loans'? (a youth loan is a different thing, but you mean promising young players from teams higher up the pyramid).
Have any of them been replaced by youngsters?
Harrison - not replaced yet
Yussuff - Luke James (not a youth player)
Moore - Arnold (not a youth player)
Harvey - Kingsley James (not a youth player)
Hughes - Humphrey (not a youth player)
Now do us all a favour, and [SwearFilter] off back to fawning over the tedious Fylde project.

Exactly. The Paul Cox blamers need to get over themselves. Hes been gone now for 7 months, there has been plenty of time for change.Steeley wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 1:35 pm Cox left in august and Ogden signed all the players that were supposedly going to achieve a greater position than 7th and are now supposedly the worst players to ever pull on the shirt.
Plenty of players and staff have come and gone since then, its been a revolving door.
If we went down cox will be partly responsible, but there are others that are more responsible. People really need to get over Paul Cox.
I look forward to our 2025/26 season where our mid table mediocrity is put down to Paul cox signing moussa diarra.
Your original question was "If they were on ‘big money’ as you say then ,bar moore why have they all been replaced with youth loans?" and "Ask yourself why these players have left"northscaler wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 1:37 pm
5 full time wages replaced with 1 full time wage and 3 (cheaper option) loan players.
You've said one of those departed players was owed money for a large part of last season and has left recently because of it.
Theres a trelatively small squad of 17 availible this weekend with 4 loanees and a non contract player amongst them.
Thanks Oldtimer - not only for a sensible response (unlike whitty1969 and his side kick paddy71)oldtimer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:16 am Off the top of my head, Bankrolled clubs and relegation.
Colne Dynamoes ( White had money and sites set on league. Went out of existence 1990, but since re formed)
Rushden and Diamonds ( reached the league under Max Griggs money. Relegated, liquidated and since re formed)
Darlington. ( Bankrolled a new stadium and aiming for Championship. Relegated, liquidated and since re formed)
Must be others ??

Also remember Workington saying we should be relegated two leagues lower so may live in Cumbria but still a Lancastrian at heart!
Really found that hard to forget from the marras up the coast.

Also, it's really really sad signing up second accounts to agree with yourself/talk about yourself or further vendettas/agendas, and the admin team can in the vast majority of cases see exactly what is going on.
Some bans have been handed out for the above. Just [SwearFilter] grow up eh.

And don't forget Hartlepool. They were one of the clubs who voted us out of the Football League in '72.mall wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 8:53 pmPedro wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 12:30 pm
