Shame to see, did a decent job for us. With all the rubbish SISU have put us through we have never heard of players not being paid

Can't see Bury staying up either, especially if they have to start the season on -12 points.

It's sad that the players haven't been paid, looks like it could become a common thing in the lower league's.

They spent money they didn’t have to get promoted. We should feel sorry for clubs who didn’t go up who’ve played by the rules.
It’s Not the players fault though and it can’t be nice not getting paid.

And then you look at Lee Burge and think it can't have been nice us paying him.

I think he only got paid if he kept a clean sheet, to be fair.

"Speaking exclusively to The Sportsman for the dog-based series ‘The Sportman’s Best Friend" is not the line I expected!

He was meant to sign a contract similar to this bit he kept dropping the pen.

'Where has the Wilson money gone?'
'Why haven't we re-invested Madison's transfer fee?'

Football clubs require funds to operate, its not as simple as one player out, four players in.

We have never failed to pay the salaries of CCFC staff and I think we now have a better regime of operating within our means financially.

You’d think splurging £1m on players here there and everywhere is the only metric of investment. Very narrow mindset our fans have.

In terms of on-field investment, our owners have been quite good for the last 3 seasons now (including this summer).

I thought SISU deserved criticism for not ceasing legal action as the main barrier to a RICOH deal. We were led to believe dropping legals would facilitate a return and that was a big, fat lie from the Wasps and echoed by the council.
