It's in the sun so it must be true....

[AFaceInTheCrowd]

The sun are reporting that Notts have offered £10k a week to a Spanish winger with a further £5k a week for every appearance. Seems absolutely bizarre story for a number of reasons:
1 this harks back to our Munto finance days of just bat shit craziness.
2 it's in the sun.
3 if we had this type of money to play with in January how the hell did we end up with crap like Virtue and Husin?
4 we don't need another winger.
5 it's league two how the hell we getting that round FFP when we are already losing £1.8 million per year?

It's quite clearly utter bollocks. What's the most bizarre stories about your clubs?

 

[shoddycollins]

That a foreign billionaire spent two years in discussions to buy us.

 

[Richard Cranium]

The most bizarre thing that has ever happened to us has got to be the time John Batchelor wanted to buy us and rename us Harchester United. Take me back to those days..

 

[hellogregory]

Diego Capel would absolutely rip this division to pieces to be fair.

You think FFP is enforced?

Links to us signing Mario Ballotelli after Bruno came in as Mourinho had advised him to give him the chance to get his feet on the ground... we’d have stayed up had he been up top instead of Big Reg last season I reckon!

 

[Indian Dan]

Last season it was all over the media that we were going to be bought by Red Bull. The actual ‘event’ was announcing Tactics Tim as some sort of invisible DoF.

 

[Conker]

It’s enforced, but it’s easy to get round.

 

[Chris FGR]

Diego Capel would absolutely rip this division to pieces to be fair.

If Capel signs in time for next week he'll have NO CHANCE up against Benno. Will be a RUDE AWAKENING to what life is like down here, fancy dan foreigners like him aren't cut out for league 2 playing against REAL MEN.

Oh yeah I’d forgot about that. What a ‘dream team’ that would of been

 

[Kenneth E End]

And people have the audacity to moan about our budget?

To be fair, the end of the season contractually ends in 18 weeks, so that would only equate to £180k plus bonuses. Or if you only did it until the after the play offs its only £120,000+.

 

[jacobncfc]

And people have the audacity to moan about our budget?

We aren’t actually signing Diego Capel on £15k a week.

Around the same time John Bachelor was sniffing around Mansfield he was trying to buy us and move us to the footballing hotbed of Leigh. The whole article is bizarre...

He had never heard of Leigh RMI and the total lack of interest in them by the local populace then?

 

[darren gregory]

Get Sven and Sol Campbell back

 

[shoddycollins]

going back a few years to the end of the Knighton era, when we were desperate for someone to buy him out, we were linked with a buyer who came to meet with our board, think he was even interviewed by the local paper.

turned out to just be some random guy who worked as a waiter in an Indian restaurant in Hawick.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Sounds like that little village club in France who tabled a bid/enquiry for Lionel Messi a few years back

 

[Youpies]

To be fair. Mancini genuinely nearly became Notts manager. Figo was also linked.

Henry?

 

[valefan16]

Henry?

Wasnt Figo linked with us when it turned out to be Bruno?

 

[shoddycollins]

Schmeichel was linked with us when Greg Abbott was sacked. Well I'm pretty sure he actually applied for the job but the board decided to give it to Kavanagh instead.

 

[GTFCfish]

This isn't a newspaper story, but one of our Directors has today said that our target is to be in the Championship in 5 years, which is as laughable as some of these talked about stories!

 

[LongEatonPie]

Nolan has confirmed we were in talks with the player but the 15k was laughable. He was offered a very good wage for League 2 but nothing near that figure.
