Stickied Confirmed Signings 2023/24

[Jerry]

you would if you were cool

That's one thing I'm definitely not

Personally I do know him and love It's always Sunny.... but it's never had a great deal of exposure over here.

 

[Son of Cod]

To be fair, I think that’s on you, lads He has clearly gone well over the hill as he was good at Lincoln (first season) and Mansfield in league two

Haha he got a fair bash at BP, believe me. Don't get me wrong he scored a few bangers and ran around a bit but...just no, he was so so so bad for us.

Also Mullin, what a signing in terms of when was the last time a Conference title chasing team signed the top scorer from L2?! Jeeeeeez Louise. However, he's not guaranteed goals at all. Banger of a season last season, yep. But Wes Hoolahan, Kyle Knoyle and Ironside plated him up a lot. On the other hand, some of his finishes last season were top notch. Wouldn't be surprised to see that signing go either way.

 

[Posh Harry]

We should have a sweepstake on which random tinpot striker is going to outscore Mullin. I’m going for Gold.

So was Henry Kelly (one for the oldies)

 

[Master D]

Paul Mullin did the right thing in signing for The New Salford & Fleetwood FC. It's hard to turn down the massive clubs when they come calling. If 4 years of second tier footy in 156 years of history doesn't make you massive then I don't know what does.

Honestly I don't know how I feel about this. Myself I'm a prove yourself at the highest level possible type of guy but I'm also well aware that for many others it's all about the money and for others it's all down to location. For others it's both these factors. I hear we offered £3000 p/w PLUS a nice goal bonus thrown in as well. I'm not sure about his current deal but apparently it doesn't include a goal bonus so that should make it at the very least about £5000 p/w.

Like I said I dunno, all I know is he'll score a shitload of goals at this level. He won't have Wes and Joe Ironside working their socks off for him this time but if there's one thing I like about him is that he doesn't think twice about pulling the trigger any time a chance presents itself. None of this 'I have to beat my man before I can shoot' nonsense for Mullin.

Cry more.

Being called a small club by fans of Cambridge United. When did they turn pro, 1970?

Looking forward to passing them, and their non-league standard shed of a stadium, on the way back up.

Agree it’s not a definite sure fire 30 goal man, as he’s only done that once last season. We will ruin him though, make no mistake about that.

 

[Minstermen central]

York have signed Mark Beck from Harrogate,very happy needed some height.

 

[EnglishRed]

He was absolutely shite for us on loan from Carlisle, but you can't question what he's gone on to do since. A very effective blunt instrument.

Also I hadn't realised he was only 27. Thats a pretty big signing for NLN, there would be clubs in the NL who would have taken him im sure.

 

[Chief Rocka]

He's just a big fucking nuisance that fella, York have quite a team this season.

 

[BeeSting]

We have signed Serhat Tasdemir on a season long loan from Peterborough after he rejected a permanent move.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Directly to start with, they said categorically right from the off that there would be no Directors loans or anything I've that. The sponsorship deals, Documentary, social media presence, Membership scheme etc is all part of a multi pronged marketing campaign to grow the commercial base of the club. Its all about making us self sustainable. If it all works they will make their money back quite soon.

If the season ticket sales take off like the new shirts did thats another large chunk of cash. Part of the appeal of us as a club was that not only were we free but we had no debt, which is credit to the WST.

Cheers. Sounds like what most new owners say when they take over, certainly the ones we’ve had. Though Wrexham’s seems a different situation to most new ownerships.

 

[jacobncfc]

Wrexham are sound because someone like Reynolds (I also had never heard of the other fella) has too much to lose reputationally by leaving them in a financial state. Who knows whether it’ll work on the pitch, but they’ll definitely come out of the other side in a much better place.

 

[Steve_Wafc]

Wasn’t he once seen as the next big thing? Like he was expected to play in at least the championship by now

 

[BeeSting]

Yeah one of those peterborough sign expecting to sell on for millions. Hasn’t worked out for him there only playing 20 games. Played on loan at Oldham under Kewell last season.

 

[Steve_Wafc]

See I’m not expecting a season like last season with Mullin, Wrexham fans always want this “20 goal striker” and that’s all well and good but I much prefer a team that scores goals rather than rely on one person, because if they get injured, you’re screwed. If we get 3 or 4 players on 10+ goals then we’ll be up there. I just want Mullin to contribute to the team and make us a genuine threat in attack and I think he will do

That was the best thing about them being revealed as the potential investors for me. Every potential future owner was going to be met with trepidation from our fan base in fear of the past repeating itself, but then you see it’s these two and you want to accept instantly. They’ve got a reputation, both in the public eye and in business, and the last thing they’d want to do is taint that by running a club into the ground. If they ever do decide to leave, which I can’t see that happening for a while the way Rob has thrown himself in (Ryan not so much, but he does the odd thing), but you can guarantee they’ll leave us in a very comfortable way and hopefully in a higher league.

 

[B2TF]

Hyde was a fee, but I can’t imagine it was that large.

Remainder on his contract would be the minimum fee- £40-50k?

 

[B2TF]

This is shaping up to be an epic battle:
The Bolton Bell-end vs The Halifax Halfwit, let battle commence.

I think we both need the challenge, the rest of yous are bread and butter for us.

 

[Magpie Mike]

Yes. I don’t think it has anything to do with the wage cap either. Just happens to be a lot of well backed ex EFL teams here right now.

However as someone alluded to earlier, this all means fucking Maidenhead or someone will have the league sewn up in April on a budget of 50p.

"fucking" Maidenhead?
Not sure what league they play in.We are Maidenhead Utd.
As regards our budget of 50p...that is a disrespectful lie.
I have it on good authority that at least 2 of our players are on £20 a month and as many packets of crisps behind the bar they can eat.

 

[B2TF]

Not one TRFC supporter with any knowledge of football was bothered about it.

Did you see what he did there? If they're bothered, you can discount them coz they don't have any knowledge of football?

 

[Soup Ladle]

I have some bad news for you…..

I'm pretending that didn't happen

 

[B2TF]

York have signed Mark Beck from Harrogate,very happy needed some height.

That's a great one for that level, wonder if our gaffer knew he was available.

I understand your club has come into some money now and things are looking much better. But you arn't doing yourself any favours talking all " Big billy bollox" like that.

You again.

We aren't big. Never have been, but neither are Cambridge United. Or Bristol Rovers for that matter.

 

[Master D]

You again.

No idea why all these big League One clubs are down here poking their noses in anyway tbh.

 

[GEORGE]

I never said we were. But when you start saying " Non league standard shed " and " We are on our way back up " It stinks of "Big Billy Bollox "

 

[GEORGE]

You are obviously referring to Cambridge fans here I presume.

 

[Fyldefan]

They paid a lot of money to us for taz. Shame he hasn’t worked out

 

[chief]

We've RATTLED the whole of League One.

 

[EnglishRed]

I never said we were. But when you start saying " Non league standard shed " and " We are on our way back up " It stinks of "Big Billy Bollox "

The first was a factual statement.

The second was my hope. Where is the Big Billy Bollocks there?

"I hope we never get promoted". Is that better?
