SCMP is really easy to get by.

Owners and managers know exactly what other clubs are offering players, and that’s what we are on about!

My Dobson info directly from Richie Wellens.

You literally haven’t got a clue about our finances obviously but we were pretty clear where about we stood last season, I know we are now spending a six figure sum for the first time under Clough so I suppose it’s natural for you to try and make that fee go up in size in true TFF style :lol:
Last season you loved to play the 'plucky old Mansfield' card. Rest of us knew you had a top 5 budget at that level and you certainly aren't at a bottom 5 budget at this level.

Did Darragh actually say 3x specifically regarding Brunt and Wrexham? I listened to the podcast and did not hear that but may have missed it. I don’t think he mentioned Brunt at all to be honest. He did say fair play to Wrexham though.
It was £3k btw, more believable but still a bit pie in the sky imo. Why would we need to pay that much more?

6th is what was widely bandied about last season, and yeah it’s definitely not a bottom 5 budget not even close, I’ll pull the receipts out if you’d like?

A quick search on here with the words Mansfield and Budget will show posts from myself and others saying exactly that unfortunately for you.

You probably aren't offering enough in that case.

Or you’re offering way too much for players? Sounds like you are paying more than you need to. Got to be more sensible on the negotiating front.

If we offered 4 times what they were going to be paying, and the average wage on league one is 6k.... for the sake of arguement.... do you honestly think we are paying George Dobson over 20k a week?

Even if we are paying him 12k, which is more likely (but would still be a very large wage for this level) , that means they were offering him less than he was likely on at Charlton.

We do pay a lot but the figures people throw around about us are way off.

Are you and Englishred the same person or do you both always come together in twos sitting on each others lap? :lol:

Like I said - got no issue with you lot being awful negotiators and spending more than you need to, you’ve got the money - but just like Gillingham fans the other year if you try and downplay your spending it just means your trying to hide the reality.

I think Brunt will be worth it btw, he is absolutely quality. Your best defender this season.

We aren't trying to downplay our spending-others inflate our spending. We know how much we spend it's shown by the financial returns.

We will have had the biggest budget last season. We won't this year, although in terms of wages it will be up there.

All I am saying is that if Leyton Orient are offering 25% of what we are, even if we are paying people astronomical amounts, they are offering less than the market.

I would think orient must have to pay fairly well just by being a london team

A seven figure fee from Wrexham be hilarious considering the last page or two :lol:

Why are Wrexham fans getting their knickers in a twist because other clubs point out the money they’re throwing around?

Just embrace it lads, enjoy it whilst it lasts but don’t be in denial.

After Begovic couldn't agree personal terms, it sounds like we will now get Karl Hein in on loan from Arsenal. Not a lot of League experience but at 22 has played 30 times for his country. Interestingly, was given a contract by Arsenal recently whereas Okonkwo was let go so must be well regarded at the club.

Not going by what their manager said about us signing Ruel. Said we are paying him 40% more than their highest earner. Bristol Rovers mind..

That would be a top signing.

Precious about being a financially doped hobby club, I guess. Like Salford, but Welsh.

Spoke too soon. Sounds like Real Vallodolid have pipped us. About the 5th keeper now to snub us when close to signing.

We aren't. But people make stuff up with zero evidence. Noone is disputing we offer high wages. But four times what Leyton Orient were offering someone? it's likely bollocks whatever Richie Wellens apparently said. And if it isnt it shows they aren't offering enough.

I see Will Evans has signed for Mansfield. Reckon that’s a good signing for them.

Seems like we’ve paid at most upfront £150k with it potentially reaching £200k with add ons and that’s from Newport local rag. First six figure paid by Mansfield since Clough joined a good few years ago now.

Got some good options upfront with Evans, Will Swan, Lee Gregory and DKD in particular.

Interest is definitely picking up for the latter with Barnsley on a second, or maybe third bid rejected and a bid from at least one other side. It’s either sell or a new contract.
