Player contracts

This is presumption. Long term could mean the end of next season. :shrug:

You may well be right so i have added a ? to my post!(But maybe you already know the actual answer):fishing:

But as we have paid a fee for the player and even though he is only 21 I would hope that it would be longer that till the end of next season:D

btw do you approve of a fee being paid and long term contract for Ryan Dickson! I know that i do, maybe this is some of the 200K investment that Dyke was telling us about previously!:fishing:

Why would they bother saying 'undisclosed fee' if there wasnt one?? :confused:

One of the clubs does not wish to say what the fee for the player was. Plymouth might not want it made public that he was free if they'd agreed a fee with Darlington for example

Of those expiring at the end of the month I'd like to see us keep Hamer and Shakes until the end of the season. Of those expiring in June I'd like to see us give an extension to Heywood and take up Montague's and Dark's option. Might as well give Seb Brown another year. He isn't on much I would imagine and he's young and considering Scott trusts him to be on the bench with Simon Brown injured I would imagine he sees something in Seb. So it's goodbye to Peters in the summer.

updated for now. 22 players still in the squad.
 

Player contracts

Not looking like a very strong squad at the moment.

Where are these new signings.

We have had 5 this year (4 loans....)

A lot of excess baggage released

A striker on the horizon......is what we hope for, but lets not sign just anyone...
 

Player contracts

The loan players will be a month from when we signed them.

So Parkes Feb 17, Stone Feb 18, Sankofa Feb 21.

Unless markbfc knows better :scratch:

i knew someone would've written the dates down! :D

Would be interesting to know if the playing budget has now been increased from the original figure at the start of the year. I cannot see how with the players that have left most of who would have received some sort of payout and the new players signed that we are still under budget! So do we assume that the budget has been increased!

Rule 1 of middle management: Don't poke around too much, you might find things you don't like.

Personally, I'm just grateful we still have a football team to watch.

The budget has not been increased and all of the "ins and outs" have been achieved within the budget inherited by AS upon the departure of TB.

Which is power to Andy's elbow. There was some serious wheeling and dealing done in January and I think it's obvious to say the squad is far stronger than the one on December 10.

It is a pleasure to deal with him and Ian Jones. AS has all of the numbers at his fingertips and knows to within the penny where the playing budget has gone. He was also well aware and understood that it was a question of players leaving before replacements were signed. At no time was the playing budget exceeded even for a short time on a "bridging" basis and never did he ask if he could sign so and so and he was sure that if he could such and such could be shipped out "next week". He understands the financial realities of life at League Two level. He has managed a very difficult and demanding January transfer window without an assistant manager and he has my admiration and total respect.

Two months ago the Team Manager had gone, the CEO followed him out of the door, two directors had stepped down from the BFC board and Bees United had a new chairman. There had also been recent demonstrations in the Braemar Road forecourt at the way the club was beng run and particularly at the results and the method of play on the field. The upheaval and changes (which this writer regarded as essential) could have been a total disaster and that we not only survived but prospered is due in no small part to AS stepping up to the plate and making the decision regarding the Team Manager a straightforward one but also David Heath and Ian Jones putting in long and unpaid hours for the benefit of the club. The staff at GP also deserve the thanks of supporters for getting on with the job at what must have been a very difficult time.

Now back to those cold hamburgers.......... :)

The latest issue of TITS revealed that Andy was asked if he wanted an Assistant but chose to use the salary to put towards new players instead. Is this true?

I haven't read it but no that is not correct.

How's that for pedantry!

PS Well done as one of "the few" who are guiding the club back to a firm foundation for the future... and get those burgers sorted lol

To think what Andy's achieve both in terms of on the pitch and the way he's developed the squad - it's nothing short of phenomenal. I'd love to see the current squad in League 1 - I don't think we'd have any worries. :sorted:

Very good news and well done to all involved as it could have easily blown the buget out of the water!

Methinks you're getting a little carried away there! Just look at the way Barnet tore us apart at times last night. League One teams wouldnt be so forgiving. We're heading in the right direction but there's a hell of a long way to go before we can be competitive in League One, lets not try to run before we can walk!

My sole objection to this is that it was posted outside normal working hours. Sort it out! ;)

abee: Yes, fabulous job and great post, well done to all involved as the turnaround to date has been swift and forthright. No room for sentiment and no room for creaming a percentage off the top. Now can you see to it that those New Road bogs are given a bloody good jetwash? It's like Waterloo underpass in there. Send in the youth team with hazmat suits and some hires from HSS :sorted:

BeeH was talking to me about this on the way to Barnet. He had seen the suggestion to have them jetwashed and was gonna look into it. His own view was that if we kept the jetwash for a match day then that would avoid the necessity to have toilet paper and we could just hose people down as they come out of the bogs. I'm not sure about that one exactly but no doubt we shall read about it in a forthcoming proggy.

Yes but with one of O'Connor or Mousinho it would have been a different story on Tuesday. Sadly with both of them missing we are very lightweight in midfield at the moment. Smith is our play maker and Stone seems scared to make a tackle so as a pair they don't work. Stone next to O'Connor on the other hand might be a different story as his passing is very good and he looks more comfortable going forward. Whilst Smith and O'Connor has been a joy to watch as a pairing imo.

Right that does it. Someone is leaking (geddit???) the Acting CEO's Accrington programme notes.
