Could the future of BWFC lie in the hands of the players?

Basically we are in deep mire and I would not now be surprised if we enter admin before christmas as a means of preventing all our players being free to go elsewhere for nothing, not even a tribunal fee. While they are obviously our biggest single liability in financial terms the ones under contract are also assets, no matter how little they might be worth in our eyes and no potential buyer will want a club that has zero professional players left.

The kids were paid for November so this couldn't happen until after January payment due. Only the senior players weren't paid.

Didn't we try that to fund the ALF transfer, pretty sure we raised less than 40 quid.

Leeds fans would have raised millions by now.

The biggest single running cost of the club is their wages - something will have to be done about this before we move on.

They either have to collectively accept a massive reduction in them or leave the club - it's as simple as that really.

If they don't want to take a reduction, then the club can't afford to pay them, it goes into Administration and the Administrator try's to move them on to another club and if failing that end their contracts with us.

If they do take a massive reduction the club can be sold and possibly the new owners will ultimately make up their loss in earnings at a later date.

The ball is in their court.







(Knowing our lot they will more likely blast it miles over the bar from 30 yards and call everyone a fucking prick!)

There is truth to what you say. But you always use Leeds as your example. Why don't you fook off and not support them instead.
