An idea:

 

[werthersoriginal]

IF we were to receive £6m for Mills/ BDK, would Eric be more likely to provide evidence of funds to get us out of the embargo?
Is it possible that we could get out of the embargo and sign players?

But if we did they wouldn’t be as good!

An idea:

Screw sponsorship spaces, supporters names would be better and wouldn't fall foul of league rules you wouldn't think.

Just what everyone wants, a replica shirt with 'Carterton Dave & Shirl & Kids' scrawled under the right nipple.

We're poor now, needs must.

You think I wouldn’t immediately go and buy that?!

I’d buy my first shirt if it had that on it. Maybe a ‘Kev woz ere’ as well

Double the price to get your name over a nipple.

Shotgun bellybutton!

The club have said January so I think it’s very hopeful to expect us to be out of it before then, they would have a better idea than anyone on here, they are almost ITK.

I have seen no evidence that anyone from the club is remotely ITK.

In comparison to some posters on here obviously not, but compared to the general public someone must have a bit of an idea what’s going on? Even if it’s only Janice the tea lady.

Wise choice - will get expanded to a bigger size on most of the fanbase ....

 

[Foley]

It is possible that they will leave and we have no replacements leaving us really light

 

[GreenMachine]

Yeah we have to get on with it unfortunately let's hope these young lads can step up and shock a few this season who knows the bench maybe stronger than we think..

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

If we assume Mills and BDK are going, and we cannot replace players due to the embargo, are we not putting ourselves in a much more precarious position and thinning out the squad to unsustainable levels?

 

[OxRox]

Whatever happens there's not much we can do about it now.

Let's get behind the players and coaching staff.

WIN OR LOSE......UP THE Us!

Yes.

Of course - see Sheffield Wednesday last season, and many, many other examples.

When a team screws up their finances, and the taps get turned off, the next season ain't much fun for the fans.

At least we've been left with a very good League One defense, so we probably won't be getting clobbered every week.

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Seems like we just need to keep Mills and BDK. Can’t see the point in selling them right now.

 

[Jaboysmith]

The board could earn a lot of good will by seeing that and deciding enough is enough and putting some cash down

 

[samstudd]

106 points is off. I’ll take 50

That is the problem none of them currently have the funding required to comply with the new rules, that's why Erik is looking for new investment /sale .

 

[Manorlounger]

According to Ramsay, neither Mills nor BDK are going. Mills in training next week, BDK will take longer. I just don't know anymore.

Do you have a link for the interview mate? Be interested to hear his thoughts after that game too…

I might be deaf but I didn’t hear him say mills and brian will be staying. I did stop listening after his interview

But they will be training. That's the crucial part of his statement.

 

[Toe knee]

It's the training alone that got me whystrange answer......

 

[samstudd]

I love the optimism. But him saying they’ve trained alone and will join the group next week is hardly him saying they’re not going.

 

[samstudd]

Their ITK is saying Mills has been training with them
