If Dick Knight cant even sign a striker from Grays Athletic how the f*** are we supposed to think this man can deliver a £20 million + stadium?
I am very concerned.

Maybe signing a person to play football is different to project managing the funding and build of a footall stidium. I am not an expert in either but I would assume they require different skills, knowledge and technical expertise.

Quite right, Perry. Slightly different 'projects' don't you think, Dan?
If Grays rejected the offer, why would we want to pay more than his value if there is no guarantee that he will improve the team?
dunno

Of course they require different skills, the Grays player was an example, but I would assume that signing and sub £150k football player is infinately easier than building a ground and we cant do it for toffee!!!!!

A Financial Construction Executive would not know here to begin in negotiating a deal/contract for a football player so I would think he /she would find it harder.

I know it sounds easy but you cant make a club sell, even a non league one, especially when £150k is all you have to barter with, but even more so you cant make a player sign a contract! Players have their own agendas, and throw a greedy agent into the mix and sometimes you have no chance! They 'advise' these players, even though they know fook all about football but they have them by the short and curlies because of the percentage they take. Unfortunately these days it's not always about football, its all about the money.

It was a bad tackle wasn't it!!
The point is that an awful lot of similar sized clubs seem to manage within these obvious contraints. Have a look at The Times transfer deadline section today and you'll see.Race said:I know it sounds easy but you cant make a club sell, even a non league one, especially when £150k is all you have to barter with, but even more so you cant make a player sign a contract!

Re: Re: Question?
I said the Grays player was an EXAMPLE!!! DUH!
Replace him with any of the othe 6000 strikers we have been linked with if you like. Other clubs manage to sign players, we get f*** all.
We are trying to sign a player from Grays, one from Barnet, and another from Leyton f***ing Orient who cant even get in the team. If these teams managed to get these players then why cant we get similar?
In fact looking at the players we tried to sign yesterday you have to worry about where this club is heading anyway.
