Sir Thomas Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi, Just came on to take a quick swipe at the chairman and board of directors in charge of my Kettering side at the moment. I have transformed the team from nothing into a team who won the BSN, won the play-offs in BSP and just won Coca Cola League 2. I am currently in L1, to get this far the money i have spent, £7,000 on a polish keeper from bolton. My wage bill is £50k the budget is £30k . My point is the lack of ambition from the board disheartens me , no money for better players no wage money, seemingly no direction but Imraan Ladak says he loves the club! I need him to step down NOW!!! anyway i can give him a push?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil220779 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sadly no. I too am at Kettering, but only in season 2 currently pushing for promotion/play-offs. I must admit, my wage budget was significantly increased after promotion, but my overall finances are in the red, so the board can't afford to give me any funds, even if I sell first. What are your finances like? I would assume you are making good profit to expect a higher wage and transfer budget. How did you manage to go so much above budget with your wages? Perhaps this lack of financial control is the reason your board won't give you cash to spend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Thomas Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Everything was fine until the dreaded league win bonus, completely wiped me out, i was 350k in the black but had to pay out 750k league bonus and 100k cup. Since i have been at the club i havent once had a parent club or feeder club because imraan "Doesnt see the point in formink links with other clubs at this time". I ****ing do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Thomas Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Its difficult to make to much profit with the size of rockingham road but i always do make profit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil220779 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I too can't get a parent club. I'm making slight profit every month, about 10k and am currently 70k in the red. If the club is in debt then obviously the board won't be giving you any more money, especially with your wage budget issues. Looks like it might be a long difficult road to the EPL, I was hpoing to see a financial boost upon making into CCL2, assuming one day that I do. My wage budget is currently 18k a week(I'm a few hundred under) and think I already have a squad that can survive CCL2 without any aditions, so I'll be trying to keep my wages well under budget in the future in hope to get either a capacity increase or a decent transfer budget, due to having a strong over-all balance. I'm glad you posted about this though, gives me something to think about in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Thomas Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nice, Here's a few players that might be of use to you if you need them; Joe Magunda rb leicester loan Sam williamson Mcfc free transfer Alan Sheehan Lb leicester loan Tomi Ameobi (Shola's Brother) FC leeds Loan Jamie forrester Lincoln free transfer Kyle Nix unsure AML Hal robson-kanu amr Michael Hazeldine fc All quality BSP-L1 players imo Ive actually just left Kettering after finishing 9th in CCL1! I have accepted the Bari job in serie A! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Thomas Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Not the Bari job sorry, Brescia, Woops! good job it isnt real life and i said that in a paper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofos Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 why would you work all the way up to CL1 and then abandone them. I am alfreton and every year I win the league (without cheating) and I am currently 1st on CL1. I have to get them the champions league before I leave them. Also I have no youth academy and no reserve team. I find it that it helps with the finances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Thomas Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Because i couldnt of taken them any further with lack of financial support! im not abandoning them, their chairman has broken their little hearts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Thomas Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 It was a right pain, i thrive to build a succesful youth side for the level and feeder clubs are an integral part of my plan and routine!! bastard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
