Bedese Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 No Europe next year, and we're in big trouble. We're over 1m in debt already, we've got an ageing squad with not much talent coming through of late, and our best players are likely going to be sold for peanuts to try and clear some of the debt. It's going to be a bit of a transition period coming up, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question Player and staff wages are (expectedly) the main cause, but that loan the board took out to pay off the new stadium isn't helping Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 We're basically back to a net balance of £0 now, but we did have to sell two players to get some funds in: Gibson was being primed as our future LWB/CM. Disappointing to lose him, but it's more important to get our finances back on track right now. He was a rotational player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedese Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 The best player by far at the club - and the best player we've ever had - has a year left on his contract and it's looking like he'll be leaving when it runs out to move to a bigger club. Here he is: What an absolutely class CB. Desperately hoping we find a way to keep onto him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Youth Intake Day! Big fan of this kid for three reasons: We haven't had a 5* PA player in a while. The English/Sammarinese dual nationality players are often pretty decent, and We need a keeper, and I like a keeper with decent size. Looks promising. Good mentals on this lad. Another decent prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 A sad day as two of our stalwarts in the centre of midfield retire, taking 716 appearances and 122 caps with them.

Cheers! The other Sammarinese clubs seem to follow a similar cycle. Bring in players from abroad - usually young players from the Italian leagues who didn't make the grade there but are a lot better than the quality of player in the league here - and use them to power them as a team domestically. The players leave for bigger things in 2 or 3 years, the club runs out of money and they fall back down to earth. Tre Penne were the powerhouse for a few years but they're currently 182k in the red and came 4th this year in the league, so my guess is that they're in for a big slide and we see a new challenge emerge. Virtus, Domagnano and Fiorentino have come on strong lately, despite never having been much cop before, so chances are it may be one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
