Rumours of Jim Rushe threatening to resign over the current reckless spending, and also going back on the seddon deal with Hyde due to not having the funds agreed.......But they're a smashing club and do tremdously well etc etc etc
VICS ARE SET TO MISS OUT ON THIER NUMBER ONE SUMMER TARGET.
The club were ready to smash their transfer record to bring England C international striker Gareth Seddon to the Marston’s Arena.
Instead they are heading for a row with the forward’s owners, Hyde United.
“Northwich have broken their promise to us and the player,” said Tony Beard, the Tigers’ director of football.
“It’s totally unacceptable — we struck a deal at the end of May when they agreed in writing to pay an undisclosed fee yet now they say they do not have the money.”
Not so, according to Vics’ owner Jim Rushe.
He says the club still wanted to sign Seddon but the details of any deal would have to change.
“We’ve been honest with Hyde from the outset and all the way through the negotiations,” he said.
“The economic climate has changed considerably over the past six months since we first expressed an interest in the player and, as a result, we simply can’t afford to make the full payment up front.”
Rushe told the Guardian that he had offered Beard a down payment today, Wednesday, that would account for more than half of the five-figure fee agreed by the two clubs.
The rest of the cash would be payed in instalments over the course of the season.
He added: “I fully understand the frustration of Hyde but we had to restructure the deal.
“I spoke to Tony on Saturday and apologised to him for what has happened but the facts remain the same.”
Beard’s response has been to contact the FA to complain.
It is now likely that former Bury hotshot Seddon, 27, will remain at the Blue Square North club to see out the remaining two years of his contract.
Dino Maamria had hoped he could join the squad for training this week.
“Gareth was flattered by Vics’ offer,” added Beard.
“Now he is completely disillusioned.”

So the financial climate has changed that much between the end of May and July 9th? A fundamentally dishonest bunch of incompetent blaggers, same sh1t, different smell at the two sided home of Manchester United Reserves. Still with the full time status and investment in the squad, gates are bound to shoot up meaning more mon, oh no hang on.

Mind you, given the current econonomic climate who would offer credit?
Ancient proverb say...in the time of the credit crunch it is the ccj who doesn't get the mortgage.

So they pay some now and some in instalments over the course of the season, during which time they go into administration and offer to pay 2.5p in the pound !!!
