Can it be a more bizaar setup at vics?
Northwich Victoria manager Dino Maamria has been told by the Blue Square Premier club that there is no more money available for transfers.
We've got 16 players and that's it. We're having a good pre-season but the league is different and 16 players isn't enough, I want to continue building.
"I'm ambitious and I want to move forward. When I sat down with the board at the back end of last season we agreed a certain budget and I was working well within that budget.
"I had enough money to bring in four players but now I've been told I can't bring any more in and I'm four players short."
To make matters worse, Maamria currently only has 13
of his 16-man squad available for action.
