I predicted this would happen last week. There will be no expense spared at Fleetwood this summer.

I would've thought he'd still be good enough to play in League 2. I'm surprised he's dropping back to the Conference but i suppose money talks.

Simple mathematics says that only two clubs can be promoted from this league in any one season. That means that a lot of clubs are going to spend big money and be very disappointed.

Let's see where Fleetwood are in two years time.

Higher in the football pyramid than us,like all the other unibond league clubs that have spent most of their exsistance below us and now over taken us by spending the money needed to attract a decent team,from the huge wealth of talent available in the northwest,Accrington, Fleetwood,Macclesfield, Morecambe, all unibond dross that are outperforming us.

We can't spend money we haven't got.

Let's hope steps are taken and we are successful in our efforts to bring new backers into the club.

We must just be unlucky,all these other clubs manage to finding backing to take them from the NPL into the football league yet weve never even had so much as in enquiry

The fact is that investment would be great and we could sign Craney and keep Senior and Youngy and maybe even have a crack at the play-offs.

But making investment sustainable is ridiculously hard at this level. We cant just get money in the bank and spend it directly on the playing squad. Investment needs to make money over the long term, so developing a cracking social or getting us deeper into the community, or getting better corporate facilities at the stadium. Even if we get investment it would be suicide to get in players on contracts on decent wages, investment will bear fruit in a couple of years if we are lucky enough to get it. The last thing we want is some cretin to sky-rocket us to a false economy.

Its not what the squad was built on. We represent different values, and we are happy all season when those values win out over the likes of Fleetwood et al. Now we have the downside of these values. We miss out on players all the time. Someone made a good point the other day, Fleetwood can only sign so many players, there's plenty to go round.

Have faith, GH and KM will find what we need.
