kyle Jacobs signs for chorley?
-
It's all about the money, was offered captaincy and improved contract b
-
I think Chorley chuck a fair bit of cash about. As for County, A season in the CN should have taught lessons, hopefully for them they will be more clued up this season. I wish them good luck, it must be such a culture change. Imagine us vanishing and popping up in the NWCL.
-
I'm sure Kyle Jacobs is quoted as saying he wanted to try his luck at a higher level! Footballers eh!
-
At the end of the day why shouldn't the kid play for more money I'd do my job for someone else for pound an hour more

I really think County fans missed a trick not starting their own AFC type venture following relegation.
I know some people have a bit of an aversion to phoenix clubs, and they're entitled to that opinion, but that club is sinking further and further into the sh*t due to woeful mismanagement at board level. The fans own a club's history. I can't help but feel if there was any way they could have gone it alone they should have.
Midtable in that sh*te regional league when you're pulling in 3,000 fans regularly is truly diabolical.

Phoenix clubs tend to work a lot better if they can stay at their old ground. Telford, Chester and Halifax all bounced back quickly. The likes of Runcorn and Scarborough are taking a lot longer.
I don't know if it would be that easy for a new Stockport club to.play at Edgeley Park.
-
Halifax are not a fan's club. The Halifax FC playing today was established by the same businessmen directors who put the old club into Administration and then bid for it against the Halifax supporters trust and were successful as the Administrator
thought traditional business men (failed) were better than fans.

Most footballers like most people are motivated mainly by money.
A lot of Stockport fans seem baffled as to why players don't choose them for the buzz of playing in front of 2,500 fans each week even when they are not winning.
I think more of them are coming round to the fact that footballers will play for the dog and duck if the money is there and release a statement to say how pleased they are to be part of the team that will take the dog and duck into the league by 2022.
Stockport has always been a club that has fascinated me. If they were up there and winning they would be getting 5,000, such huge potential.
However for some reason at the end of last season they started building up stuff about players they were signing, and how they were going to be picking off the best players from here and there. They have done none of it so now have a lot of explaining to do to already annoyed fans.
-
To be fair chorley are at same level as county and will finish higher
-
Indeed Jim, sorry, reading that back it looked like I was comparing Chorley to the Dog and Duck which I wasn't.
Just making the point that the pull of crowds and history rarely works over cold hard cash, which makes sense but is sometimes hard for fans to hear.

As well as the increased money, sometimes it can be a 'win-win' as well because a player moves to a league where it is easier for him to perform to a good standard.........probably not in this case because Chorley will be expected to do well

I've just left for current job for one nearly double my salary.....made a point of texting round my former colleagues telling them how much i'll miss them and how I'm moving for personal reasons....

Quite. And the point is that the real world works like that. Imagine being a player and trying to explain to the missus that you've turned down say an extra £100+ quid a week. Say £500 a month but you're playing at a club with more fans and they used to be in the league.
If you're lucky the response will be something along the lines of "great, does that give us a discount on the gas bill/mortgage/nursery fees/price of petrol or something?"
-
Great post ballers I'm also laughing out loud
-
.....and if you're not lucky (on offer at William Hill at odds of 1-100) she'll slap you and call you a gormless """" !

Kyle was offered the captaincy and an increased salary but he said he wanted to play at a higher level, when the offers weren't exactly flooding in he was given a cut off date to get back to the club, then the door was closed. Chorley made him an offer but there were no takers higher up the pyramid so he took what was on offer, he's a good lad but reports are the kid we've signed from Oldham is a very good replacement.
-
Just to add in response the the title of the thread, it's very very bad.
