bury and rochdale spend there money on players wages

we spend ours on backroom hangers on

if people say - its not true

how many people are taking a wage at the heath that arnt players

anyone --- list please

I'm not going to attempt to make a list but I'm not sure I could, I'm also sure you haven't got a clue either. I think you will find that the people who you state are taking all the money are actually people who do a job for the club and most are there to secure our academy status. We coach players at different age groups as academy rules dictate and we need to have staff members to satisfy those requirements.

We're looking at Oscar Gobern, who is out of contract at Huddersfield - however, so are Coventry and Walsall. I think he'd be a great signing - some actual quality to replace Ness or Grant. Only 24 aswell. He'd be at the top of our wage bill mind, but so was Grant.

Seems like he has a decent pass and at only 24, he still has development in him.

I see that Oscar Gobern, who I previously mentioned, has had his contract offer from Huddersfield retracted and has now been released. I wonder.

What position are the two new players?
