What's £155,000?

[dave.woodhall]

Four weeks wages for Habib Beye. Or a club with 125 years of history. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/k/kidderminster_harriers/9390275.stm

I know !

Do you know, I am so skint this week, I have had to buy the weeks milk from Aldi, as it is 30p more expensive in Morrisons - and I can't afford the extra £1.80.

And then you see him on that much - it's sickening.

But you can't blame him - it's who authorised it I would like to know.

The thing is though, I have read people saying "With freidals troubles, we should organise him a testimonial".

So, a guy who earns £40k per week, been in top flight football for 15yrs so is probably one of the top earners in Premier League, and then invested his money badly, should get a hand out, whilst our near neighbour gets wound up for 4 weeks wages !

Truly does show what is wrong with football !

Players at the top I wish would give 5k of their wages a week to one of the bottom league clubs. Or even a few give a k a week, there are enough players on 30k plus a week that could afford a grand of it, and sustain the lower league players. It would enhance the stability of the clubs and the opportunities for players to come through. The lack of wealth re distribution throughout the game is wrong. I also believe lower league sides in league 1 and 2 that are never going to be big enough to get to the prem should look at official affiliations where a parent club can blood their youngsters through league football more.

It's a shame you don't like to see clubs in that position.

I would hope we help them. We had a fundraiser game there the year they didn't get entrance to the league

(only for Wigan to stay up at Springfield park which was 1000 times worse !)

footballs fooked  ;-(

Hope they pull if off, but a CVA is hard work I guess even if they manage that.

Pity the man that owns OGL won't bail them out - it's SFA to him also.

Football is a just a bit rotten really isn't it

[The Left Side]

This just sums up what is completely wrong with football!

[Dave Cooper please]

It's a shame you don't like to see clubs in that position.

Well, if you're not going to Blackpool they are at home on Saturday.
I can recommend the King and Castle by the station (five minutes from the ground), and the food at the stadium is fantastic, you don't get shepherds pie in most grounds.

[Legion]

Oh dear. That's a real shame. My next-door neighbour when I was little used to play for them and I've always looked out for how they are getting on in the league.

Could Villa buy the club and use them as sister nursery club ? That way they can influence playing style and use our young players to gain experience higher level than reserve.

That's sad

I remember when they beat the Blues

I can't see that one happening

 A more practical way of assisting might be to organise a friendly.

Does anyone remember that documentary where Karen Brady was dismissing them before an FA Cup tie - only for them to knock the knuckledraggers out?
