Swordy has def got a point inasmuch that finances are probably at the bottom end of expectations. Gates are static compared with last season, but wages and expenses have increased. Beer takings are down too. Still, saving money on the physio during an injury crises doesn't add up in my book.

Sounds harsh I know but I can think of at least a couple of bench-warming or absent players I would have let go before Beth !

If we are getting rid of the physio to save money then I suggest that all is not rosey in the financial department. The club may well have set the budget expecting 3000 as an average and we are well short of that each home game and the way we are playing will remain as short as that. They may be hoping for a decent FA Cup run nut at the moment I think we will struggle against a good home side in Needham Market. If sacking Beth is for financial reasons then I think any further investment in the team is highly unlikely . I said we would finish 14th I am now not so certain I am now thinking bottom 4 and possibly even bottom. I’ve always supported the idea it’s better to be relegated than spend silly money we can’t afford. Even if that idea is sorely tested many times this season, I still support financial prudence. If Beth’s departure is as it’s being portrayed it may prove a false economy. Time will tell.

If teams like Wealdstone, Gateshead and Maidenhead can afford to be in this league, we're seriously doing something wrong if we can't afford it.

Understandable emotion and incredulity, empathy and some disgust on this site and the FB page.
I believe that this strength of feeling means that fans, and Beth, deserve a word of explanation from Oliver/Terry/Bill on this one, as they are a great Senior Management Team who have always been morally upstanding and so in this case I think that they have a moral responsibility to justify/explain their decision and/or re-instate her and/or "see her alright" if there were valid reasons for moving her on..............walls of silence don't sit well with paying fans at times like this, and wont help in increasing attendances that are already static.
Fans have no RIGHT to know what decisions are made at the top but sometimes it is good for clubs to be open and honest when there is so much widespread emotion involved - if indeed the club WANTS to stay engaged with its fanbase?

They don't care about the fans if they did they would never had agreed to a Friday night swap for Notts County. They had 2 answers Yes or No and they chose yes to f**k up all the plans made by supporters, and its not the first time they have knifed us in the back over the years. The fact that they have not even announced her departure with or without a than you for your efforts speaks volumes,well it does to me. If anyone should have gone it's Big George our defensive coach that's going we'll isn't it,as suspect off the pitch as he was on it. I think Beth will be better off away from these backstabbing cunts.🤬🤬🤬

I think you're on track. Hak and the players always spoke highly of her and you could see the respect between them. My guess is it's purely financial and comes from higher up. My guess is that your guess is wrong ! I doubt very much the Beth was paid £zillions to help fund her fleet of supercars. More likely that she is the scapegoat for up to 10 of our playing squad getting injured and staying injured for so long. According to her mum on Facebook my guess wasn't too far off the mark. Pure cost cutting and nothing to do with Hak.

I don't understand any of this., How do we know if the club haven't announced it? Why haven't they announced it? How can it make any sense getting rid of the physio? Who the hell is going to run onto the pitch and treat the players - a fat old bloke with a bucket and sponge??
Actually, if they're paying, I could do that As long as I can walk back...

They will no doubt have a cheaper replacement ready probably a family member of a certain owner.

Typical forum bollocks. Get off your high horses and maybe see if the club issue a statement as to why, not that it really is our right to know. It is a shame, but Beth will get another physio job elsewhere and it will work out for her.

Couldn't agree more. Some explanation must be forthcoming from the owners as to why such a popular and hard working member of the staff has been " discarded " after 5 years!! Your credibility is on the line here Oliver, Terry and Bill ??
