Given the number of players we have paid this season and in previous then it would arguably have been better to keep 1 higher paid better player rather than 2 makeweights.

With rumours abound that our players are demanding a big mid season pay rise I can see our squad being dramatically reduced in the new year as I'm not sure where the players think the money is coming from.Any pay rise would have to come at the expense of team mates being moved on, not sure how this would help morale at the club or in the dressing room. I will say though that these are still just rumours but rumours from trustworthy source.

Our players have long been at the lower end of National League pay scales; hence the fact we’re one of the only clubs in the country to make a surplus ten years in a row. I certainly wouldn’t begrudge them a cost of living rise, if we could afford it. To do so would mean reducing the squad size and increasing the chances of relegation, with a return to NLS wages. It’s a tricky one for all sides concerned.

The thing is the team by and large are on one year fixed contracts. Finances of the club must be worse than anticipated anyhow with home attendances down. If we were pushing up the league with support to match it would be a different ball game. Not convinced that players are motivated by earnings very much. Reliable source or not I just find it a bit hard to believe.

Talking of rumours it seems that the club is seriously looking at a player currently registered with Shamrock Rovers. But has strong links to Maidstone. Can anyone put a name to him ?

It’s a tricky one for all sides concerned. Not really tricky,we don't need 32 players so at least 10 of them could be moved on in January.A squad of 22 is ample for any club and the money saved could be given to the greedy side who are already on good money for half a weeks work. I think a few of pur support staff could bugger off as well and take their computers with them, if you want to know how far someone has run and how many times he's kicked a ball then open your f**king eyes and watch him,it worked perfectly well for over 100 years.
