DiogoDaler Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Hearing on the grape vine that all the players from the season just gone are leaving. Big job for Macca to recruit a whole new squad if that’s the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget been cut massively for the coming season, players and staff still not received their money yet for 2nd part of the season, the chairwoman didn’t want promotion but it’s clubs being run well 🙄😂.

samsonite Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Saltash United are playing a blinder here and no one can see it. I keep seeing the words "no ambition" on this thread and on twitter. What is ambition? 1. Shane Krac was a nightmare appointment. Club got this one wrong. Brought in players offering them the world that the club couldn't sustain. Brought before committee to explain and threw his toys out of the pram and left. Hence the reason why the club couldn't pay them in full. How did he get on at Tavistock and where is he now? 🤨 2. Danny is respected at Saltash. Yes he's gutted. He was told in no uncertain terms that his budget would be slashed and there was a wind of change happening in the club that is long overdue. The club wanted him to continue and herald a new era. Have a look at how well their kids are doing in the DJM leagues and where have they ended up in the past. Not playing for Saltash thats for sure! Have a look at their St Piran League side from 2 seasons ago and chat to them. Did they believe they could break into the first team? No! Because they were being out favoured by Parkway rejects! Where are they now? 3. Macca Brown has bought into the new ethos at the club, and appears from the outside to be the perfect manager to take charge right now. Develop their own. Something the club has been slated for NOT doing for years. They don't have the financial backing that Mousehole or Parkway have so have gone in a different direction. 4. All the players from the last season appear to have buggered off. What does that say about those players, and what kind of manager would want that attitude in their club? 5. How many accounts Does Dane Bunny have on this forum? He just can't let go Buckland Jim and bigblueplymouth 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. But let's be fair, this is non league step 5 in the middle of a cost of living crisis with teams folding left right and centre. Do we really want anymore Cornish sides having to do this because of the demands of their most 'loyal' players who have lived and breathed the club for season after season for an extra tenner?

The team you had last season of the so called ex parkway players almost got you promoted to the southern league and now have all left with the manager and you think that a positive? as youth team players can now get in first 11 ??? bit harsh calling all the ex players greedy just because they are ambitious and want to move on to a club that match’s it.

Agreed it’s harsh on those players. We’ve just had one of the best seasons, those lads and Kracky were brilliant for the club. A different blend of football names started to come over and mixed with the old. On Plymouths doorstep this a positive to the bigger football world of progression. Getting to know the lads, people would have stayed and enjoyed their football I feel playing for the club they’ve enjoyed playing for over the last season/ few years. Add in they are really nice people. With the squad just finishing 2nd and showing progress year on year, it isn’t really a positive either at this point to think it’s all change (time will tell, encouraging appointment). Look at Luton, sky said get recruitment right etc. Kracky had helped with that. I don’t know much about Tavi players, some must be from outside the town too, look at where they are now. They play another countryside based town in Cinderford. If they can do it then why not us. It off course would be good for youth team players etc but that’s more an internal thing if deemed they don’t get chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mead Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 The most important fact is that every Club Committee has a duty to ensure their Club's survival. It's very simple to set a budget but far more difficult to accurately predict and/or raise the necessary income to finance it. Supporters should be happy that Clubs " live within their means", rather than risk insolvency or oblivion! quiksilver, Luke Gibbons, mattelot and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
