Wrexham have had amongst the highest wage bill for whichever division they were in for the past few years. That certainly sounds like paying high wages to attract the players they want ( nothing wrong with that of course). We will of course have to wait and see whether they continue to do this in the Championship. - Today

Match kick off times are favourable for me so I'll probably watch a few games but won't go out of my way to make sure that I'm sat in front of a TV for any particular fixture. US TV is promoting it well but tickets sales are low. Add in the US government's declaration that immigration officers will be present to aid security at stadiums means that I doubt they'll sell what they projected.

Can I ask who Wrexham have thrown these huge wages at to sign? Players are attracted to the club due to the current high profile, their wages will be in the lower levels for a Championship club. Google indicates that their wage bill is about 2/3 of ours. That seems to dismiss your view of them throwing huge wages at players (unless you think that’s what we do). Can you share where your intel about these sky high Wrexham wages comes from?? -

I reckon JDT would be perfect for Brentford but he's not even in the running -

They should in theory be pretty simple, get us promoted and you're set for life. -

Looks like B. Emerton bottom left to me. Is it from that era? Edit: Which would maybe make No. 20 top right David Thompson. And No. 2 in that team (bottom right) was Lucas Neill. Googled his signature and it matches: -

I didn't mind Broughton. At a well run club I think he'd do the business. -
Hes been no miss at all and i knew he wouldn't be, Yuki is twice the player and even Cantwell who probably took his big wage slot has offered more appearance wise.

If players were tied down the likes of Wrexham and Brum wouldn't be after them because they'd have to pay big money and offer big wages. As it is frees or contracts ticking down coupled with the fact these lads have been on low or modest wages means they are easy pickings. If our lads were on decent contracts then head turning is just head turning it happens all the time and if no big offer comes in they just have to get on with it where they are. Again contracts ticking down or short term deals means the head gets turned and doesn't turn back because they are just watching the clock tick down to better money and more ambition. Ok players will always leave or be sold but here now this club has created a noose for its own neck which means in 90% of cases instead of 50% they'll be off. Still, the middlemen and agents are happy and some would say that's no coincidence either. -
They were in pots 3 and 4 by merit 😜 I do get your points, but I still feel like that last tournament opened up massively for England. And it’s a good job it did as we still could only draw 4 of the first 5 games in 90 minutes.

Bring back Gregg Broughton. The only man who seemingly understood how contract negotiations worked -
In the FA Cup each round is reverted into a lottery. In your example, if Milwall were a country, they’d have faced an Arsenal or a Man Utd in the group stage. As it is, the lottery took that fate away from them Within international football, you balance the odds in your favour by making yourself a top seeded nation. Once you are put into your groups everything else is then decided by the merit of your performances. Had England not won their group, we’d have been more likely to face sides who came first in their respective group, therefore more in form. Most things in international football are by merit - you come Top Seed by merit, you win your group by merit and from there on the route is planned out. If we had come 2nd we’d have played Germany and then Spain. It was the merit of our group stage performances which meant we didn’t. By far the luckiest thing in international football is the country you qualify for. From then on in, merit of your performances are king. And in Euro 24 pots 3 and 4 included Croatia, Italy, Holland and Switzerland who are no mugs. Switzerland especially was a banana skin - as Italy found out in the knock outs, Germany in the groups and France in the tournament before. I was fearful for that game for sure

So you arent alarmed or annoyed by our repeated inability to get our best player signed up? Or even to get contracts in front of them well before now? You dont see a pattern and just put it all down to numerous individual situations? We shouldn't need to offer £30k. We should have offered these players new deals 12 months ago. There is no excuse but the owners and board will be pleased that you are doing your best to defend every single thing they fuck up.
