Smurf interest in Tranmere

[man in the pub]

Tranmere mate tells me the Blue One is rumoured to have put £1.5 M into the club to cover their losses. I told him to be afraid, very afraid.

I've no knowledge,  but why would he have put that amount in without control of the club? Doesnt make sense.  If he is after them, I agree,  that would be a disaster for a decent club. Would the EFL allow him to own another club after the disgraceful way he acted with us?  Who knows with that shower of <ovf censored>

Doesn't his bit on the side work for Tranmere Rovers?

[CAVALIER]

He's been long time rumoured to have an interest there. I believe an ex Vale employee known to him may still work there. He's also linked with Torquay according to some of their fans plus any other clubs struggling no doubt.

Maybe he knows someone there, like, I don’t know, maybe the commercial manager or something?

Delivered me an Evri parcel the other Saturday sexmans bit on the side did.

It wasn't mate!

They obviously can't be paying commercial directors as much in football as they do everywhere else.

The shark is circling. I read this week that Torquay National South are thinking of going part time as they’re reportedly losing £100k a month. I wonder if others will eventually follow. Also if others do, will in a decades time L1&L2 be forced into doing the same🤷‍♂️

Long time ago I worked with a Mac Town  players mum. Vale wanted to sign him but couldn’t match his Salary from his decent full time job and his part time wages at Mac. I can see salary levels having to decrease as the current levels are not sustainable and players opting to play part time and have a proper job

Didn’t one of the chasetown players we signed have to take a pay cut from being a graphic designer to play for us ?

I remember reading the same some years ago regarding a Paul Showler. He was a police officer in South Yorks and played for Barnett. They only met up for match days due to players travelling. Middlesbrough were interested in him but they needed to buy out his police salary and pension it was quoted to be £1m. This was based on how much he’d earn during his time if he completed 30 years in the police and then his pension. Boro didn’t buy him. 

About 10 years ago I was flying back to England and sat next to a lad on the plane who was playing for Buxton at the time and they were playing at Hednesfield the following day. Britain was frozen over and I told him the game would be cancelled. He told me he knew but if he didn’t fly back he’d be fined. He told me he was on £400 a week having started at Leeds United with Danny Rose.
