andyetfc Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 How about spending some of the money on income generating schemes or even reducing the club's debts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wembleyfinals Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Point taken Andy but, one would expect that that when considering the annual budget requirements, contingencies for debt reduction is part of that consideration. This being a normal prudent business requirement and part of any Co./club business plan. Unfortunately not having seen any formal Club accounts one can only speculate. But that said it is not unusual for part of any surplus of revenue over and above the norm be considered usable for expansion, especially when no dividends are ever to be payed. In our case squad improvement. That is unless one is content to stagnate. Edited June 20, 2018 by 4wembleyfinals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyetfc Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 There comes a time when a club needs to show improvement off the field as well. MbrunoB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wembleyfinals Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Again I agree with you Andy but would suggest that is where management have to balance their priorities. Not knowing what the net revenue result of any additional revenue was, if any, it is purely conjecture has to how it could be spent. But I sincerely hope that the club did indeed receive some additional income. Every little helps!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crowing Cockerel Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 looks like we will be waiting a bit longer and our star man who may have signed ...................... don't look like he did Looks like the name I heard finally announced his departure from his former club today. Not sure he's named a new club yet though. Still, I'll be surprised if he ends up at ETFC next season rather than a Con South side. Lets see...

Well I now know who it could be and he's been banging in the goals for fun in the last five seasons with his previous club. But then again, it may not be.

The Crowing Cockerel Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Social media alive with rumours that he has joined-up and will be alongside a long-time friend and team-mate (at 3 of his former clubs) who is already with us. All very interesting. Given that twitter suggests its a secret, I shall say no more! Edited June 22, 2018 by The Crowing Cockerel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4wembleyfinals Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) I would love a rejuvenated Noel Ashford but even at his current age I doubt if we could afford him. There are not many players who have helped 3 clubs to the top of the conference in as many years. Enfield FC ( Out voted from going into the Football League by the northern old boys club and a deal made by the Conference League), Barnet FC ( 1st Auotomatic Promotion to League) and Maidstone FC (Also auto: promotion to the League). But all that is water under the bridge. Mind you we are all going to feel silly if nothing happens to morrow or if it's another import from Chesham. But it all adds spice to the start to the new season. For what it's worth my guess is someone beginning with "S" although "B" sounds a good front runner based on Crowing C's clue. Leaving only 24 letters left!!! Edited June 23, 2018 by 4wembleyfinals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
