I was at salisbury yesterday ... not quite the whole story has been relayed.
Salisbury have had a quite meteoric rise through the divisions over the last 7 or so seasons and are in fact a victim of their own success ,,, higher leagues mean higher quality facilities etc are demanded by FA ,,, Health and safety Nazis etc.... so their costs in 7 years have grown from about £100,000pa to £1M pa ... they have already got in place budget for £900,000 this year but need £100,000 to break even ... so the need for £100,000 .... Its not a case of going into administration .... its a case of the club asking the fans to help keep the club going at a level which they are still doing well at ... 6th place so far this season despite a bad last 3 matches..... the directors have been putting their hands deep in their wallets but they. dont want to destroy a good squad. As for spending above their means, this is wrong, they did get a couple of players from Luton but on frees and loans, and then their wages were poor compared with Luton ...but Luton were bust and were not paying them anyway .. better some money than none. Most of Salisbury squad are long term Salisbury players.. the exspense is not the playing staff, its the other associated costs of being promoted several times.
