Brackley's record transfer fee paid in a 127 years as a club is £0 I believe....Promotion should be the minimum expectation for us after the £75k Dan Bradley signing.
Ridiculous how we have ended up with no pot to piss in 2 years ago with Hockaday leading the headless chickens, to now being able to dish out fees of that magnitude. It's an excellent signing, and if we can't go up with a midfield of Croasdale/Elton/McQuilkin/Bradley I don't know if we ever will. You throw in Daly, Vaughan and Ironside as the other big names and there is serious money being thrown at it this year.
Gordon is a self-made millionaire, but he's been drumming down our ears about the club being self-sustainable. Whether his University/College link has erupted, then I struggle to see how it is the case.
We're too small for this league, but enjoying it whilst it lasts. Good win vs FCUM on Saturday - dominated the game, but we won't score enough to maintain a challenge inside the top 4 or 5 I fear.
In no other country in the world surely would a sixth tier league have top earners allegedly on £1000 a week and £75K transfer fees being paid out
