Mansfield are paying well over the odds for players (especially when you pair it with MacAnthony's comments and other chairman backing him up) - but....it's also perfect ammunition this time of year for managers/chairmen to peddle the 'other clubs are spending silly money' line. Curle's one of the best at playing that card despite seemingly being well-backed at Notts and Carlisle, he's always insinuating he's fighting some sort of tide financially.
Speaking of Mansfield, we've nicked their commentator THUS establishing ourselves as the bigger club. A real show of intent. Welcome Charlie Slater. Hard work starts now. #NotMuchMatchesMansfield
That was Greg Abbotts speciality.
When we were at the top end of league 1 Gregory said something along the lines of "rich clubs at the top table at this level come in for the best players, then the next clubs get what the rich clubs don't want, then the likes of Accrington, Carlisle, Southport and Morecambe are left with the scraps that no one else wants.
