This should be a wake up call to those who are keeping Sisu here by purchasing tickets.
In the light of the hedge fund's aversion to spending money on buying players, and in the light of them not being prepared to offer more than the National Minimum Wage, ticket buyers should ask themselves where their money is going to.
Enlightened Sky Blue fans of the NOPM variety already know the answer to that one!
Did you hear that sisu ? its not always about the money .That is how ordinary people make important decisions, On the other hand in your world SISU its all about the money and nothing to do with the city the club or its people .That is the reason your crooked hedgefund will never be accepted by true sky blues.
So we couldn't compete with the wages of a non league team. Well done SISU.
Wise decision NOPM

Didn't take long did it.
The problem is that it is true
Why is it a non story? I think it's quite interesting that a player like that is better off part time. Whilst at the same time I understand it from our point of view. I wouldn't want us chucking good money at a player that is a risk. It's a shame for the guy that the finances are what they are. Fair play to him for making the choice he did too.
Staggering that people can't grasp that it wasn't a case of us offering less than non-league wages.
It was basically non-league wages + day job wages vs Our offer - the cost of moving his family - his day job wages. He could quite realistically have been bringing in 50k a year from his day job and non league wages. So to beat that and offset the cost of moving his family do we need to offer him 60k? Do we make a 28-year-old non-league player one of our top earners? Do that and the NOPM lot would be screaming that they'd never heard of him and this is the only type of player we can attract now and that we could have used this money to bring back Saint Carl Baker.
Exactly. And why would he give up his own successful guttering business (he has his own van) and semi-pro wages to come here?Dave Tarpey isn't a footballer name anyway, Dave Tarpey is a guy your old man knows who'll give you mates rates on your guttering

I hear that a lot of his guttering work is cash in hand as well. We never stood a chance.Dave Tarpey isn't a footballer name anyway, Dave Tarpey is a guy your old man knows who'll give you mates rates on your guttering

He wouldn't leave because apparently SISU only offered him three Curly Wurlys and a packet of Love Hearts a week and they insisted on a relegation wage cut clause in his contract. NOPM SHFWF.Yep, and it'd be a 2 year contract with absolutely no guarantees at the end of it. He's never going to earn from football the money that higher level players do, so why would he leave an established job?

#DT9 I heard, to get down with the kids.

Career launched.
Have to factor in his age as well. If you had that sort of option at 21 you'd probably go for it. At 28 you're a lot nearer to the end of your career. Are you going to make enough in the next 5 years to make it worthwhile.With a mortgage to pay and family to support, do you quit a steady job to earn potentially less on the chance you will get spotted and go up to the Championship and big money?
That's the thing, we offer him big money then what will Doyle and Andreu type players expect?The way the NOPM-ers are going on you would think we've missed out on a guaranteed L2 20 goal a season striker. This guy is totally unproven at this level, so why should we offer him top money?
Mindlessly demanding that we offer more money for a player that I very much doubt any of them have even seen play.That's the thing, we offer him big money then what will Doyle and Andreu type players expect?
How do we attract experienced proven players if we have made Biamou our best paid player for example.
You also have to ask, why has nobody else local signed him as yet?

Oh, and also crying that we need to have a wage restriction to comply with FFP while proudly saying NOPM. Christ...
