Re: Smith and Toman

I think it's been mentioned as in "interviewed and not told anything either way" and not in a "are first choice" way. I hope so anyway!

Re: Another one says no?

To think people will believe McGurk had the chance to be plucked from obscurity to a top job in a league like we are in and turned it down because of anything on our side is silly. He obviously had other reasons. We are obviously telling everybody (other than Wright) that they are first choice, to g...

Re: Chris Hardy - get him in now!

Going back to Hardy, is anybody not slightly put off by the fact he hasn't attempted to come for an interview? All it takes is an above board question to his employers "I really want to give the opportunity some thought and I'd like to see what they have to offer, let me send my CV in?" Surely he is...

Re: York city supporters trust express concern

Looking at the JM Packaging Group accounts, they are owed £4,750,000 by York City FC (£4,000,000 a year earlier). The JM accounts state that the sale of Bootham Crescent, following their successful residential planning application, should cover this debt. However, the ongoing losses means that JM a...

Re: York City Transfer Targets

They are paying 2k a week to certain players by all accounts and if you have nothing yet on in terms of a career, why would you turn 2 years full time on more money than stagnating training twice a week at darlo?

Re: York City Transfer Targets

As a fan of Beck, and being hugely grateful for all his (in the end meaningless) goals for us last season. I'd be quite content if he went for a decent sum, Fergie less so because I feel he is just that much better but ultimately I'd quite like us to become a club that bloods youngsters and moves th...

Re: Compensation from Gray breaking contract?

Gray hardly comes across well in interviews and frequently mispronounces things, he's not a motivational speaker.

Re: The future of the club

The dynamics of the FL have changed in regards to finance. You need far more per season now than you did when we were last there (although it was changing then also) and we can say it as many times as we want, but we definitely are not (financially) a FL Club. I'd take competing at this level with t...

Re: So, where do we go from here

As South Shields showed, we cannot carry players who will not graft 100% and with Gillies, Syers, Caton and an immobile Beck it makes us completely toothless when we don't have the ball.

Agree with all that had been said here. He has scored a few this season but when he's not on the ball he is a complete passenger. My take on our issues at the moment is him, Syers and Caton are too attack minded and that has put so much pressure on Turnball and the full backs who never have any outl...

So, we've decided to put pressure on this pitch just before 3 games in one week, potentially costing £42 by the middle of the month (for 3 adults tickets - far more if you are a family). Forgive my cynicism but I feel when we don't make it, the club can feel far more justified letting whoever they f...
