Well by all accounts Lowe & Chalmers are flying over from NZ this weekend.

Goy me thinking its a bloody long way to come and a lot to give up just to run a part-time team.

Only one poster but with only £150k central funding, a large chunk of ST money already spent, its going to need some deep pockets to fund FT.

I don't disagree with you. But are we on the guessing game again. No one knows the plan going forward.

Just wondering what charmers and Lowe have been doing that they can move half way round the world at a days notice? Surely there must be an English based element to this already here....will be an interesting few days.

It's just a guess, isn't it. Albeit a 'guess' based on some reasonable assumptions. As has been said, with just £150K of funding, and everything from ST and sponsorship gone down a Green-shaped hole, there will need to be a considerable amount of money spent just to pay for a part-time team, let alone a full time squad.

Ironically, it will probably be harder to put together a competitive part-time squad, than a full-time squad, at this point in time. Where on earth would anyone be able to find decent quality part-time Championship players that are not already signed up to our rivals? Whereas there are 20+ players hanging around Tong Street Costa who presumably want someone to offer them a full-time deal. Add in a few loans and a few people who might become available, and it wouldn't be that hard to build some sort of squad - albeit they'd need about £700K-£800K to do it.

I just hope Chalmers isn't working on the idea that he can offer all of our full-time players a shiny new part-time contract. I'd assume that anyone worth having would be off in a flash, leaving us with the people that no one else wants.

I doubt he will be offering over the odds for player or coach contracts.

Do we think the Dr at Salford has anything to do with it?
