I was going to start a thread last night after reading this story about James Marwood leaving St.Mirren a few days ago, but never quite got around to it. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30936993If the name sounds familiar it's because he is Brian Marwood's son, and helped fire Gateshead to the play-offf final last season. Too late now anyway, as FGR have signed him - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30959003Sounds like an interesting signing, although 15 games without scoring in Scotland suggests he's hardly in the same form as last season! Do FGR ever know when to stop buying people? I had noticed that they signed Stuart Fleetwood from Eastleigh, but hadn't noticed they also signed Charlie Clough and Corby Moore in this window. If they or Eastleigh do succeed in their vain quest to buy into Lge 2 I will be rather disappointed. |

They'll go bust in a couple of years, those kind of wages aren't sustainable

If he keeps on ploughing money into them or leaves them solvent when gets bored then they are in no worse, possibly a lot better, financial shape than us? |

I would have thought the bigger issue would be financial fair play, although as I know little about it at our level, I should probably zip it  Personally I just hate the idea that success can be bought. Clearly it can't be all the time anyway... |

There are no rules as such with FFP in the conference. But if you fall foul when getting in to debt they will relegate you at the drop of a .........

Well it must cheer you up then that we somehow buy failure, with NH/TW openly admitting they budget on getting 2,000 more fans on average than actually turn up! |

The finances of football clubs are more mysterious than what happens in the Haddron Collider. At least half a dozen people understand that.
