You suggested we, a National League club, may consider paying £10K per week to a player who hasn't played in over a year on the off chance it might contribute towards promotion.
Where exactly was this money coming from? The owners are currently spending millions fixing the pitch, not to mention what they have already allowed the manager to spend in building his squad. They will have also spent a considerable sum to Accrington to allow us to play there, in addition to the day to day outlay running the club.
If Dawson hadn't played for us before, this thread wouldn't exist.
It was switched because Marine's ground wasn't suitable according to the local police and rather than move the game to Spotland, Kenny Dalglish allegedly arranged for the tie to be played at Anfield as Marine's manager, Roly Howard, who sadly passed away last month, was his window cleaner!
For starters, Burton are in League One. Yes, they're struggling, but there's still more than a whole division between them and Boreham Wood.
Also, BHW had comfortably dispatched two struggling League Two teams in Crawley and Newport to get to the third round.
Bromley, promoted from the NL 18 months ago, are currently top of League Two. Chesterfield, who went up with them, are in the play-off places.
Barnet, last season's NL champions, are in the top half of League Two and while Oldham are in the bottom half, they are 14 points clear of the relegation places.
It seems to me that if a promoted club can maintain the momentum that took them up, they are likely to bridge any perceived gap without much ado and subsequently perform better than the more established EFL clubs who have been treading water in the lower reaches of League Two for a number of years, such as the current bottom two.
