I’ve read the accounts of the meeting on the Chester fans forum. Seems like some bad decisions made in terms of spending all the funds gained from the transfer of their best player, Sam Hughes, player contracts and the new manager allowed to bring more players in without releasing others. The main criticism seems to be that the financial black hole should have been evident months ago, but the Trust running the club have only made it known at this late stage.
One thing which concerns me is the Alabi tribunal. We offered £10k, Chester’s valuation £40-45k and they’ve budgeted for getting £25k at Tribunal. Seems quite a lot for a player who rightly or wrongly is nowhere near the first team. Given we have our own financial issues following on from Wirral Live, could having to find that kind of sum have a knock-on effect for Rovers in terms of having to sell a player or freeze on anyone else coming in?
