F.C. Halifax Town

Critical Thinking · **Joined:** Fri Jul 03, 2020 11:50 am **Posts:** 2309

There is an interesting article on the NON LEAGUE MATTERS site from David Bosomworth (lovely surname) who is the Chairman and Owner of F.C. Halifax Town.

This is about running a step one non league club and he says the average cost is £150,000 per month. He mentions Mani D. and says they couldn't afford to keep him and he was their highest ever paid player.

You can find the whole article by googling NON LEAGUE MATTERS and then click on Forum (top of page), then General Discussion, then "cost of running a step one non league club.

Sorry I can't do this but expect some clever member will be able to.

If that’s the case with Mani D…isn’t he the sort of player the critics would expect us to sign…..but when we do sign we’re told we’re spending on the cheap.
A bit of a contradiction there. :laugh:

That's the thing though, none of us know (or have the right to know) how much players are on.
One thing for certain, last season must have seen us with the most players we've ever had at the club since we dropped the reserves. So cost must have been a fair bit even if averagecwage wasn't so high, plus 3 management teams to pay.

The thing about Halifax they have done very well at replacing him and find players very well. Obviously big populations around them but that is what we need, better recruitment.

So let me get this right, there's a rumour that we might have financially outmuscled the mighty FC Halifax Town for one of our players? What a time to be alive!!!

‘Tinpot Halifax’ eh…..? I suppose if some other club in this league had bought him, he’d be held up as the sort of player we should be signing, a free scoring forward.
Cover blown.

With the goals he scored for them it’s quite obvious other clubs would be interested, it hurts some times.

Who are we expected to compete with then PSG? And with whose money?
Just as an aside he's sat on 11 goals, 1 less than the divs top scorer, and 4 or 5 better than recent multi million pound rated Will Grigg.
Mani D has been an inspired signing regardless of who he's played for so well done for coaxing him away from Halifax.

He has been a good signing.
How many players have we signed over the years from so called ‘Tin pot ‘ clubs who have come good.
Are we now down to denying reality to fit an agenda.

Yes and how many have been duds? I'm pleased he has worked but he was no less a gamble than many of the flops we've had. He wasn't signed as a result of Raj making it rain, you silly sausages.

We’re talking about one player, that’s all.
The so called ‘duds’ are not being discussed, just responding to a topic about Manni D, who, is not a ‘dud’.
All signings are a gamble, nothing’s guaranteed.
Who said anything about Raj or even implied he was involved….no one, because it never came into the discussion.
If we are going to start demolishing even the decent players by association, I despair.

Where a Player comes from, is to me irrelevant….. as long as they can produce the goods on the pitch. He fits that criteria.
I look down on no club or even the price paid.
If he’d signed for any other club in this league and scored that many goals so far there’d have been gnashing of teeth, wailing and the full range of expletives to ask why we don’t sign players like this.
I’m happy to accept your surrender on this point you scamp…. as this really was a hill to die on…and based on logic too :laugh:

Good job Leicester were happy looking in the bargain basement when they signed Jamie Vardy when they were in the Championship and he was playing in the Conference Premier. Think he was at the mighty Halifax before that too.
Yes we've had some duds, but both Mani's and Mancini look to be good uns (even though Askey isn't picking Mani O for some strange reason).
Think it's best to judge players or their individual performances rather than where they came from or how much they cost or earn.

at times the club or raj just cannot win. only this week a new loan signing has been dished because we signed him from a team lower than us in the league. if he had been signed from a league club then it would have been classed by some as a season changing signing. same last season with scottish players. they are not all poor only the ones we signed were.

its not just the populations its the amount of teams they can recruit from where players do not have to move because they live in a reasonable travelling distance from the shay. 40 miles radius of the shay you have all the east lancashire and yorkshire clubs to get players from. surely this is a better situation than pools are in.

its really a numbers game though and not about individual players especially lower down the leagues you go. i,m convinced now that with our present gates and finance available if pools were situated in or around the M25 we,d be a decent league club still.

You know exactly what i was getting at Kevin.
I hope as we all do we do not drop again, Having said that i also believe Raj may well be playing the trust.
I,m neither a Pro Raj nor do i support him, But i will always thank him for stepping in when HE did
Because sure as shit NO ONE CARED, Lets hope someone does this time around, Because when these coming
Weeks/Months pass he,s gone, And many including yourself will be pleased. As is your right to think that way.
Believe me when i say this, Because this is FACT, Going bust is the worst thing that can happen. Been there done that sadx

It will definitely be the worst case scenario, but some will smugly have the satisfaction of saying I told you so. A couple have already suggested we voluntarily take the nuclear option now rather than wait and hope for the best.

Talking of Chris Waddle didn't Newcastle sign him from Tow Law when he was working in a sausage factory?
Didn't Newcastle sign Alan Shoulder from Blyth, Peter Beardsley from Vancouver Whitecaps?

Its not a fact they cant win. The players they keep signing dont seem to be able to win, so when they string some results together and play out of their skins maybe then fans might start changing their opinions. Nobody is slating this new lad apart from a few york fans. But facts are facts he cant get into a team below us in the league. Thats not a good sign no matter how we look at it ir dress it up. He might come here and be just what we need as the midfield we have had recently aint of conference standard.

we do not really know how much our players are on do we or any player we actually know. its one subject thats never talked about. the only person who ever saw my wage slip was me apart from the bin man who would have had to piece the bits together. know for a fact that in their early national league days the had a system at halifax where half the squad were full time and the rest part time.

All about finding the right fit as well, 2 of the top scorers in the division ate Dinanga and Kabamba, both looked okish for us but not prolific.
Padraig Amond you'd expect to do well in this league but only got 3.

Are football clubs required to pay their full time staff the minimum wage or are they exempt from that law. The basic living wage is over a tenner per hour.

Well done he is a decent player but come on lets not go overboard on it. They were in the conference north got promoted and were part time in this league for few years. I highly doubt he was on big wages? Funny when liddle went to south shields and we said he was getting a pay rise the idea was ridiculed, but now the halifax chairman who is hated by halifax fans has come out to justify why mani left, were paying massive money for him it must be true. Next thing hastie be back on 5k a week. Were still waiting for these top strikers that scored loads of goals in league 2 to turn up that we were after, anyone seen any sign of them?

Who cares, what’s that got to do with anything..especially when Manni proved what he can do last season.
Looking down on Halifax is a bit rich, we were always portrayed by the media as useless for years and I saw Halifax as fellow travellers not to be treat with contempt. As for so called ‘facts’ ..what about the Grimm’s Tale’s about money…. this money and that money…if you want fairy tales that is, which you never verified once,
This is delusional snobbery on an epic scale Jeeeez.

Snobbery over a club thats not been in the league for 20 odd years who arent half the size of us now, but we quite happily look up to the harrogates crawleys accringtons morcambes with envy, while they chuckle at how bad we have become.

No, YOU might look up to those ‘new’ teams, not me, but then they’re there on merit….. but I don’t envy them either.
See you’ve revealed the guest list for your exclusive dinner party.Ah, the traing pays off. :laugh:

Thought he was quarter decent till he missed that open goal in 90th minute v Rochdale.
But he looks like Pele compared to big Josh.
Mental decision forcing him to stay.
Now hes in On Strike mode.
Ah well.

Don't accept Snowy, it won't cover the cost of the counselling you'd need after a night with them!

There is an interesting article on the NON LEAGUE MATTERS site from David Bosomworth (lovely surname) who is the Chairman and Owner of F.C. Halifax Town.

This is about running a step one non league club and he says the average cost is £150,000 per month. He mentions Mani D. and says they couldn't afford to keep him and he was their highest ever paid player.

You can find the whole article by googling NON LEAGUE MATTERS and then click on Forum (top of page), then General Discussion, then "cost of running a step one non league club.

Sorry I can't do this but expect some clever member will be able to.

If that’s the case with Mani D…isn’t he the sort of player the critics would expect us to sign…..but when we do sign we’re told we’re spending on the cheap.
A bit of a contradiction there. :laugh:

C,mon now Snowy.
When has fact been allowed to get in the way of an agenda.

It was tinpot afc Halifax who cudent afford to keep him not Man City.
Ya sharp forget the amount of decent players who moved sideways for better wages.
Your so gullible and seem well happy with how embarrassingly shit we are.
Eh. banghead

Is this the halifax town reformed and were part time until recently? How do we know all their players arent on 200 quid a week? Wheres the facts behind it?

I personally know players in the Northern League who were on more than more than £200 over 10 years ago.
