Burnham to pay for promotion push?

[Silencer]

I hear that there is a few quid over at Burnham this season (as usual) and that Keith Wilson has signed several first teamers from last season's Wakering side.

 

Guess they could be the challengers with other spenders Enfield and Witham

There is no money at Burnham.Actually Is it true S.Manor have increased their budget for next year and Bob is stepping down with some big investors ready to step in?

Sureley Silencer wouldn't be playing mind games over money again to take pressure off Manor and put it on Enfield FC and Witham...... i heard Southend Manor got a budget next season too, sounds like favorites Southend Manor to me.

 

Manor top earners next season i hear.

[Sorry]

I can confirm that there is no money at Burnham - I wish there was then I could repay the loyalty that my players have shown me

 

I can also confirm I have had a verbal agreement that one former GWR player is going to sign for us - but as you know Silencer until we go back for preseason and actually have a registration form - NO player has signed for any club

[Talk_Is_Cheap]

Be a nice addition if he signs as well Sorry - He's not a bad little left back

Can't believe the cover has been blown on Manor's wage structure.....

 

Bob Westley has armed the Gaffer with a weekly budget in a bid to achieve promotion. The groundshare with Gt Wakering has already been agreed in principal with the FA and both clubs pending Manor's inevitable promotion. Saying this though, the budget is nowhere near what some clubs receive. I think it is £60 a win per player, £30 appearance fee and as many cans of Lucozade as a player desires. The main pulling point is sausage and chips in the bar after match-days and training sessions.

 

Burnham = no wages - there's a first!!! I expect them to fair better next season with or without wages, decent side over there. Grant is decent too.

 

Also, with regards to Manor being Dark horses...I think you will find that last season we lost more league games than the previous four/five campaigns!!!

 

Witham and Enfield contending the title for me all day long....then the likes of Barking, Eton Manor, Burnham, B'side, S Manor, Bowers, BGU, Takeley aiming for top 6 berths.

 

Dark horses for me = Barking

[Sorry]

TIC - agreed he is a decent left back. Must be good he took my place at Wakering all those years ago!!! Also means I won't have to play this year

 

Silencer - thanks for your comments. At least this season we will be starting with a settled side unlike last.

 

But as we all know consistency wins the league and that is something we have to improve on

[smallsy]

Silencer, you are a little behind the times. Burnham have not had a playing budget for over 3 seasons now. As Willow says it is just a case of loyal players and the manager creating the right environment. Unless you are at Witham or Enfield any money players get is fairly irrelevant and covers your petrol at best. Most players these days prefer to play where they enjoy it.

[benterman]

i agree with rob , in fact there is more money in olympian and border leagues then there is in essex senior , it all depends on the players desire to play @ a higher level

[Sorry]

I think the days of Burnham paying silly money are long gone - hence why the club is trying to insert a structure that has a steady stream of younger players that play for the club & WANT to play for the club from an early age. I consider myself lucky that I now have a group of lads that appreciate the facilities and what we are trying to acheive and most importantly as others have said on here want to enjoy their football. Thing is you only enjoy your football if you are winning so that is where the manager comes in.

 

I for one am looking forward to this season and expect it to be a close run battle with a number of clubs pushing for that promotion spot.

Another new face at training for the first time last night Sorry - Question is, can you get him to put pen to paper....!!!

[Sorry]

Had more than one new face there last TIC - question is do I want them all to sign ???

 

 

[Talk_Is_Cheap]

judging by the amount you phone him I would imagine so ...!!!! Mind you, you need to get in quick he's almost a vet..!!

 

 

[Sorry]

Nearly a veteran - he has always been fit and hopefully he will sign as he is one of the players I have actually gone out to get and I think he will fit in well and enjoy it

 

The other two have signed already !!!!

 

One thing TIC if he is going to sign can you let me know LOL

 

 

[Talk_Is_Cheap]

I agree......if the ball's on the deck (Like its meant to be) he is a great player to have....the pitch at Burnham will help with that as well..!!

 

LOL....you will be the first to know mate....but will cost you a Burnham Burger...!!

[Sorry]

Ball on the deck only way to play

 

As for Burnham burger I have had a word with Paul and there is one with your name on it and we will throw in some chips if he signs before the weekend :smilewinkgrin:
