Regarding paying players - it’s a constant theme on here.

If your club is in a financially sustainable position to offer decent money to players playing 3rd tier competition, good on you/them for being in that position. Go nuts, put together a good team and shoot for promotion if that suits your club’s ambitions.

If you spend big, come up short and struggle financially in years to come, then the spending becomes irresponsible, and I don’t think they’ll find much sympathy in the community. Probably be met with much amusement.


Same thing in NPL, NL1 etc.
