    Anyone know what Nixon story we’re in? I’m assuming it’s O’Brien?

    It is. Wrexham agreed £5 million fee with Forest but can’t agree terms with the player.

    You see, this is the real problem. £5m for O’Brien. Not that I’d be against signing him but that is an absolutely insane amount of money.

    Speaking of wrexham
    Theyve flown out to australia for a pre season tour and seems each games a sellout

    As a fan of neither us or wrexham
    As a player you choose them everyday right?
    The extra opportunities are pretty amazing

    It’s highly unlikely Wrexham are going to repeat the back to back promotions.
    First off, they still have Phil Parkinson as their Manager. Next, it’s likely that they are going to have to replace most of their team including the likes of Longman if they have promotion ambitions.

    Makes you wonder why O’Brien turned them down.

    Do you know who the local businesses are that deal direct with the club? If the rumours are cleaning and catering then surely that's the SMC

    Correct. And you would think a top journo like Baz would understand the need to clarify this instead of fanning the flames of the daft lads who click the articles and think we are skint and going bust.

    I'd be amazed if someone as successful as Acun hasn't twigged that the SMC is your golden egg for offsetting loads of costs in your books to make you look more profitable. There are tinpot rugby league super league clubs doing it to tick boxes, surely we are smashing every match day expense through the SMC and paying a small fee each game to play there as a club.

    I haven’t the slightest idea and neither has anyone else from what I’ve seen.

    It’s Club actions that have resulted in a fee restriction, not the actions of a stadium management company.

    The terms under which the SMC operate are determined by the lease, there’ll be a little bit of leeway, but they can’t fiddle the numbers when two separate companies are subject to the terms of that lease.

    I figured that's why it is in such massive debt. Previous owners using it to offset the maximum amount of costs.
