I saw that Cullen has also said signing Carter is unlikely. Guess Deep wouldn't want him in the trenches with him either. That's a paradox.

Saying you've decided to wait and be patient when it's been well documented that every candidate made an offer turned us down. God this is depressing to see play out.

The strategy of being the leagues 'hardest working club' does not really work as an ethos when the salaries dont also reflect this. Brick by brick though.

Does anyone know where FGR are located as never heard of them until last season?

Div 2 looks about their level & the owner needs to come to terms with that!

Apparently there is a football league rule in place that states clubs have to contact other clubs and get their permission when they want to speak with contracted employees of said other club. Well it looks like we didn’t do that so I wonder what punishment we will receive if any for poaching this bloke? Apparently Watford did the same thing with their manager so it’s been a bit of a shit week at Forest Green Rovers. 

Anyway what I would like to know is who is in favour of scrapping this ask the club for permission first rule? I’ll go on the record and say I think it should stand when the season is in progress but in the off season the rule shouldn’t apply and staff including managers and players should be able to try and find new work or secure a better deal for themselves at their current club if they can. So yeah again, what do you think?

If you're on a fixed term contract that you signed then no approach for your services should be allowed. If you are on a contract that allows you to leave with a set notice period then yes to an approach.
