It's been forced in us, but I'm guessing the rest of league is watching very closely - if we can avoid signing anyone before January, and can enforce a wage cut, then every other club will be able to say to their players 'look what Bohs had to do and they're champions" - which is why, on solidarity grounds, our players are right to resist.
If it was any other group of employers, one might suspect the first prong of a coordinated strategy, but this is LoI clubs....
Must be disappointing for Bohs fans that players unwilling to take any cut to help the club. Do they really think they will do better elsewhere? Lets face it not that many LOI players would get more money abroad.
Yes indeed. Coordinated LoI strategies don't seem to really get any more sofisticated than those of the underpants gnomes.Quote:

I reckon that quite a few LOI players will be heading for non-league and lower reaches of Championship football in England in January where at least they will be guaranteed a wage every week.
