sportsman10 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 The problem is all the decent players have gone or stepped up with clubs in higher leagues so really the money floating around the Cornish league should be getting less not more as the standard is worse It’ll would imagine most of top earning players were Plymouth based over the years .

All that will happen is that players will start expecting some sort of finance for signing as they will see it as a standard, I would say 70% of clubs struggle year after year to finance the player budgets along with all the other associated costs, there has to be a degree of common sense, and if Helston manage to win the league which they should after chucking ridiculous money at it we all know it’s because they had the most money! This isn’t premier league this is grass roots non league football that’s losing control.

The idiots who persist with this tactic will ruin Cornish football, what’s happened clubs will go under great work guys The money you claim being bounded about has arisen from rumour and Chinese whispers - not once have I seen clear proof of any figures so perhaps a little perspective is required. With regards to "those idiots" who wish to spend the money, perhaps the Chairpersons and committees who are in charge of these clubs should be questioned - after all, these are the people who allow their clubs to benefit from it albeit sometimes fleetingly. Maybe when the pound signs flash in front of their eyes, it is they who should think long term. Are you really asking us to believe that there is not a club in Cornwall who would not accept financial input for their day in the sun??? But back to Helston - knowing the Chairman very well, please be assured that if Mr Massey left tomorrow, the club will still be sustainable. Mr Massey has been a businessman for many years I believe, so he cannot be that naïve either but as been said on this forum, it is his money - so who cares.
