When we're getting outbid by Fev it's a poor do.


To be fair Fev are probably the highest spenders in the league after Toulouse. Also we don't know what they've offered.

Like others have said, I like Pickersgill and would prefer to keep him, but he has a limit on what he's worth with his weaknesses. If Fev have offered silly money then it's right we've walked away or not tried and match it, particularly with us not knowing the central funding for next year.

As erstwhile Poachers of the cloth cutting world I am truly flummoxed at the size and quality of the Fev squad in this division. Do they have a minted backer?

I know they’ve exceed their target of 200 squad booster members and are heading towards 500 and with minimum payment of £10 pm per person this brings in a considerable amount

Mark Campbell has put a lot of his own cash into Fev over the years, but the key in recent years has been improved income streams. Big sponsorship, Squad Builder, improved retail store, regular use of the clubhouse for functions (Covid permitting) etc. The club owns the ground and plenty of land around it, and instead of paying rent is actually making money from the ground and its facilities.

I think he's a decent player at Championship level but I wouldn't see him stepping up to SL

And Fev have certainly got ambitions in that direction. Seems a bit of strange signing to be honest

I don’t think he’s full time at the moment. So he’s a decent quality Championship player on P/T training. He’s deffo got more improvement in him if he was training F/T, just difficult to predict how much.

Our problem with our better academy products is they will want their best chance to get as good as they can, which generally needs a full time environment.
