Just heard the BBC Radio 5 interview with the crawley chief executive before the derby cup match.

He talks a good clean game.  Solid. Spend what we have got.  Don't rely on cup runs. Living within our means.  Like i say, he talked a good clean game.

And then...

Uber-T**t Steve Claridge chipped in with comments about Steve Evans having experience at the level with Boston United.  Any mention of his corrupt practices?  No.  All airbrushed out of history. All seemingly smells of roses at Crawley.

Clean at Crawley?  With Evans there the foul stench is all-pervading.

Its easy to 'spend what you have got" / 'live within means"when you have an endless pit of money ? I doubt if 'Live within means' means self sufficient ? Doubt the crowds would pay for 25% of the weekly wage ?

Also enjoyed this from www.altrinchamfc.com :
Evans said, 'We're seen as wealthy, but there are players where Bruce and Susan have said the deal was too rich. Some clubs talk as if they've hardly got a budget, but we're playing catch-up against Wrexham, Cambridge, Wimbledon. Last season we took cars to away games to save money. Some opponents arrived in a fancy Premier League-level coach. Every fifty pence gets explained here'.

That'll be 'part time' Altrincham then arriving in style

aha ... Good point. Forgot about that  ;D ;D ;D

Football League in two seasons maximum, out of existance in 4... Enjoy while it lasts Crawley folk, looking forward to the "Does the town not want a football league club"  ;D ;D

Only good thing is that them going up will keep a well supported club down so more money for us when they visit Moss Lane :)

Dont you just love it when "Fat Jock" Evans trys to be all fkn righteous..  He is on a fkn par with the likes of Jeffrey Archer and Jonathon Aitken. All 3 of them are lying deceitful, despicable Oxygen Thieves... I cannot fkn  abide them.

no it shows that if u spend big building a squad of players made up of players who should be in the football league but haven taken a drop down to our level when the £££ signs flashed up in there eyes that you can win a one off match.   

Torres came from wycombe because he really wanted to play in the non league ...

The fact of the matter is, crawley should have been closed down, they have no history and have bought their way to a chance of winning this league, you don't get anywhere without money in this sport nowadays, it's a shame, on paper were the biggest team in the non league because of our proud history, and thats the way it should be, you can't buy history. Graham Westly got it spot on after tonights game, there shouldn't  be any difference in fitness because they are all professionals train everyday and most of their players have played in the top leagues, our league is a professional league, ex top tier sides like oxford have struggled in our league and the ex league sides such as mansfield, wrexham, york, luton will be with us for years.  £275,000 on 1 player that is more then we spend on absolutely everything over the season (wages for players and staff travel absolutely everything) To be fair to their chairman he is a local lad who loves the club, he saved them, Goodwin did all he could for us, we simply need a rich investor from alrtincham, hale surrounding area who loves football if we want to be battling these big boys. But fellas what im basically saying is don't be jealous of this silly little club, they may get promoted they may even be in league 1 within 5 seasons but I tell you what the likes of Lawton, Coburn, Denham play for the Alty FC badge. The likes of Torres, Neilson, Brodie plays for ££££££££££££££££.

I was quite impressed with Bruce Winfield's interview after the game....he came across very well, but the commentator's soundbite of the night for me was that "Crawley have paid more in transfer fees since the summer than all of the clubs in League 1 combined"!!

Staggering!
