    Didn’t Brown use the money the club had accrued over the FAC semi final run and subsequent fee player sales, ie Davis, Holland, Dyche, Mercer and Williams to pay NL?
    A shady practice indeed.

    Edit. From David Conn’s report of the sentencing of Brown in 2005.
    Lea sold the club for £1.2M to be paid in instalments. Brown paid the first £384k effectively from CFC coffers, but no more. Money was spent bringing in players such as Pollitt, Beckett and Reeves, with £399k going to Brown’s company which also owned Sheffield Sharks and Sheffield Steelers. He pleaded guilty to having taken £800k, including some of the above, out of CFC for his own purposes

    CFC was found to be £2M in debt when CFSS eventually bought the shares.

    The deal to sell to Brown smacked of Lea’s way of going about his business. And he suffered as a consequence. As did we fans of course.

    Norton Lee was no idiot. He knowingly sold it to a conman, so he could come back riding a white horse, a couple of years later, buy back the club and be proclaimed as a hero. Something he tried, but failed, thanks to CFFS.

    In which case he was an idiot, because he never got paid did he?

    You know what you’re right - I agree with you there son

    It perhaps hurt Barnet though. And of course both Bromley and Solihull can’t both be promoted.

    Anybody know which is the best website to get listings of released players?

    Of course EFL clubs have some way to go before their season finishes.
    It does seem the EFL publish a list of retained and released players sometime in May or early June once clubs have completed their fixtures.
    See last year
