๐ฒ What Happened To... Darlington? Ep.1
🕑 Added 2024-07-29 10:00:13 +0000 UTCIn a week of Podcasts looking at five clubs who fell on hard times, Clayton and James kick off by discussing Darlington. A club in the North-East who under the chairmanship of George Reynolds had sights set high to reach the Premier League.
With former Newcastle stars targeted and a brand new stadium built, what could possibly go wrong?
...A tale of what can happen if you push too hard to be something you're not ready to be and what's happened to the club since

I know we were paying Nick Powell 13/14k a week in league one a few years ago and he was one of the highest earners in the league at the time so surely league 2 (until recently with Paul Mullin at Wrexham etc) wouldโve been considerably less especially 20 years ago

The Asprilla story and his Darlington salary is insane. The average League two salary now is about ยฃ85,000! Wow!
