The Mark Wright signing still completely baffles me, especially at a time when fans weren't allowed in the ground
From what I've read on here, it sounds like a 'pay per play' type of contract, so no real loss if it didn't work out. In view of him showing in earlier years that he could sometimes play a reasonable game, it looks to me as if it was a low/no-risk punt. It could have worked well, but it didn't. No harm done.

Maybe Paul, but who paid who. Did Mark Wright pay Crawley to play. He was at the time working on a television documentary. He was also in employment with his radio show making it difficult to play in away games. He could not have been fully committed to playing for CTFC. His other business interests got in the way. This must have had a negative influence on squad morale.

If I pay the club a fiver to play for them, it would be reduced admission fee. I shouldn't think they'd want an unfit, overweight guy in his 60s though.
ANG doesn't seem to have featured this season, maybe injured.
ANG isn't currently listed as either a 1st team or U23 player on the Southend website, there's an online report from the Basildon, Canvey & Southend Echo dated 21st July saying that he's had "an operation behind his knee" and "It's a little bit more complicated than we thought"
