Title: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, March 23, 2012, 08:51:33 Did anybody hear Nick Watkins' interview on Wiltshire Radio this morning. Paid tribute to Sir Martin and Andrew Black on their involvement with the financial side of the squad. As regards the 55% wages limit in this division , if one of the two agree to pay the wages of say Lee Holmes and John Bostock does this mean that they are not included in the 55% of turnover?
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, March 23, 2012, 08:54:56 No it doesn't but they can agree to sponsor the club with the amount of their wages, a one off sponsorship deal which is then legal because thats how Notts County got around the wage cap.

[Nev]Arbib, it's Arbib!![/Nev] Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: kaufman on Friday, March 23, 2012, 10:00:47 When did this interview go out?
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Batch on Friday, March 23, 2012, 11:20:24 This morning, though when it was recorded who knows.
And yes I'd imagine if they make themselves known at Wembley they would have 29,000 offers to buy them a pint. I think we are all aware and in gratitude of their commitment to the club. The reason they don't get talked about is that they are quietly going about things in the background rather than at the coal face. Out of sight but not out of mind. So thank-you Sir Martin and Mr B. I'll try and give back by opening a betfair account and losing some money.

I'll try and give back by opening a betfair account and losing some money. Of course they'll read your comments because one of them is fatbasher and the other is jutty on here.

Fatbasher you say....One of our boardroom team did go to WeightWatchers. It all makes sense ;) Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: jutty274 on Friday, March 23, 2012, 13:21:33 Of course they'll read your comments because one of them is fatbasher and the other is jutty on here. I will deny it, it is not me. I did have the same hair style as Sir Martin before i got it cut but that is as far as the likeness goes. ( but i wouldn't mind 100th of what he is worth. )Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: fatbasher on Friday, March 23, 2012, 15:00:18 One is neither fat, a basher, a director of STFC or a founder of an online betting company. :)

Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, March 23, 2012, 16:57:01 This morning, though when it was recorded who knows. Sir Martin will not be there apparently - perhaps he has just had to fork out for his season ticket and cannot afford it now!!And yes I'd imagine if they make themselves known at Wembley they would have 29,000 offers to buy them a pint.

Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Mark Hanrahan on Saturday, March 24, 2012, 07:39:06 The great thing about our board is the lack or ego. The actions do the talking. They have truly stepped up again this year. Indeed, for my money they have gone above and beyond to get us out of this division.
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Benzel on Saturday, March 24, 2012, 09:32:49 These guys have got to be worth a banner for the last home game?
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Phil_S on Saturday, March 24, 2012, 09:38:11 All of them actually. And I would include Andrew Fitton in that.
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, March 24, 2012, 10:30:32 All of them actually. And I would include Andrew Fitton in that. Yes, don't forget Andrew Fitton as he had the drive and foresight to put the consortium together.Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, March 24, 2012, 10:31:44 All of them actually. And I would include Andrew Fitton in that. Spot on.Wasnt the best chairman in the world but his input helped make it all happen. Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Shaw Rosso on Saturday, March 24, 2012, 22:57:12 These guys have got to be worth a banner for the last home game? could this be done?

Arbib, Black, Fitton and Wray have largely been nothing short of sensational since their arrival. Andrew Fitton's attempt at doing things 'his way' as Chairman was a fuck up, but I don't think anyone holds that against him now. Wray has been backed all the way by the board in his rookie year, and brilliantly came up trumps by appointing Di Canio, and then supervised the re-build and aggressive assault to get us out of L2 at the first attempt. I'm 100% behind any planned TEF tribute to the current board, and I'll willingly stick a wedge of cash into a fund for a banner or whatever is deemed appropriate. I'll see you cunts at Wembley later on :) Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: bullethead on Sunday, March 25, 2012, 05:47:11 Count me in for a contribution to any banner.
God, I'm awake way too early, can't sleep with all the excitement, like a kid on xmas morning! Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: jutty274 on Sunday, March 25, 2012, 05:50:39 Count me in for a banner. I even know someone who can do it for us.
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Loobug on Sunday, March 25, 2012, 07:49:35 Better than Xmas morning... I only look forward to a lie in, on Xmas morning, no danger of that today!
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Benzel on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 17:35:10 Count me in for a banner. I even know someone who can do it for us. I'm happy to chip in. Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: WR5 on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 17:55:53 yep I will chuck a few quid in the banner fund
Title: Re: Sir Martin Arib and Andrew Black Post by: Notts red on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 20:50:15 Happy to put a fiver in.
