Hired Mercs.

[leefer]

An honest question here....on a day when the new board are trying to clip the wages of an employee(not knockng that)

Just wondering if the Mercs are still being hired by the club...and if so why.....i use my own car to get to work....as do the players .

I am hoping that someone tells me they are a thing of the past.

If they are it's a little bit rich imo. If their playing the austerity game I wanna see them rock up to the CG in a clamped out Ford Escort or a skateboard as posted on the other thread!!

It's a perfectly good question. Don't expect a straight answer.

They have 2 hire cars apparently.

The other 14 that were being hired by the previous regime have gone back

The happy clappers are truth obfuscators

Every company I know gives company cars to executives, even those that are cost cutting. I really think questioning this is nit picking.
A player at a 3rd division club is on 8k a week (allegedly) but you're looking at company cars? Bit of perspective needed maybe?

The previous board had company cars as well.

Fairly sure I read a tweet from Sam Morshead that they're saving dosh on the new leases anyway

The old regime and management all had big expensive cars. But the previous regime could afford it.

The current one can't so I can't see why they should have them. If you can't afford them don't have them. Also why do they need big expensive merc's? They could've got Micra's instead at less than £200 pm.

If you own a business you buy/lease a car for your use.

Just because it's a football club don't expect the owners to wear hair shirts and cycle to work

[luckyluke699]

To be fair, didn't they cover this off quite adequately clearly at the Trust meeting?

It's 2 fucking cars. Get a grip you soft cunt.

Apparently not...

[Sippo]

but how much is a merc leased fester?

A micra is half the price, with better fuel economy...

They could even add those eye lash things.

[Samdy Gray]

A lease on a Merc will be £400 to £500 per month. All tax deductible for the club.

It's really no great shakes. People are getting their knickers in a twist over something so trivial.

[Sippo]

But Jed in a Micra would be funny though.
