New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

First post i see on facebook

There’s literally a winding up order on the ownership vehicle at the moment isn’t there? Whilst it’s probably down to late filing and not the biggest issue it is another fuck up/threat!

Edit: got discontinued today. Admin error.

Piss well and truly boiled.

Fuck off Clem with your whining about bullying while you have cunts such as Austin and Ranford in your midst. What a hypocritical little bitch you are.

Nothing on how he's going to fix it. OK he inherited debt, and he wants the cash back. Fine morally, no problem.

But now he's done that, the debt is still piling up and no plan seemingly on how to fix it. A vague plan to lob some sort of hospitality into the DRS isn't going to cut it.

[Posh Red]

Yeah i noticed there was no mention of the debt being written off like said at the fans forum. He must know people have been asking that question recently

Also interesting its come out today, aren't the Trust meeting with the Adver for an article today?

To be fair I saw a clip from the forum & he said they were going to wipe the debt, he will argue that he has done that as the club don’t owe anyone external.

It’s another of his “I 100% own the club” statements, which is technically true, he just doesn’t own 100% of it which is what people were actually asking.

Yeah its pissed me off. Decided not to read it but people are telling me enough.


Including things like sourcing kit maker ffs. A sunday league owner does that. Its like complaining you've got a hard life because you had to brush your teeth in the morning and put your clothes on for fuck sake.

Plot firmly lost.

Exactly, I used to run a Sunday league side & bought kits. It's not exactly rocket science.

We negotiated a release from our contract with Puma which was costing the Club 100s of thousands of pounds per year. This has allowed us to negotiate a new contract with Pro-Direct and access to the Adidas kit.

Hundreds of thousands a year to Puma? Cant see it to be honest

That quote reminds me of the 1958 debt McCrory and co said about, that had never been picked up in due dillegence in 55 years and countless owners

Probably penslty fees due to late payments made by the club to Puma.

That’s the statement of a man who is clearly letting the fan pressure get to him. Some of the ‘successes’ he listed is laughable.  The advisory board is a joke, the CG remains to be a dump and we should be happy with the fact we have a kit? Brilliant. The biggest budget since PDC is more of a concern rather than a celebration. He has clearly appointed incompetent individuals if the biggest budget since PDC is seeing us languish 21st in League Two

[JoeMezz]

He’s moved debt into his debt and made the football shit in the process. Fuck off Morfuni

Whilst I get that FM might not be the most accurate of indicators but having recently upgraded my 9 year old laptop & jumped from FM15 to FM24 - the wages, transfers fee, etc are worlds apart.

The fact that our budget isn’t bigger than one from 12 years is quite frankly shocking - £6m in 2012 must be what £8.5m in 2024?

[DV]

…or their other way round.

£6m in 2024 would be what? The equivalent of £4.5m? in 2012?!

I mean if you got offered a job & they said we are paying you almost as much as we paid person x who did the job in 2012; you wouldn’t be taking that as a positive would you?

Agreed. This is the entire basis of the junior doctor strikes for example. Apart from for them it was 2008 with a vastly increased workload .

Pretty much how a lot of graduate schemes work! (but I do take your point)
