Don't worry...Peter Ridsdale will come riding in to save them.  Oh !!

haha
and they want to host the world cup games...soapy tit wank

wheres the jap guy that bought them?

Next time one of us says Fitton should put his hand in his pocket more, or Wilson should sign a striker and a centre back, take a deep breath and remember

Theres no fucking money in running a football club!

We're run as close to 'properly' as we have been in my lifetime, yet we're still losing £2m a year or something. (might be wrong here)

This plymouth situation will happen to half of all league clubs in some form or another over the next few seasons and it needs to happen for football to right itself. In my opinion we are unbelievably lucky we've currently got a decent board in place who are here for the forseeable.

Well fucking said!

In Fitton and Wilson we trust!

Indeed....hoorah.

I saw Fallon went out on loan to Ipswich.

Amen.

Financial stability might be dull, but it's a damn sight better than the alternative.

dittoing the amen.

Running within our means as much as we can may seem a bit frustrating at times, but football's so unsustainable in it's current form that in the long term the head start in sensible spending will hopefully leave us in good stead.

Thats nice...shame with the way things are going on field the fans wont be hear for the foreseable future.

I'd rather see us play shit than not have a team to see at all, so I for one am very happy with our board even if it is very frustrating at times
.

You and a few others Nick(me to).....on field success is as important as off field success to a lot of fans...maybe not me and you but to plenty of others who wont continue to pay good money to watch poor fayre......just saying we have a team is enough is a dangerous game.....ask Luton etc.

I think if Fitton and co looked like they were being so frugal with the spending that we were about to drop out of the league then we might all have something different to say, but that's very much an if that ever happened scenario.

On the pitch success is something which is much easier to sort out when you don't have the distractions of players not being paid and winding up orders off it, and easier to fix too.

The only real wake-up call would be the death of a team at Championship level and even then a "big" name. I doubt the football world will weep the demise of Doncaster Rovers after a few months. However, lose Leeds United and they'll be recording documentaries, publishing books and the like for years.

Not quite the same but look at Luton Town. They plummetted from the 2nd tier to Non-League and if we were brutally honest, nobody really misses them.

We'll be rewarded for a sensible business strategy eventually. However, it'll take time and I would happily take that over a season of misguided glory followed by it's grizzly conclusion.

So true Rich...good post.
No one would miss us though either.

That's all well and good, but we need a goalscorer and a brilliant winger and a solid centre back and we should get them all in straight away or else we may lose a few matches and that would be the end of the world...

Well said Rich.  We need a sustainable club.  All else is a bonus.

99% of posts are complete irrational rubbish. Not good enough, Wilson out, AF spend more etc or we won't get promoted this season! It's a pleasant surprise to read an entire thread of sensible and rational posts.

Hang on, is this the twilight zone?  :headhurts:

although having a stable club is great and all that,is it unreasonable to expect a loaded board who chose to buy stfc to throw some money at it?
they must know that football clubs dont make money,and nobody made them buy it.so why not have a right go at success?

So that they don't load the club with debts, wages etc that aren't sustainable so that if they do ever move on we're royally fucked all over again. Not rocket science. Some fans are their own worst enemies

wouldn't we be fucked if they left now anyway?

We'd certainly be in a much, much better position than when they came. Or than we would be if they'd followed the "Spend, spend, spend for success" advice of some of our fans

the first point is blatantly obvious.spend spend spend would be stupid too.

Well, then. On a sort of unrelated note, I nearly got broadsided on the way into work by a van with "Arriba Wellness Centre" written on the side. Which made me think of you. Do you have a "Wellness Centre"?

Or are you sick to the core?

yes it was me.didn't you see me gving you the one fignered salute?

I wonder if they are losing interest to be honest.

All I will say is that if they start demolishing stands they must, must follow it through at complete the new ground.
