More Holt jibber-jabber...

[Spencer_White]

I cant believe it. After all theyve put us through. They are crowing and patting themselves on the back. The deal hasnt even been completed yet.

Aaaah, like Barry Corr gets?

No, that's bad back pay.

I agree it's taking the piss a bit. Although Holt now talking like this can only be an encouraging sign that the takeover is nearing completion.

Are you sure??

Usually, Holt in press = disaster coming.

I tend to agree but he's not talking about deals going through or anything. In fact he's almost saying goodbye (we can only hope)

Adver seems positive today.

We need something by the end of the week though.

I like this bit:

"It has been like the Alamo at times at the club but everyone has shown a real Dunkirk spirit."

If only Davey Crockett had shown a bit more Dunkirk spirit at the Alamo,  eh Bob?!   Or  is he implying that the tommies at Dunkirk didn't show enough "spirit of the Alamo" ?! or, err, something.

Perhaps they are going to organise a mass evacuation of the club in rental cars from Alamo (cash paid up front presumably).  Would be good to add to the authenticity of this re-enactment by organinsing some heavy machine-gun fire for them.

LAYING A CARPET
Laying a carpet is... very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You check the dimensions, lay her out on the floor, pin her down, walk all over her. If you're adventurous - like me - you might like to try an underlay.
 
PUTTING UP A TENT
Putting up a tent, is... very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You rent her, unzip the door, put up your pole an'... slip in to the old bag.
 
WASHING A CAR
Washing a car, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You've got to caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

GOING FISHING
Of course, As you know, I'm a very keen fisherman myself. You know, I've often thought that going fishing was very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First of all, clean and inspect your tackle, carefully pull back your rod over, and remove any dirt or gunge that may have built up whilst not in use. Then, extend your rod to its full length, and check that there are no kinks or any wear. Particularly at the base, where the grip is usually applied. Make sure you've got a decent float, the appropriate bait, and that there's plenty of shot in your bag.
 
HANGING WALLPAPER
Well, hanging wallpaper is also very much like making love to a  beautiful woman. Clean all the relevant surfaces, spread her out on  the table, cover her with paste, and stick her up. Then you clean your brush, light your pipe, stand back and admire your handiwork.
 
MAKING COFFEE
Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir...gently, You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk.

ANSWERING THE PHONE
Answering the phone, Paul, is... a little like making love to a beautiful woman. In that you've gotta... lift the receiver, put it to your ear, speak... loudly and clearly... oh, yes - and don't forget to state your name.

BEING IN THERAPY
And yet, having therapy is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You... get on the couch, string 'em along with some half-lies and evasions, probe some deep dark holes, and then hand over all your money.

BEING IN A CRASH
Going to the brink of death and back, in a nine car pile-up on a dual carriage-way, Paul, is... very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First of all, brace yourself; hold on tight - particularly if it's a rear-ender. And pray you make contact with her twin airbags as soon as possible.

Patronising twat

[tans]

Just fuck off Bob, you silly old cunt.

[RobertT]

I'd suggest that about £180,000 on rent for a building that allows you to earn £3.5m in revenues is pretty good going Bob.  I'd be more concerned about the make-up and total of the £1.5m in Administrative Expenses.  How many pens does a football club use in a year?

[genf_stfc]

well quite, I mean...

"In short our incomes in three and a half and our expenditure is four and half.

"We have substantial overhead here, our player budget is £3m and that only leaves us half a million for the rest.

"A thick of end of a quarter of a million is spent on rent and rates for the year so you can quite easily see where the money goes.

"It gets even harder in the championship because the average losses there are five to six million pounds."

so even though he has just said the rent is less than 0.25 million, 3+0.25 = 3.25, means that somewhere there are another 1.25 million a year in out goings - the rent and rates makes up just a fifth of this value so no, actually Bob, I don't quite understand your point there.  How does this compare against, oooh I don't know just to pick something out of the air, interest payments.  Also isn't there a limit on amount you can pay players against turnover - or is that just in league 2 ?  if so, would be interesting to see how that compares against the value of 3.5 million.

Finally, what relevance are the average losses for Championship sides ?  Are you honestly saying that the business plan should we get to the Championship is "we'll probably do about the same as everyone else" ?

please, just sign the papers, sod off and let someone else have a go.
