Justin Tomlinson will be made up, just think of the *alleged* sponsor backhanders he'd be looking at lining up!

I couldn’t fathom out the figures Power was throwing about, the Bogle sell-on was 500 to 600k which would pay for two months running costs but the 375k grant would pay one months costs. The fee for DJ would pay the wages bill for February. It came across as making it up as he went along although I may be doing him a disservice. If the salary cap for league 1 is 2.5m,wages wouldn’t be much more than 200k per month. We’ve had staff furloughed, iFollow income and season ticket sales. We must have saved on Wellens salary so are things as desperate as power suggests?

Signing new players also suggest things are not as tight as Power says they are.

That’s probably what’s left after it’s been divvied up. If anybody actually thinks that all that money stayed within the club needs their heads shaking. It’s the end game. Grab what you can! |

Past accounts suggest the floor for running our club is around 4m to 5m a year. I doubt we are much below the 4m mark even with the furlough period. The released data suggests we might be getting a very small amount of income from iFollow. |

Sad but true. Is Standing's involvement not the indication that owners take their cut of transfer fees, indeed that that is what running a lower league club these days is all about? |

Happy to be corrected but wasn't there always a rumour knocking about that Fitton had some involvement/benefit from the Austin sale? Happy to delete if I have imagined this! |

Yep, described as a "finders fee" I believe. |

Think we can safely assume that after near on 6years it would appear Mr. Power talks a lot of bollocks. He's fit in well on here  |

Leaving aside any other qualities considered to be less endearing, I suspect that most supporters are only concerned about money.
I suspect that the tendency to be up one's own arse is likely to be overlooked if/when the cash rolls in.
Most of the PL would fall into that category one suspects. |

Rob Angus is excellent at documenting the contradictory accounts we've been given in this. Someone isn't telling the truth, and some of them have more reasons to fib than others... |
