New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Re potentially unfavourable commercial arrangements, don't know exactly how it works but I'm assuming that Nationwide cover the difference for every discounted ticket sold?

If not then a more favourable arrangement would need to be reached.
They can afford it after all.

Hadn't thought of that agreement. Good point

Nationwide I'm sure pay plenty in a lump sum for sponsorship. They won't be paying any difference per ticket. Its a perk for a lofty sponsorship fee.

I am sure the Nationwide offering was brought back/renegotiated under Clems stewardship as well.

Stop whining about what you were handed (decided to take on, not forced to) and get moving on new strategies.  So far, very little has really changed.  The only thing that did was because the Trust pushed it and Eady paid for it.

Spot on. Cunts going on like hes doing us all a favour, you were around the club for years before 'taking over' and saw something that you could gain from it, be it financial or a boost to your ego owning a club. Fucking own it, or fuck off.

[Wobbly Bob]

Fucking own it, or fuck off.

This is more or less the view that I've come around to.
Nothing against Clem personally & don't really believe that he is in any way a "wrongun". Others may disagree.
The January window will be a defining moment of his ownership one way or another.

I have heard we owe Puma money, which is why no third shirt.

Probably why we ended up having to lock in with them for longer too despite them being a bit shit and late every year.

Shirts have been a mixed bag but other clubs with the same supplier don't seem to have the same issues...

Does anyone know what interest Z Austin and Kiely have in not selling? Austin supposedly manoeuvred Morfuni into position to take over, and now wants to stop him selling (maybe…). Do we just assume the worst because it allows someone to (no names, obviously) to use the club for reasons other than football…

Assuming any new buyer isn't dazzled by whatever he brings to the party, I'd guess Zav will be told he can do something else on a Saturday.
Anything else is utter speculation, surely?

Its definitely pure speculation, but when you have a convicted drug money launderer hanging around along with one of the countries biggest convicted drug dealers its kind of hard to avoid that kind of speculation.

Unless the club was being ran swimmingly and results were favourable.

If we’d won on Saturday we wouldn’t be having all this wrist slashing - the club’s circumstance would be exactly the same.

Same as not enough people gave a fuck about Power until the Sheridactyl season.

[Bob's Orange]

The Trust have spoken

Not a bad statement. Tbf, they can’t do much if the club refuses to interact.

Surely, players know if they got paid on time..

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

Good statement. Poor on the club for kicking the can down the road.

Clem is drowning in his own bullshit at the moment.

Agree based on the characters involved, I think the speculation that the club are being used as a front is a stretch though

Don't agree on the results thing. There's been a lot of unhappiness with lack of transparency throughout the last year
