If we get Gunning we must also shackle Shan.

I was there last night, was a decent night.  Had a few beers with Ginginho and sat next to Sean McGurk for dinner, what a nice lad.  Had a good chat, and he is very excited and motivated for next year and wants to make his mark with us, if the club take up the "option".

Ging was sat next to FBT on our table also, some interesting conversations.

FBT was very open and he won't be here next season, he's already told them he wants to leave.
However the club have an option on him, so could trigger it (which i'm sure they will) to get a fee.

Shame as he would almost certainly be happy to stay, he said the way the club is being run is a joke and Gunning shouldn't be anywhere near the managers job.

He was full of praise for Shan and thinks the recent upturn in results is down to him and his attention to detail.

We spent the 2nd lowest on agent fees for this season. Our £23k total is less than 10% of FGR's £260k.


...and Chelsea spent c£410m  Roll Eyes

From c£23k to c£410m and yet both teams embroiled in some Abramovich jiggery pokery   Huh?

Not quite, the total Premier League spend was £410m, Chelsea spent £75m of that. Obscene nonetheless.

Pitches are good. Facilities are good. There will be teams in the bottom 2 divisions who train on worse.
Clearly the entrance way to the pitches is a bit of a dumping ground but if that video edits off the first 30 seconds and goes straight into the actual training footage no one says a thing…

**Health Warning - you will NOT like this idea/team/people**

For all those who often use the line - "where are the queues of people waiting to invest?", or "why would anyone want to invest in a L2 Club when they lose money?".

The following shows, even if not an idea you can get behind, that all manner of people with more money than sense fancy having a play.....

Regardless of the background, can we tap up their Operations team?....

Surely someone at the club looks at that video and thinks “people already believe we are tinpot, just cut out the shipping containers bit” then that video just becomes normal content that no one bats an eyelid at. Now it will become another Rolex clock image for people to point out. They really do not help themselves.

Just looked at it. Blimey. Is that Bevesrbrook? My son has played there and I don't remember it looking so shabby. Also didn't really recognise it

Presumably that also means one game in four not kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday?

Few Friday night games a year would be quite nice. Maybe a later kick off on a Saturday too I'd be up for.

You know, if we get new owners and I start going again of course.

Yep, he was very open about the current situation, probably because he has nothing to lose.  One thing is clear, he won't be here next season unless they appoint a decent manager and start to show ambition as a club, which means he won't be here next season.  Wants to stay, but not under current circumstances.

Wish some of the Clem lemmings could hear what he has to say first hand. Probably still wouldn't open their eyes.

I understand this take, but disagree. I think we often under estimate how much influence a manager/head coach has.

Also statistically not the worst defense in our history either.

But he played in a kamikaze formation under Flynn, and now plays for an idiot in Gunning. I can't over state how much i have heard about how bad gunning is as the man in control.

I don't see we get much better than a FBT in league 2 honestly.

Yeah our defense while being a shambles in itself, you have to put some stock in to the last few managers outright refusal to recognise a need for a DCM.

It’s interesting to hear FBT’s perspective- I don’t doubt it’s true. But it does seem unprofessional to be slagging off your employer when you’re on work duty. Probably for the best all round if he’s going.

Not when your employer is Clem.

I wish more of our players would speak out and help the drips take their rose tinted glasses off.
