Maybe we should get Omar and Whitcut in the stocks, £1 for a wet sponge £10 for a brick. Our money troubles will be over in no time!

A very interesting meeting. I walked away thankful that the news was at least not as bad as I had feared walking in.

If there is ay good news, it is that finally we are going to be attempting to live within our means. There isn't anybody who is going to pump large sums to fund us. However, the result, certainly for the next year for starters, is going to be some real austerity. Fans are going to have to come to terms with chicken and egg, it's no use whingeing that X is leaving, or Y is not being signed, unless you have the bank balance to send your own cheque to solve that particular problem.

The continued absence of half the Sky money is going to be a crippling factor, and if so-called fans all stay away in droves then the knife will have to cut ever nearer the bone.

If money is so tight, why sign all the extra back rom staff? Not what I'd consider absolutely necessary in times of hardship !!

And who the hell are you to tell me what to do? So you have had enough have you?

Well you know what to do then don't you? There is a option to mark me as a "foe" in your control panel. Do this and you won't see any posts I make.

TBH, if you don't think people should have an opinion then an internet message board is probably not your place.

There is no need for me to stop posting as I am staying within the AUP of this board. You, however.......

Left hand, meet right hand : Thu Dec 05, 2013 7:17 am  
Yesterday's T&A - Cummins looking to strengthen squad, few things in pipeline...........today's T&A - we might lose some players

FFS - are people talking to each other ?

This club is being run like Billy Smarts Circus....I admire the honesty, but surely this financial analysis should have gone on before we started signing players??

I for one can see one of the new recruits leaving before they have eve played for us. What a sham

Rant over

So a shortfall of 400k to make up this season according to T and A report. Oh and we have a shortfall of 500k from Sky money. Funny that.

Yet still we will have some on here who will say that the loss of sky money made no difference.
