Well if they are than that's illegal. Maybe someone should take them to court.

I think you mean if the Bank is then its Lowe that is picking the team by default!

Well, they're not physically of course, but you get the point...

Whomever we want to select, we now have little choice if a bid is received...

So, why are the bank getting involved with team selection?

RL has a computer programe that lists all of SLH assets.

One part of the programe has the squads wage bill and player values.

Its simple to use,everytime Barclays ring up Rupert has to open the programe and finds the players names are all in red,he then has to click players names who he has had an offer on or who are about to be out of contract,as soon as the squad turns green he can stop clicking until the next phone call from Barclays.

It was always going to be this way. We would take an offer for any player to reduce the debt.

Trouble is cant see a point when we wont have to take any offer.

Therefore just a slow lingering death hoping someone is going to come in and rescure us.

RL shouldnt bull**** the fans. "Total football revolutuion = Total asset stripping"

It s not such a catchy phrase but a lot nearer the truth.

You will hang yet Rupert

Whoever is picking the team, they haven't done a bad job so far. They are already officially too good for the Scotland job.

And JP is picking the team.

No, JP is picking from what he's been told he has available to him.
The "available list" is determined by our DoF Ru**rt, and he will always use "the bank" as an excuse.

All this "the bank" is making the descisions is bull****, we have just spunked £1.5mill euros on an untried French kid. These player sales are all Lowe's descision.

Well said,spot on IMO

For the umteenth time, the Bank would not be picking the Team as otherwise they become" interested Directors" under the terms of the Companies Act and thus liable to the Administrator/ Liquidator in the event of such an arrangement. No bank with the reputation of Barclays would undertake such action.

Augsutin Delgado signs next week.

Chief scout Lowe has checked him out personally.
