If it is correct that NP was on 300k and Jan on 60k I doubt Gorre or Wotte would have been on more. Webster was on larger wages and was still on a contract that had been awarded by whom Im not sure. NP would not have run the whole ship, or perhaps you think he would have. if not he would have had a string of coaches and so I doubt they would have been on less than Jan and co.So NP package of wages would be far more than Jans. As for a masterstroke, had it come off it would have been. It was only our home form that did for us. I dont know the financial state the club was in when RL was called back, but there was a leaked e-mail on here telling us about MW's concerns at the state of them.Had he not come back we could well have been in admin oct-nov last year, just when the world was in meltdown and even harder than now to get an investor. That is just luck not down to LC LM or anybody else who would have been at the club if RL had not come back. For any business that had got its overdraft down from 6.3m to 5m then told to go down to 4m only for then to pull the plug on is really tough and I wonder quite why? If it had happened to any of the other men in charge i would be be just as dismayed for it to happen and I felt it was totally destructive. If most of the people on here had been told to repay a third of their mortgage in 9months did so and still be evicted they would find it unfair and wrong.That to a degree is what happened to us, and none of us whoevers side of the fence we are on are winners. I would like to know the exact timing and influence brought it on.Considering we could have done so the week before without the penalty next season i find it bemusing and shows RL had no warning of it IMO

I assumed so, you'll be involved dont worry.

That is highly privilaged info that will be decided in the dressing room. We need to have all our info in house and have complete surprise.Dubai Phil has been pawing through stats and old footage looking for chinks in our armour.No stone will be unturned by him to thwart our path to glory. Im am a tad worried as he keeps telling us he 'has a cunning plan'

That type of statement puts you immedialtely down the order. I will decide when I have seen and spoken to your teammates.

Do you think he has earnt more than Askham? I expect te directors who sold their shares earnt a fair amount as well and they did not spend their whole business day working at the club. Bring on some new people so the nightmare of all the past goons who have been custodians can be forgotten

Um did it say the holiday was implimented by LC or did they not agree to go through with it.I assume there would be fees to set that up. As for the manager wages it does show A) false economy but did indeed show that it was done to cut costs and the team would have been a lot cheaper financially to have in place. Yes it may well have been a stupid route but at that stage we had to do something it seems.In the end it was fruitless as it failed but if we had won a few more home games to go with the away form it would have been a masterstroke. Keeping NP would have been the preferred route but if things were so dire we had to have a 60k manager I odubt we would have made it to November before admin.

If they were out of contract the club cannot afford for them to sign another one.It costs to even arrange these things.There will be a total stop on spending.The only money the club will be getting in is the merchandise form the stock we hold. Lets hope the rent on the West Quay shop is not due because if it is that could make us fold if the landlords get impatient

Gb did not achieve promotion and was allowed to spend more than we had.he still had major players taken out of the squad every time we looked to be heading somewhere. He is just another of the group who have failed us in the last 5 years.

The FL cannot afford to let us win the case.It would open them up to us sueing them as they basically made us lose incentive to work that little harder to stay up.I understand they could argue 'but the incentive was not -10 next season' . That would not hold water IMO as we were as a club desensitised by the decision.

A top player shines whereever he plays. Give me an example where he turned the game or was head and shoulders above the others?

or he was unpopular with his teammates perhaps

I'm sure it is. -6 in the first nine, they dont make those crazy golf courses like they used to.

shouldnt you be at home writing your name into your coat so you donty lose it instead of trying to upset 1 of my star strikers? He'll be even more up for it now

No sadly

I agree

yeah but when was the last Brazilian one on there?

Good calm finish, Im nearly impressed.

ooohhhh, you are expecting some more than 'whoever's closet to the ball takes the throwins and the tallest player marks their tallest player, the bloke with the gloves is in goal.'

Not only have I been neutered of my ability to pick a captain i now dont have any power to give throw in duties. That's well and truly f##### my team talk.

Who scored the 3rd and set up the 4th? I must say seeing that heartened me as i for the first time seeing my strike force in tandem. Granty's goal was a fluke you could plainly see he was looking the other way and he missed timed his tame effrot that was going straight to the keeper into a stunning volley.

To a degree you are right. he is good at assembling a useful team he needs somebody who is better at organising that squad than him.GH profited form his squads and he did improve their organisation

This is the problem though.Norwich Barnsley Luton B'mouth fans were on our case as they felt let down and now we will be on Stockports case.It shows there is no consistancy or leadership in the FL. Lutons points deduction was disgusting and they have been wronged more than any team around.

Well that is different, I always have a place in my teams for mercurial talent. Mercurial talent and a lead weight is different in case you dont know Baj

but by him highlighting it keeps the conversation alive and others may tag on.

I had a long reply to the initial demand and the forward not being a good position to be captain thing was in that. My team is full of captains and so i doubt it will make a difference.I'll be subbing him if he is a lazy goalhanger like Im told he is anyway
