It's Ok Dubai has a lot of celebrity connections, allegedly Jonathan King is coming along to help towel you off

and Kelvin Davis is player of the season

or there was some skullduggery around. To believe RL did it out of spite is beyond belief. It is like turkeys voting for christmas to do so. You never know who could be lurking in the shadows . It could make a tremendous conspiracy theory.

Your boys heads will be swimming after team talks like that Phil. Even Cantona will have trouble deciphering that stuff.

If we dont come out of admin without a CVA yes it will be -25. Administration is so exciting isn't it?

I have not spoken to anybody connected with the club for a few weeks.They have more to worry about than me asking whats going on.

I agree but some people know whats going on and so can be more relaxed than others. It is a feeding frenzy each time a little snippet is put up. If only it was possible to sort the wheat from the chaff and also understand the little hints that are there but hard to see.

CEO or shareholder who would you expect to get the most money over a 12 year period? I personally have said that I want them all gone and never set foot in the boardroom again. It will be interesting to see how fans view the new people if they indeed take dividends. Lets move on to a better future, but i still am happy for you to be my stalker it keeps me on my toes

Well I thought I get up there so it was easier for my stalker to see me

As it is a special souvenir edition i would have thought about 100. Some of the spectators might want them, you never know they might be on sale on E-bay tomorrow or friday. Lol

So you are not interested in me changing my programme notes and adding to it like Dubais version of War and Peace?

Only if you do the team talk

i did but took it as a compliment Duncan. I think you did a good piece that could be read by all without being offended. Iam in a lets be united mode and until people start rattling my cage i am just jogging alone waving to both my fans and detractors

Dont worry you are not alone. It will be one hell of a furrow you will make as you track forward and back. The club may need to tarmac the track again after the warm up

i found out over the weekend my mums friends niece from our area works on PA's yacht!!! If only I had known before id have told her to get in his ear to buy us.

even talked about in the States. Good interesting and thoughtful article

Lol,

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.
