He's a non-exec, but he could report to the Cayman boys on what a mess the board room is making of matters. However, Methven is a slippery and seasoned con-man. Shifting the blame comes as naturally to him as breathing.
If the likes of Docherty really are on 10k a week as rumoured - and you’d imagine all of the Luton pensioners are on good money as well, along with Ahadme, the SMT must be losing money for the investors hand over fist now. It’s just basic economics- the ST revenue was spunked long ago, and other than a decent turnout from Mansfield, how many would have paid £30 on the door like I did yesterday ? Judging by the sparsity of the attendance, 300-400 max. It can only be a matter of time before Dubai Addick or the Prawn Nosher receive an e mail from CM, and “float the idea” on CL and ITTV that it would be a good idea to close one of the Stands. You do not need a 27,000 stadium when you have a s hit team that only attracts 8,000 fans max.
The table never lies, the Yanks will wield the big stick come the start of next season. Of this I am certain.
The reason slippery Charlie and the SMT hasn’t put out the customary statement “we will be supporting the manager in January” is because they won’t be - at least not without significant exits first. My understanding is that there is no money. Zilch. Nada. Nowt. Fvck all. The Piggy Bank is empty. We need to find other mug clubs stupid enough to buy our duds before NJ can bring anyone in.
All day long. Sadly, all three of the clowns will come out of this with a significant increase to their bank balance, whilst being complete failures.
Perhaps a fan with quote “a personal line direct to the boardroom” could ask Methven to confirm there’s no money in January ?
