Acun looking for a buyer.

A lot of the club staff have worked there for years; many of them long before Acun bought the club. They owe him **** all in the way of personal loyalty.

 

Sorry Jim I salute your support of the club as admirable but I find your moral compass wanting. If people don't stand up to wronge doings (you said corruption not me) but instead hide they are the cowards not those who risk thier livelihoods by calling it out.

 

All I'm saying is if they are so morally invested as to tell tales of private club business to a journo they should do the honourable thing and tell Acun to shove his salary and resign.

You don't get to sit in the bakery complaining about the way the bread is baked whilst still fingering the cream buns and licking it off your fat fingers into your big fat gob.

 

I guess during the times Delap and Carvalho in, we lost 500k per week, of course transfer money is excluded, pure operation cost.

Probably that figure is somewhere between 200K-300K since last season which means we need 10-15M every year, either from owner or player sales/buys. Since Acun takeover we only made 8M profit from transfers, if you remove money we spent, divide it to 4 years, it is less than 40K per week, so effectively we were losing at least 450K at some point.

Edit: Of course I didn't calculate taxes per sales, which might reduce number even below 8M.

 

Got to agree with Jim the not actual real tiger, the people telling journalists about the bad **** going on are definitely the bad guys.

 

Thing is, he can (or could) afford it. He just went way too hard way too fast.

We’ve all done exactly the same thing on a night out on the bag. It happens.

 

Agreed 100%

 

You think they're earning anywhere near a decent salary..? A lot of people could earn more elsewhere but choose not to in order to work for a club they love. Really pathetic comment from you.

 

Why should transfer money be excluded? And even if it is excluded we lost 350k a week. This 500k a week figure has gained legs rather bizarrely.

 

Even more reason to go and find a better job then. Why would you want to keep taking a less than decent wage from a guy you detest?

And if you think the people who work at the club are doing it because they love the club then you're deluded. What sort of a person would take a less than decent wage just because they get to work in the office of the club they support? Weird way to go through your career.

Fans don't get jobs, skilled people do. Do you imagine them kissing the badge when they return from the toilet and sit down at their desk? Ha ha.

 

Unhygienic.

 

Even if you include it is only 8M profit for 4 years, if you deduce taxes, probably less, quite insignificant.

There is a misconception that we made a lot of money from transfers thanks to 3 big sales, but people tend to ignore that we spent a lot of medium amount on many players who many of them left or lost value already, so they are not even an asset anymore.

 

Usually, people go to the press when they’ve already tried other avenues and gotten nowhere.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve raised concerns at work that have been ignored for lots of different reasons. It can sometimes take a bit of noise for decision makers to take notice.

It’s like the debts Acun settled: he only did so once the news was out there. You’d imagine they’d still be unpaid otherwise.

 

To be fair for some of the general administrative jobs the wage is surprisingly low. That’s not just exclusive to city. Few instances of clubs advertising for a head of social media and advertising it at around 22k. Some clubs prey on either hiring a fan willing to take a hit or a guy wanting to get into football.

I interviewed for a commercial role some time ago and the wage offered was below market rate for the time

 

It doesn't make it right. If they are so morally invested in the club they wouldn't want the man's money. He is literally keeping a roof over their head. They can go and find work anywhere and tell the world about what's going on.

If this was a physio telling the press about a players mental health or a player telling another club about team secrets people would want them sacking and hanging. But because its someone leaking sensitive information that is helping to paint Acun in a worse light it's all great.

 

Fair point.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

I agree. I was offered a job when I left London and couldn't believe the salary. Clubs all over the UK prey on people who will work for peanuts because they think working in sport is a great job.

 

Its a sunday
We dont need acun pr today
Dont worry

 

Club losing 500,00 quid a week, under a transfer embargo. Yes, heaven forbid anybody should paint Acun in a worse light.
