I guess it depends on what sort of institution you actually work for, but I would have thought some concern for the effects of your financial machinations would have been in order?
It is a real shame, I took them to the prem on footy manager! always upsetting to see a club that I have close ties with in serious trouble.
Couple of ideas off the top of my head... 1 - Anyone buying into a club has to provide 2 years of funds to cover operating costs up front before the takeover can happen 2 - That money is put into a secure account which can be accessed by the FA/FL/FAPL if a club gets into trouble to pay wages etc and which the owner can't draw upon for their own means. 3 - Bring in a rule that a club can't spend more than a certain percentage of turnover on wages (unless the owner puts the money up front into aforementioned bank account) 4 - Clubs have to honour all debts including taxes by a certain time and not be able to defer them 5 - Once a person is involved at the top of a club that has gone into Administration, they are banned for life from having any involvment at any level in any future club in the UK.
All of which would make it much harder to find ownership groups...but would result in finding more who were in it for the long haul. Worthwhile tradeoff, I think; the biggest issue is that a good many sales take place under a shadow of imminent disaster, which leads to a cycle of bad moves, bad debt and bad ownership transfers.
As painful as it sounds, if it does make it harder to find the right people and in some cases, clubs go to the wall... then so be it.
Alternatively you could end up with more teams like Chester who have been taken over and run very successfully by their fans. I was all for a Saints fans buy out when we were up the river, but the scale of it was a bit overwhelming.
Isn't "working for a financial institution" one of those modern phrases like site manager rather than caretaker? Does he mean he's a ****er, sorry banker (typo) or does he sell car insurance? Whatever he does he might know a lot about his job, but knows nothing about people. Sad, ain't it?
There is nothing wrong with being a banker. Without the bankers brining in the cash from abroad, this country would be on it's knees. I know a lot about people, you have to, too succeed in this sector.
Laugable. If you did, you'd know that acting like a callous, unsympathetic dick closes more doors than it opens.
This. What does it matter to us if a small business goes bust? Not saying I want it to, it makes absolutely no difference to me either way.
As stated before, my English is truly diabolical being dyslexic doesn't exactly help. However it doesn't matter as most of my work is with numbers. Letters and written materials are in general done by the PA.
Perhaps your PA could edit your posts on here - maybe we'd get some sense instead of the controversial crap you come out with to get a rise.....
