Details are on the twittersphere. Ken Bates has bought GFH for 1P and is embarking on a cost cutting drive to turn round the ailling financial giant. Apparently he has identified a significant sum that has recently been used to secure the services of medium grade employees, and he has decreed that a corresponding saving muct be made. White off Becks off Varney promoted Pearce and Norris given 5 year deals at 50p a week.
Im tracking along, they reckon the world ends at 9:00pm here and its only 11:18am so still several hours of living yet
We seem to have continued this on the frisky Friday thread, can a mod maybe take the posts concerning the press conference on the FF thread and pop them onto this one?
I feel a little deflated after the press conference, but I can't quite put my finger on it though as to why. Maybe I was expecting something really exciting like news of millions to spend or maybe it has just gone on so long and it feels like nothing has changed with KB still at the club? Maybe I still don't feel confident that we are going to have much to spend, yes more than we did under Bates but enough to sustain a challenge? This time last year I would have pissed my pants at the news, today I just felt finally but....
You're not alone, Ristac, old boy! I felt completely flat after the press conference, and the half season ticket announcement left me feeling really deflated. There is absolutely no evidence so far that anything is going to change. Absolutely nothing concrete, just a few hints at perhaps getting Warnock what he wants, but no budgets announced or hints or anything. This tweet on Wednesday also set high expectations, like we were going to get some announcements about the 'new era'. Of course, we didn't. David Haigh ‏@haighdavid Very exciting week in history of #LUFC as we get closer to a new era.
And we all thought the Bates era was bad, well just wait for the GFH Capital era, we're really ****ed. No evident debt, no money and no interested investors...oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Hard to imagine it being worse but I guess it is remotely possible to be worse than he who is almost out.
