.... and continue to use the rejected name change wherever they could get away with it for as long as they could
I hope he calls again after this game, same with the other lot who was ringing on the asylum phone...
So is that 22 million over ten years? Seems fair enough if so. 3.8 million is that every season? A one off? Seems strange if a one off, why?
Nine years, the accounts for the past year aren’t out until September. I’m pretty sure they haven’t taken a dividend every year, but I only remembered the most recent one, I can’t remember what they did in previous seasons.
Burns needs access to the club/family way more then the club/family need him, so unfortunately burns will never really push or ask the questions we/he wants to ask
I'd even welcome several yellow cards against us, it would at lease show we're going down fighting, what a shower.
Burnsey tried in the pm interview. Grant was on replay message mode. Said nothing different. Still thinks he's in the job next seaon. Goodness gracious me !
If anyone can find anyone from the “it’s their club, they can do what they want brigade” remember to ask them if they feel the same.
I like Burnsy, but he’s no David Conn, you can always tell he’s out of his depth on the financial stuff and it’s easy for Ehab to bat him away. It’s easy for someone like me, who’s run multiple companies for over thirty years, with holding companies etc, but it’s not stuff you’d expect most to be knowledgeable about, not unless they happen to be an accountant.
So reading between the lines, 'the plan' was to go down in order to reset for league one and in doing so slash the budget. either Terry is a willing contributor and a brown nosing 'yes man', or a bit thick, probably a bit of each. I guess Blunderside, and the Fail are now fully up to speed with 'the plan'.
Been done to death on here ... but still to say the plan was never to go down! They've ****ed up big style (Ehab and McCann). They did though mention a few weeks back that they working on 2 plans for next season - one if they stayed up and one if they got relegated (and to be fair, that's what any club would do when facing the possibility of relegation). Maybe it's just that 'the plan' long term remains the same - something like what Enob rambled on about when McCann first came in - cut cloth accordingly, bring in young exciting talent (read cheap), fast paced pressing front foot exciting football (guffaw). Maybe the plan is now being refined to incorporate basics like leaders, bite, experience, goals, defensive coaching, and stuff?
In the interview with Burnsy a few weeks ago, Ehab made much of a Bolton equaliser? winner? keeping them in the Championship. Said they celebrated, but it was to be their financial downfall. Bolton were sustainable in League 1, but not in the Championship. He then told us the City players have a 50% pay reduction in their contract. Putting those two statements together at the time, I thought, no, surely not, no. Sadly, with hindsight, there is no reading between the lines needed. That really was the plan.
