No slight on you mate at all but I find it very uneasy that a phone call happened yesterday and now it’s plastered on here, someone at the club is gobbing off which makes me think their is a huge trust/confidence issue somewhere

I never said it came from the club.

I’m not dodging anything. I don’t have the clubs finances in front of me or the financial acumen to give an educated answer.

I just know that things aren’t as said by the owners and there’s a lot of cloak and dagger going in.

Hmmm. Feel slightly uneasy about the club at the moment.
 
Off to work so I can’t reply to anything else for a while.

I’ve said all I can for now though anyway.

You really are a prize plank.

Congratulations on making mad bob seem like normal bob.
 
Buffers seem to be on with potential targets also. If this cash input aint happening then feel club should be saying so. SD off twitter and not just for Cattermole leaving, in fact that wage save is a good thing and had to be done.

If we are moving our better players on then so be it if it means JR can bring in targets he has identified, if its just to cut running costs cos we are skint then its poor and not what we were expecting at all.

Still know after speaking to SD nad CM that they do have club at heart so i aint gonna barrack them as i feel they willl be trying.

and you know this how? You do put out stuff but give no detail whatsoever. How about letting us know the level of 'skintness' that we are at?

You don't care much for posters who ask reasonable questions, do you? Did you not expect posters to be curious about your leaked info?

I think there's a danger that we go too far the other way.
SD and Methven were knights in shining armour.
Now they're robbers and thieves.

They got rid of NDong, Dodgy and Rodwell.
They and their people brought in a whole new team quickly.
They brought in the Scottish manager of the year.
A club that was bottom of the league two years running was competing for promotion.

Who gets credit for all that if not them?
And but for the last five games of the season where we came off the rails everybody would be fairly happy now.
And nobody would care about them making a quick profit.

The current situation is worrying but we're still a good investment opportunity.

Your right about the saint or sinner choice.......but my question was about being special.....i cannot see what they have actually done that warrants the almost evangelical praise that they get from some on here ... They made mistakes by selling maja...they should have sat down with him and said your staying till the end of the season ...play for your move....and bugger the loss in revenue....but no they took the money and replaced him with a sick note on lower wages.......saintly no sinner no under achiever last hear yes....used the clubs assets to buy tbd majority of the club yes..... Jury is still out for me fella but I a. Willing to wait a season or so as we will know there metal by then!

I post what I can and answer what I can from reasonable posters.

This guy thinks I’m wikileaks for multi millionaires though.

Maja was a big mistake but running a football club is unlike any other business in the world. If they’d been in charge three or four years and made the mistake I could understand. Clubs histories are littered with players who should’ve worked out but didn’t. If we won the play off final we wouldn’t be seeing half of the crazy almost conspiracy theory level posts that we are getting on here

People are saying we are skint and desperate for investment but no serious businessmen would have put their hands in their own pockets bought the club and ran the finances to a point where it was promotion or bust in the first season. This is Stewart and Charlie not Del Boy and Rodney
 
I heard as far back as January from 2 players that if we didn’t go up we were “fucked” financially wise, all this call for investors and saying it’s only for the long term incase we go up I think is a load of bollocks tbh, we’ve not long ago listened to SD and CM on the latest podcast and say the finances are better than we thought they would be and they can keep whatever players we want as we can afford them, well it’s pretty clear that we obviously can’t as we are letting players go without even having a replacement ready, pretty obvious we need the high earners to be gone so the finances can’t be as great as they are making out! SD has came off Twitter as he knows what backlash he’ll get with Cattermole gone and potentially others to follow with only 1 in at the start of pre season training, how about SAFC getting ahead of the game and bringing players in before pre season training instead of rushing and panic buying! Seems to me we have no forward thinking plan and we’ll just go along and see where it takes us like last season
 
Hopefully something gets released soon, cash injection or no cash injection i feel we need to know.

Of course if its bad news they may not want to release it for it may hit further ticket sales but im not interested in that. Folk waiting to see what happens are of little interest to me but caring businessmen should be open in case folk are renewing on a false dawn.

If Campbell and co are not interested then fine, SD i believe would only deal with folk who have club at heart and who could make a difference.
