sorry did I trigger you with a random thought, sorry flower.

no part of my post was defending him either, just trying to make a little sense of it all as its a strange situation.

polite note, it really isn't worth getting that bent out of shape over

Johnson and Speakman working from the same hymn sheet?

So close that Johnson didn’t travel on the team bus to or from Bolton where we lost 0-6, another example of the work they were doing together to add to other thrashings at Portsmouth, Rotherham, Sheff Wed etc and the wonderful displays at home to Lincoln and in the FA Cup to Mansfield Town etc.etc.?

So close Johnson got sacked and a costly three week pantomime ensued with Dumb and Dumber put in charge of scintillating defeats to Doncaster and Cheltenham.

Aye, same hymn sheet eh? 🤔

You missed the best part of the night. The comedian - who was already going down like a lead balloon - told a joke to a woman and she immediately stood up and walked out 🤣🤣

Don’t think he can be blamed for last night.

The sound was atrocious I couldn’t tell you one anecdote from Defoe.

Spoke very briefly with Nick afterwards and he said Defoe has tried to get out of it all week, the questions were given to him and Defoe wouldn’t do Q&A.

Sounds like a right amateurish shambles all round and disgusting that people were charged £45 a ticket. Defoe will need the money mind now he’s retired as a multi millionaire. Farcical.

“Spoke with Nick afterwards”. FFS that’ll have been illuminating.🙄

A lot of people seem to want to have a pop at KLD especially of the share %
I was one of them when it first broke as well until I looked at it a bit closer.
We'll never know exactly how much he paid for his shares, we also don't know how much the club is losing on a monthly business.
What we do know is Donald wants a certain prices for his shares and will be happy to sell them all at this price however KLD thinks this is too high for a league 1 club.
This is why I think buying only 41% is quite an astute business move, he becomes the highest individual share holder becomes chairman with control over the running of the club, the losses however don't fall entirely on to him.
As I've said we have no idea how much the club is losing but if we said it was losing 1M a month KLD would have to fund £410,000 and the rest would have to shell out the other £590,000 over a year that would cost the muppets around £7M in a year, that means KLD would have saved £7M from financing it himself for a full season if we get promoted KLD buys the remaining shares at the price that was originally agreed.
However Donaldand co would be £ 7M short compared to if they had sold last season at a fairer price. The longer we are in league one the more money Donald loses.
KLD had had his pants down yet Donald thinks he's Billy big bollocks by hanging on to a % to cash in when we get promoted yet he will have list millions in the process.
I have stated that I have no idea how much the club is losing I just use £1M a month as a ball park figure

Do you think it will really change financially if KLD buys Donald out?I personally dont!If kld had a decent financially funded plan to get us into the premiership he would have bought out Donald shares and got the ball rolling............ his pissing about points to his motivation and penny pinching in my book!The money Donald wants is peanuts in the scheme of things if KLD's plans are to get us back to the premiership.

I personally think that KLD will be at Monaco if five years time and we will be run on an austerity model for the foreseeable future where the football is guided by the business plan and not the other way round.

Sounds said like the only definite thing was that punters were badly ripped off and the whole thing was a shambles with Defoe not wanting to be there, refusing to do a Q&A (I wonder why, eh?🤔🙄), the sound system was shite and Nick Barnes didn’t ask his usual penetrating journalistic questions to unravel the truth about why Saint Jermaine has left us up shit creek with only a Ross Stewart striking paddle!

to be fair the club carry the can for planning,. the whole thing is typically shambolic and a real shame that he ends his career with us on a flat note.

What a crap show this season is.
