Topics: 100I would put the club up for sale for a £1 and gift the ground back to the club as part of the sale then walk away feeling so ashamed for being so bloody incompetent at running such a valued local asset with big historical significance to the local area, in such a ridiculous un business like way and creating this awful situation for the population of this town and local area. I would also apologise to the fans and people of this area for how far I had dragged THEIR CLUB down.

You would Ironawe, but I doubt whether your wife or family would let you do it, it’s oh so easy to spend or give away other peoples money.

Difference is I’m an Iron fan, the current owner isn’t.

Still dodges the fact that this was avoidable !
The stupid recruitment that has wasted so much money proved that.

We can’t go into liquidation when we have just won a Trophy.
So we’ve found the level at which we might be able to win a few games.

I agree 100%, SF – but cannot easily forget that a significant number of fans on these pages were, even in those profligate days, claiming a ‘lack of ambition’ and demanding that even more be spent!
(I cannot stand ‘magic money trees’ – there ain’t no such animal.)
I think it was AWG who has written more than once that ‘spending other people’s money is easy.’ On that point, I must heartily agree.
My problem is extravagant claims which never became reality and budget management which was feeble at best.3 users thanked author for this post.
It wasn’t spending someone else’s money though. It was the clubs and I do believe in a previous statement from Mr Ego he mentioned “we gambled” !!
Thing is ” WE ” did not. The adopted recruitment protocol was the gamble and remained so to present day. Go back to the sales of Wallace, Holmes, Townsend – estimated revenue was £2.3 million. And yet what young talent was brought in to keep the production delivering a seasonal ‘golden egg’.
