Hopefully just after lunch this afternoon, despite the advancing years i’m still pretty accurate providing i’m sat down. Oop’s misread…… you meant shot….apologies.

Double edged sword really, as Cox slags off the players publicly, Swann takes contract extensions off the table early for players who have not signed yet. The players, particularly of late, have shown poor professionalism in their attitude and desire to give their all for the club on the pitch. All these points put together are the reason we are once again staring down the relegation barrel after the team and management had done so well to turn things around since Xmas. It’s a bloody mess but it’s entirely of the club and management’s own making with the players pathetic response compounding the issue. The modern professional player and the old fashioned professional player, never has the gap been so wide, particularly in terms of attitude.

Good points raised all round however I would say to les that yes, while fans were calling for money to be spent to help achieve success, they were not not calling for the business to be mismanaged in the process to rack up such massive losses. The facts are that whatever fans called for ( and plenty of fans say Swann doesn’t listen to them anyway ) Swann and his business model has put the club in this current position. As I said in earlier posts I don’t see the transfer of debt to Coolsilk is such a massive change from him being able to sell of the ground and land to clear HIS self inflicted debts surrounding the club before he did transfer the debt. He has been the owner lock stock and barrel since he arrived, what bothers me is the position he has put us in. Some businessman eh!!!

The more I see of Lillis the more I think he was a care home resident not a worker, what a bloody farce we are.

And if Hurst pulls off this minor miracle then Swann is going to look a proper silly beggar for sacking him last year.
What do you mean ” going ” to look a proper silly beggar? Cap has already fitted a long time ago.

Yep poor professionals poorly led by a chairman who doesn’t understand football or footballers.

Seen enough clubs who don’t own their ground end up in dire straits, and we will shortly be in that camp ! Even more dire straights than we already are !
Have you heard this from Mark Knopfler 🤔

I think we have witnessed on a much bigger scale then Awaywego has quoted in the last week just how many morals are left in the game. Yes it’s wrong but as one famous capitalist supporter on here would tell you, ” it’s entirely predictable “.

We were talking awhile back about Swann owning the entire club so nothing really changes, he could have sold up and moved on before this transfer of debt surely. His business model for the club has caused this debt and the transfer to Coolsilk of this debt is just a way of moving figures around, it could lead to the property side of his business as Cliff said being able to raise more funding for the long awaited re-development programme. Either way unless we can raise a stupid amount of cash between us all which I personally can’t see, then we are just stuck with this but hey we have been on the outside looking in on our beloved club for a long time now in more ways then one. Yes it may be worrying but we can quote other clubs where it appears to be working and we just need to cross our fingers and keep believing, hand wringing and shouting ” Swann out ” every five minutes won’t change a thing.

Socialism vs Capitalism. Who’d have thought eh?
Just awaiting BPG to come on and say having fan majority ownership as in the case of some clubs in Germany is a Marxist threat.

So pleased this crap ” greed fest ” was nipped in the bud early by the game and in particular the fans all standing together and saying ” NO “. However the teams in the Prem should think about their own actions when it comes to greed and power, a stat from the excellent Brian Reade in the Mirror today reads that from a current TV deal of £8.65 billion for football, the Premier League voted to keep 93% of that deal for themselves. Hardly fair, democratic and totally selfish when only such a small amount left is distributed down the lower orders of football. The game needs better governance and fairer disribution of funds all the way down the chain if we are ever going to let clubs thrive and keep a strong backbone to our national game. The game never has or will start and end with the Premier League and its time they started to respond to that.

I think with the Brexit thing you might be mixing him up with me Alcazar.
To be strictly accurate I didn’t say everyone that voted Brexit was racist.
I said that everyone who is racist voted Brexit. An important distinction.
You should know by now MK alcy doesn’t do distinction, just propaganda.

I will keep banging on about foreign owners Ferrite because they have brought the franchise mentality into our game bigtime. Wonder how many times the no relegation no promotion model has been floated by these owners to the Premier league over recent times?, indeed the late Phil Gartside wanted it applied when he was Bolton chairman back in the day. Take a look at what happened financially to Bolton and you can see why, being ring fenced by the Premier league’s wealth would have been right up the mismanagement street of his club. These foreign owners see promotion and relegation as a threat to future profits, whether their clubs have a poor season or not, no relegation means poorly run clubs get guaranteed money season after season. Without promotion or relegation the game is dead, where is the ambition, the desire to get better, to push a club on to improve? What about the fans?, yeah funny that, fans who were the reason our national game took off in the first place. Plus isn’t the magic of a European night against the likes of Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus etc all about the thrill of achieving a top four finish, in the hope you draw them in next season’s competition, not playing them twice a year regular as clockwork season after season, how is that special. This wants strangling at birth, it’s maybe posturing anyway to get more power in the current set up but either way either kick it into touch or fuck them all off. No mercy, the national structure of our game and it’s traditions are more under threat then ever with this greedy self indulgent bullshit.
