wonder which would cost him more

 

 

the tax he would have to pay, or the losses of his football business?

 

It doesn't really matter eithr way, as he's not going to do it. Perhaps he doesn't know much about how to run a club and would rather not. Why do you think he would be so good at it?

I dread to think what this board will be like once the financial results are announced in about 6 weeks

 

 

They aren't going to make glorious reading, we already know that. I'm wondering how much our debt will have increased by in the last 12 months, I'm going to have a guess at a nice round £10M

Think I'll book the morning off to just sit there and scan the internet for the inevitable meltdown

I don't neccessarily, I just wonder if PG is any good at the job and if ED couldn't do it better (saving himself £500,000 per annum in the bargain)

 

I think I'd like my finger on the pulse if my hard-won fortune was disappearing

 

 

Just my thought

Not another financial report, 130 million debt becomes 160 then and the club blame it on the last regime. I can't help but be pessimistic about our finances.

 

At the end of the day, I don't really care if the next report says that we're £50M in debt or £200M in debt. Our dent has been spiralling out of control for years, so I fully expect it to have increased again. Whilst most of the debt is underwritten by ED, and apparently he's never going to call it in (hmmmm) then we don't really know the overall situation, so there is really not much point in worrying about it

BWFC is not the only sporting area that ED spends money on, but is probably the less rewarding in terms of satisfaction (at least over recent years). There is no way he could contemplate full-on direct involvement.

Maybe uncle Eddie will keep going til we turn a profit, like a compulsive gambler who doesn't know when to stop.

 

 

......he'll have to be expecting to live to be 150 if he's waiting for that (and even there I'm being a tad optomistic)

I'm dissapointed that you've not used the Twixonomix method

 

No Twix required. These are phantom Twixes.

 

However, here's a sneak preview of next season's budget:

We can't even afford Twix or its cheaper Aldi substitute Jive.

he's already had the bulk of his "investment" back in interest payments.

I'm going to admit it, in my youth, well almost youth, I was moved to put help someone put spraycan to cloth :blush:

 

It was in the aftermath of the 'Frandsen Sold, Todd Quits' event, I procured the material, no spunk stained sheets, proper cut to measure cloth from Robin Hood Fabrics opposite The Little John (is the name significance of those coincidental btw?)

 

Anyway, I felt a right berk when it was reluctantly unveiled and soon, like a fair-weather rat deserted the cause!.

 

It said 'Sack the Board' btw. :give_rose:
