And you forgot to mention the real reason that Holden isn't playing.....

Stewy was never re-injured v villa

 

He failed a drugs test for mkat and served his ban In secret.

 

Injury for USA was real though.

 

I got told today the club are that skint they switch the hand dryers off in fanzone.

So go on then explain the hotel purchase to me then...

Hotel was a joint venture with De Vere's who were looking to get shot as part of a large disposal of hotels from their portfolio. So board had the choice to buy or wait for a buyer. Alternative option was to have a closed hotel attached to the ground - can't see that being in anybody's interests.

 

Can't see anything controversial in this but I'm sure conspiracy theorists will see an angle I have missed. 

I thought the club owned the hotel (as in the physical structure) and bought out De'vere's contract to run the place in conjuction with Heathcotes

Don't know Frank,

 

Tthe hotel business was a joint venture with De Vere's, but that's not to say the club didn't own the physical structure and rent it out to the joint venture co for tax purposes. Either way De Vere's wanted out and made many disposals around the same time - I don't think our board had much choice as I doubt potential buyers/partners were queuing up.

 

Bit boring, but the truth as I see it.

So ...did the board use funds that could of been made available to the manager?

Bobcat, It's up to ED what he spens his money on. I don't think having a mothballed hotel is in anyones interests. He's more chance of getting his cash back than sanctioning the hotel than more player wages to support the sports car dealers of Cheshire.

 

In any case our budget isn't the problem - see Burnley and Blackpool.

Plus although I'm not certain...

 

I'm pretty sure a breifcase hasn't been handed over with 20 million pounds in it.

Too true Gonzo I think that's just a number plucked out of the air by some GMR phone in crackpot.

I found it more comical they were calling for Jimmy Phillips to be given the managers job.

Aren't the football side and the hotel two separate unconnected businesses?

 

They just happen to be owned by the same person?

ED donates money to Manc Uni and has a library named after him or something. That could be spent on players too. Doesn't he also own horses?

I heard Eddie recently purchased 15 diamond encrusted tea cosies.

 

Surely that cash should have gone towards persuading feeney to go AWOL on millwall

He's getting 3674678% APR on the money we owe him. That's why Quick Quid got involved as they fancied lending us £130m too.

What about his weekly milk and paper bills, surley he should cut these back and give the money he saves to Doogie

Add these and similar savings together and we're up to small fortune

Why doesn't Eddie Davies get off his arse and get a little job at B&Q like other pensioners?

Turn the hotel into a skunk tomato plantation.

 

Edit: Nearly let the cat out the bag then, loose lips an' all that.
