January 11, 201610 yr But you said you could do a better job than Trevor Birch, so what would you do? I'd hire Paul McKenna for a day, get him to hypnotise every PL executive, and convince them that they need to sign Medo, no matter what the cost. Then start the auction.
January 11, 201610 yr Or maybe let people know that it isnt the fat egyptian feller. Some clubs might still think we sign aged and "past it" players still.
January 11, 201610 yr But you said you could do a better job than Trevor Birch, so what would you do? What a daft question.
January 11, 201610 yr I'd hire Paul McKenna for a day, get him to hypnotise every PL executive, and convince them that they need to sign Medo, no matter what the cost. Then start the auction. Think someone has already done that to McLaren or Ashley if they are paying £12 million for jonjo bleeding shelvey
January 11, 201610 yr Think someone has already done that to McLaren or Ashley if they are paying £12 million for jonjo bleeding shelvey And 10 million for Afobe.
January 11, 201610 yr And 10 million for Afobe. His performance at Brighton away may have been one of the worst I have ever seen. Admittedly he isn't a right winger but he so far out of his depth it was ridiculous. Now he's been sold for £10m.
January 11, 201610 yr Lewis Grabban back to Bournemouth 7 million Slightly expensive Edited January 11, 201610 yr by Bigtoe
January 11, 201610 yr Failed ffp and now chucking the millions about. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3375579/Bournemouth-manager-Eddie-Howe-hits-Financial-Fair-Play-club-facing-fine-structure-spell-end-underdogs.html
January 11, 201610 yr Don't really understand the criticism of Trevor Birch and co. He's been bought in to sort out a big fuck off mess and skipper a sinking ship. His remit was to find help find investment and deal with situation if we couldn't. He's doing just that. We need to sell players and assets to keep the club becoming insolvent. We run at a million loss per month and can no longer afford to pay staff or players. A fire sale is the only way to stop us going under and pay for voluntary admin. Look at Birch's track record and the clubs he's worked with and it may give some indication as to why it was him bought in. Since he's come,he's uncovered a complicated mess in our accounts and has taken them to be analysed by forensic accountants to try and sort the mess out. This is fact not conjecture. There is not one single investor that has offered to buy the club lock stock and barrel. Not one. So what else do you want him to do? He's already skipped a months pay for players. Then he skipped a months pay for staff. Then he used PFA money to pay the players to stop em walking. Now he's selling players and offices to pay them again. We have no money so need to sell things so we have money.

January 11, 201610 yr I'd go as far to say birch is doing a great job. Raising funds and working hard contacting investors. I understand he takes on tricky situations but I bet ours is more complicated (always the Bolton way) Keep up the good work TB

January 11, 201610 yr No-one will buy the club lock, stock and barrel without a solid set of warranties no matter how much they have. Just don't understand the reason why 48 hours is the deadline for admin. Why now? How many adjournments did Northampton get on their winding up petition from the revenue?
January 11, 201610 yr I guess we are building up HMRC debt faster than Northampton And as on paper HMRC are such a small creditor in % terms they have a duty to the public to force the issue and get that money in
January 11, 201610 yr I think Chelsea was a mess.Yes, I don't think a Russian billionaire is sorting this one out malc
January 11, 201610 yr If you want to be thankful for small mercies we had Peter Ridsdale in Birch role trying to create a situation where he would buy football club for a quid, with his preferred bidder owning ground.
