| Quote: bullinenemyland "There is two ways to look at this.
Green has to date always been upfront with the fans in so much to give an honest (often too honest) update on where he and the club are. It is not his position to provide a detailed update every day when rumours circulate, nor should he. He is running a business and as such he will make a judgement on when he should and should not provide the details that quite frankly don't need to be in the public domain.
Nothing I have seen or heard in the last few weeks has left me fearing the worst or feeling impending doom.
On the other hand, we have all been through this before. I as well as others have stuck by the owners and trusted them to do the best by the club and supporters. I firmly believe this has always been their intentions but in most occasions a lack of experience in the game has left them badly informed and out of their depth. Is it the case of no smoke without fire???
I do think it was very naive of Green/the club to not pre-arrange a statement following the Fev game, it was always bound to kick off the rumour mill and therefore I think a lot of what has gone on since has been as a direct result.
I wouldn't believe a single word Lockwood says. The man is a media menace. Some of the stuff he comes up with, particularly in the local non-sports rag is unbelievable and how he gets away with spouting off his own views of the world is crazy. Same can be said for Ross at the T&A who has an obvious chip considering he doesn't get his own way with the club as he used to. League Express however is a different matter and that is more of a concern than any other media release.
In the end, worrying won't matter one jot. Might as well relax, sit back and wait for it all to come out in the wash. Only thing I can guarantee is that if there is still a club in existence come next February, I will be there with my season ticket ready to support whoever takes to the field.'"
There's a lot I agree with there.

| Bulls statement on Ferris department states that they will be looking to replace him ASAP. Hardly the actions of a club with one foot in the coffin. I'm going to stop worrying about it all now and get on with some work. Some people in the media appear to have an agenda with the club.
Edit: It does make me wonder what Robbie's role at the club is?

Edit
I really just wish they'd tacked on the bottom "Other rumours that have emerged this weekend about financial issues are totally unfounded". Then we could go back to not caring about Whitehaven away this weekend instead of wondering what the hell is going on.

Your post seemed to be suggesting that the Chairman didn't have the clubs best interest at heart so I thought you might like to step forward and give it a go yourself?
In fact, that could be said about anyone who has posted what a joke the club is in the past. Anyone willing to put their money where their mouth is?

On, re-reading what I posted I can see where this may have been misconstrued. A couple of inverted commas will help.
Quote: bullinenemyland "And, if the chairman WAS making a lot of coin from the club there would invariably be calls for them to spend more and buy more as they "really should have the best interests of the club", and not themselves, at heart.
'"
To be clear. If a chairman is seen to be making loads of cash from a club then the fans will demand that they put it all back in as they must be "bleeding the club dry". It is a no-win situation for the Chairman. So I do not see it as really being a "business" venture as there is not a lot to be gained for the chairman apart from publicity and column inches that make help them promote other business enterprises that they are involved in.

| Listened to BCB with Mick and he made a good attempt to explain things apart from a nuisance of a woman butting in trying to be funny stopping him talking. He should have told her to shut up and let him talk.
He confirmed that players have not been paid today.
Mick explained about green making sure with the tax man (July) that he is the first person to get any money back as the main creditor. This is a concern as it looks like he has set up a get out clause a few weeks ago. Ready for what?
If we fail again the fans may not have the stomach to keep going this time. To think we could lose all of those youngsters again. It isn't worth thinking about as it would be disastrous and possibly the final straw.

I'm no expert but that has nothing to do with the tax man.

| Is the Gledhill discussion on catch up anywhere.
He seems to have claimed the players were not paid today, has that been corroborated anywhere?

Nope, fully agree, things going downhill very quickly and unless a white knight is waiting in the wings, the end might come quickly as well. At least any point deductions don't materially affect our season this time round.

But at least Marc Green is enjoying himself in Ibiza eh?
