News? What news? That it's business as usual?
But it isn't - is it?

Potential consortium coming in - more news soon.
As far as on the field goes it's business as usual - not seen owt that's going to detract from that |

to be fair the CEO never said it was business as usual, he just asked fans to turn up as usual - that is very very different. The press release just got a bit carried away and reached for a well-worn cliche.
To imply that it is as business as usual from an overall club perspective is laughable, a bit like saying that the manager has the chairmans support...next thing you know he has been fired...!
Anyway, "news" of a consortium is interesting, although often consortiums don't work as well as an individual with a single mind and focus...

That depends upon how many of them actually believe they know how to run a sports club successfully ?
And how you actually term ' success ' ?

The headline said "Business As Usual". If it were from a paper I'd agree with you, but it's a club press release.
I'm sure that certain people are hoping that it will be business as usual - that they continue to enjoy a place on the board whilst other investors come in and finance it.
Isn't it time that shares are put up for grabs at very favourable terms to those who can guarantee an investment and that those who can no longer contribute go back to being passionate fans?

I accept its a club press release and the CEO should take responsibility for ALL the wording. But the direct words from his mouth seem much more reasonable to me.
Not that any of this discussion makes a jot of difference to what is ACTUALLY going on.

My own view on this is that there is (or should be) more to being on a board than making a large pile of your own money into a small one. For example, what else can they bring to the table - innovation, vision, contacts, strategy, business acumen, financial expertise - lots of things. Whether the current board members do any of those things is not quite the point. Simply turning up with a wad of cash is only going to last so long if you don't know what to do with it.. |

If that's true, now THAT will be good news.
Your share still up for grabs on the same terms? |
