Quote: Agent XIII "Why, I doubt we need to sell anymore players. The original so called financial cliff amounted to £400,000. The transfers we have made excluding Smith amount to £150,000 leaving £250,000. If we then take the guesstimated salaries and benefits the monthly savings are another £50,000. To this you would hope that the board have been able to generate some additional income or what are they doing. The debt must now be almost clear but because we have stopped receiving further updates after the initial apocliptic statement who knows or is it they don't want us to know.
I know accountants are famous for having short arms and long pockets but he and the board must start to loosen the purse strings or we currently don't have a team for Boxing Day.
The alternative of course is that because he made the initial declaration that he lets us know where we are, after all we are the ones currently expected to fund the club.'"
At last some common sense!!!
I concur with your maths (that doesn't make either of us right by the way) and assuming the other unknown issues that have cropped up and needed to be addressed havent been monumental (but lets remember who was running the show - so it is possible) I think the lions share of the finances should be sorted.
If this is the case i think the club should be putting out tentative signs that the garden is now - if not rosy - at least weeded.
This would be good PR and (unfortunately for you) show the prudent policy of MC?DC has worked well, it would also make us look a more atractive option for investment and players and it would give the supporters a timely boost before xmas and perhaps give us a chance to hit the 3k ST figure or even exceed it.
A player signing now would be a good sign of our intentions.
