Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "I have not run a business, I guess you did once but no more. I bow to your greater business acumen and that a loss of 20% of your customer base and 30% of sales is obviously the way to go. The big difference is that I am not wanting to be the voice of the supporters especially when that voice is so obviously compromised, so much so you are even starting to use the same phrases.
I did not suggest using any extra money other than that gained from the offloading of a large portion of the squad or do you not agree with this and would you prefer to use this elsewhere?
I regret I am not trolling but if my suggestions offend your sensitive side wherever that may be based so be it.'"
I had a business once and it was very successful until I got carried away. I purchased myself a Range Rover when the business could only afford a Mondeo.
We ran out of money and in the end I sold out to my partner. He didn’t have a Range Rover, he didn’t even have. Mondeo.
He’s now retired and ironically does have a Range Rover.
I’m not bitter, he was right I was wrong, but I did learn. In 20 years I’ve never bought anything I couldn’t afford or borrowed what I couldn’t comfortably pay back.
The club is run exactly the same and rightly so. At the moment we are a second hand Mondeo club but if we can stay in SL within budget one day we will be the Range Rover club.
Hope that helps.
