| Quote Dnats Ynnepeerht="Dnats Ynnepeerht"I think your both mixing up business acumen and expertise with unprofessional. He's unprofessional in his attitude, the way he conducts himself and the way he portrays your club.'"
better highly competent and unprofessional than professional and incompetent, eh?
Quote Dnats Ynnepeerht="Robbo4"He has gambled the future of the club IMO. You will seriously need to increase revenue to even start clawing back the money you owe. Look at how long its taken FC to start reducing its debt and we are a much bigger club with much bigger revenue streams. Thats not a dig by the way you are clearly the better team at the moment but we are talking about the actual club. You only have to look at the likes of Saints who get bigger crowds then you and receive loads of prize money yet continue to make a loss to see how difficult it is going to be for Rovers to even break even in the near future. IMO (I may well be wrong) but he has been letting his heart rule his head in a desire to get Rovers as competitive as possible as quickly as possible. Maybe it will pay off in the long run but I cant really see how at the moment.'"
He had to gamble though really - a conservative approach wouldn't have got to us to where we are. Conservatism can be a gamble in itself - that is the underlying thrust of a lot of posts on your board, IMO. Now the challenge is to make a go of where we are. As you say, even Saints don't make money - RL is not a place to build a fortune, I fear. Saints recently turned debt into shares, such is the commitment of their backers. Rovers board has a good record in that respect too, but new revenue will have to be found sooner of later - SL is the place to find it at least. Failing that, maybe we can just trundle along as an East Yorkshire version of Wakefield - I'd have taken that 4 or even 3 years ago. Its possible that Rovers aren't viable as a SL team long-term, but with crowds of 8K, I think we should be able to get by. The headline loss figure is only part of the story of the accounts - how much of that is down to one off payments for capital investment (floodlights, east stand extension etc)? While losses were steady, turnover was up, so the business (as well as the debt), is growing. |

Thanks, but there really is no need to quote me from another forum just to prove once again that you can log in to it.
I've said as much, if not more on this very thread.

that rules out your board then, (no pun intended) |

With far greater financial outgoings, (your rent alone dwarfs Hull krs). |

| Quote Gavin Miller - Legend="Gavin Miller - Legend"The last section is equally as interesting.
'Knowledgeable fans are not fooled nor should they be by promises of big names around the corner.This competition should be about here and now and not next season.
Anything less is selling those supporters short in my view'.'"
From the man who declared in the Yorkshire Post that two "top drawer" signings would be announced "between now and the end of the year" when Rovers had lost 5 of their last 7. And coincidentally around the time of trying to mask a 23% increase in ticket prices with a half-baked and ill-communicated membership scheme. Excuse me whilst I choke on the stench of hypocrisy. |
