al_bro Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I noticed the blinds weren't up in the gym on Saturday. I guess it would be possible to watch the game for free from their with a gym pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a businessman and an openly hostile company offer you a shit deal... you wouldn’t even respond. The communication and approach needs to change.

Much Bigger Battle being fought behind the scenes me thinks . . . Both a bit of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdallah has sacked a monumental amount of players and staff since he’s taken over, he’s binned off some loyal local companies for next to no reason (Eden Creative, AC Tyres, coach companies) and fallen out with many others and yet it’s the FLG who are fucking hostile.

Is it just Simon Wood using the word “wankers” and something about Simon Brooke’s clothes or is there anything else? And I don’t think anyone has said, or even suggested, that the FLG are a model of professionalism and financial prowess. But happy to be proved wrong.

nzlatic Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Question on the hospitality that I think I know the answer to but want to check... can the club still sell the 11 boxes but have them serviced by a company other than the OEC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is though, that the management of The Quirky Catering Company are looking to provide 'Pies & Beer' to a football stadium for 2-3 hours on matchdays. Whilst the management of the OEC, under the guise of the FLG, are looking to raise £7m to buy a football stadium Hardly fair to compare them on their financial footing is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reads to me that the club gave up its rights for £3.8m of debt relief, therefore not 'surrendering for nothing' as it later goes on to say? 2. The letter suggests 'grants of millions of pounds to build the North Stand' however, wasn't it more like a £700k grant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think there are two sides to AL One who gets proper fees for players, and seemingly doesn’t want the club shafted by what he sees as unfair practice- which is at the very least understandable Then there is how his decisions have affected the football team, which I hate.

kowenicki Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think I suggested previously that the FLG needed to be very careful dealing with a certain someone... I hope the FLG haven't signed anything or paid any funds over to anyone yet. Obviously they will have taken decent legal advice before getting this far. Obviously...

Not sure.... Paul Whitehead has responded though.. 'we will publish my response to this letter than we sent last night. I'm afraid that this is a huge own goal from the club as there are so many inaccuracies. I'm checking with partners (FLG?) and will then update.' Suggests to me that this letter is already a few days old, clearly genuine, and that it's already been responded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 So basically Corney sold off the family silver in the last stages of his ownership, right? And this didn't come up in any "due diligence" process when AL bought the club, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
