He should have had a handle on that before the transaction to buy the club took place. Its his fault he should of insisted on seeing the lot before he purchased the club. He fucked himself over by not understanding this fully instead he just went ahead thinking he was playing football manager and that it would be alright. If he didn't understand it himself he should have got professional people in to look at it thoroughly.

You both raise some valid points,what’s undeniable is the gross mismanagement of the club since he took over and the role Blitz has played in our demise.

Enjoyed listening to that and good to hear from someone without an axe to grind whose worked with the current owners give an honest assessment.He’s definitely not the only one with said views.Props to Andy and Matt,you’re getting good at this!

I’m pretty sure our budget, such as it was,was comparable to a lower half national league side anyway,hardly a ringing endorsement of a promotion push!

Hamer, couldnt even make it in to our bobbins team. Emmerson ridiculous, to even mention him, he's done absolutely nothing. Edmondson can't cut it in the pub league. And tarky is my 1 Every ten years. Stop fishing please

Over the years there’s been several players the club has cashed in on whom have never even got to first team level but have made the club money.A 12 yr old was sold to Liverpool just a couple of months ago which has paid for running the new development group.Emmerson has just been selected for England u17,hardly doing nothing considering he’s 16 and tipped for a bright future.A decent sell on could potentially be a God send for a club in our position.

Zak Emmerson called to play for England U17,s.

my paternal Grandad would look a world beater in that defence and he died in 1997 having been impeded by a stroke for about 6 years previous 

Fair point!

Dean Holden played right back or occasionally centre half,would look like a world beater compared to our current lot!

Comment withdrawn with apologies...

 

Yeah, I always liked Gardner.

He’d walk into our current midfield that’s for sure!

It's a bit of a romantic view thinking that he's still anything like the player he was in his first stint with us, unfortunately...

 

 

Think he’s referring to Gardner.

Isn’t that what an ex players post is about?! Posting about when ex players score and what happens with them during their career. 

Noticed Vera scored this weekend,just to let you know!

We used to get an update on edmondson every week. At least rowe has talent.

I guarantee that Edmondson will have a better career than Rowe,poor example.

I presume we’ll get a post on here every time Rowe scores.He wasn’t a starter for us,was a high earner and would’ve left for nothing in 4 months time.We’ve now got Hillsner,Adams and the recently vanished but promising Barnes in with the cash raised,no brainer really!

Don’t know the bloke from Adam but my old man has had a place in a hospitality box since they were available.Before the Blackpool game,the price had gone up by £700 per person for next season (we still expected to be in league one at this stage),it was determined that food had become more expensive.No communication since the Blackpool game,Jenny had been helpful but Mr Brooke has been a waste of space.Several other people in the hospitality section wonder what the hell is going on.

Eardley played on trial for Port Vale last night.

Could have been yes,I seem to remember another nippy black guy though,think his name was Littlejohn and he crippled Big Les!!

Ticket sold,cheers.Mods why couldnt I post this topic under my username,had to use my facebook?No biggy,just wondered.

Have got a ticket to sell for the game tomorrow.Main Stand Upper,contact me on f you want it.Will be at BP from 2pm onwards,first person to respond can have it.Cheers,Graham.
