    Let me know where you are and I'll call the police. I assume someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read this stuff against your will.

    Yep. There's a generally accepted list of people who you pay first - staff and taxman are high up on the list. The former can wreck a business through lack of motivation the second can close you down. You could also add football debts as transfer embargoes kick in. Meanwhile spending £6m on your ground but crying pauper status shortens people's patience when chasing debts, so you shouldn't moan when they dob you in.

    I can't really give a suggestion without speculating, which wouldn't be based on facts, so it's better to leave that one.

    Tax bills don't just "crop up". How naive do you have to be to claim that a completely foreseeable payment "crops up". As for clauming people are having a go at nnn, that's just you putting a spin on comments without any facts to back it up.

    I'd agree with that. He's basically offering to write off past year losses (which should be written off anyway as the debt hasn't built any improved performance) and then sell for £2.5m something he/his partners paid £1 for and have managed to halve the number of paying customers. He'd retain all assets and in doing so would limit any scope for progress. We'd be in the same situation Stockport were with Kennedy.

    Not sure why you're obsessed with me then. You won't find anything from me like that.

    To be fair the land wasn't the club's, although TTA did use the buy-back clause which only the club had access to, but switched the purchase into Brassbank. The receipts for the medical facility, hospital parking, housebuilding etc could well have given Brassbank a decent return, but it's an unknown.

    Unlike you ranting at anyone you don't agree with like a petulant 10 year old who's learned a few swear words. I've sent my thoughts to nnn and I don't know why you think people are not entitled to express views and debate on a forum without attending a few meetings. You seem to be a bit obsessed about it.

    It's controlled by someone with a conflict of interest with the club. It also presents a reputational risk to the club, so it would be sensible for the club (therefore the trust board member) to have opportunity to review its finances.

    Does it? Or is it just the unknown rental income? And how much profit does OEC take?
  11. real
    Almost every response has queried the finances in the conversation. It's flattering that you think mine is most worthy of attention but I think it's best to let nnn lead on this.

    If the £200-300K includes ticket sales then it's overstated. Those sales are not a result of the new investment, they are simply diverted from other stands. This sort of statement needs to be clear and precise if it's going to be made, otherwise it could mean pretty much anything.

    It was the football club board meetings I was querying, and I assumed that Simon Brooke should be attending and asking why they are not happening if they aren't. I have also looked for Trust meeting minutes but can't see any on the site since the June AGM
  14. real
    Isn't Simon Brooke on the board? He's a director of the club, so he should be. Unless I've misunderstood what you mean?

    Wind chill? Reported temperature is based on sheltered from both sun and wind. I haven't checked wind speed or prevailing direction though.

    Why would the police or an MP be interested in how the main shareholder of a business distributes revenue? Stop :censored: stirring and trying to turn the questions into something else?
  17. real
    Why is your "point" about me, not the issue? You are just demonstrating your petty obsession yet again. Grow up.

    Black/white Lawful/illegal Are you suggesting the trust director is playing a grey game with his legal responsibility? You do know that directors can be prosecuted and barred don't you. You need to find an easier target. You're not even close here
  19. real
    And if the trust are not applying the theory then the line about them having knowledge via the shares and the seat are pointless and has no relevance. In effect, the trust directors post is a sham. If you are alleging that he's not performing his Lawful duty, I think you should say so. Personally I hope he is
  20. real
    This would be a breach of company law AFAIK. Each director is liable for the actions of the company unless they can defer to another directors to specific responsibility eg finance director for accounting issues. The seat on the board entitles the director to full access. The director should not accept any limitations on this.

    Does it really matter to you that I made the suggestion?

    Whilst the LMA is concerned with sackings, the culture of managers to leapfrog through jobs has an impact on loyalty shown by clubs. It's a 2 way thing.

    Was the job finance business partner to senior management?

    On top of that dangling the carrot of a seat on the club board after serving as trust rep on the club board risks the post being compromised. It's something that the trust should be guarding against. It's already happened once and there's nothing in place to stop it happening again.

    Where has anyone suggested going bust is a good idea? What is currently happening is not working. Crowds down, a very small budget, 7 day income doesn't go to the club, but debt resulting from 7 day facilities does. Asset stripping is more discreet than it used to be, but if you want to wait until there's cast iron proof we'll be in the same boat as BHS employees. And there won't be any government led investigation.
