Good logic We've given the owner our money. He's used it to give incapable players - his clients - contracts, which is why we are where we are in the league. I don't believe for a second he'd put the money where it's supposed to go if the boycott was called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Well they have reduced by £1.2 million from the previous year. Do you know if any of the £3.1 million is made up of Directors loans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Seems to be a lot of people in this thread that are still jumping to AL's defence given the latest developments. That said, even Brady and Hindley had defence barristers. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although realistically you could leave it at 0 days for most of the time and you'd be up to date. Would you like that in Days, Hours, Minutes or Seconds?

nzlatic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm trying to work out if some of the posts on this thread are trolling for giggles or genuinely apportioning some of the blame for this latest embargo on the fans. If the first one, then fair dos, if that's what gets people off then good luck to them. If it's the second one then I can't believe there are still people who think this way. The actions of the club are the reasons for the boycott. The actions of the club are the reasons attendances nose dived pre boycott. The club have shown very little desire to change or address the issues and try and get the fans back onside. Which sends the message that they aren't bothered about attendances. And if they aren't bothered about attendances, then they don't need the money, so they should be able to pay the bills with attendances as they are. Therefore there is every right for fans to complain about this latest development even if they are withholding their money from the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Even if we assume the thinking of the club is that we're out of the window so the embargo doesn't matter, not paying other clubs what we owe them can only damage our reputation. It's in tatters anyway, and could be the difference in beating other clubs to a players signature in future. There are just no positives or excuses for this no matter how hard some people are trying to find them. Just another example to add to the very long list of poor management.

If you starving the club of money as many people are advocating then you have to accept that there may be uncomfortable consequences arising from that.
