The Way Forward?!?

Is this the scenario for the next nine months?

1) No money for wages and cost of increasing ground capacity.

2) Take out PFA loan.

3) Sell a player in January.

4) Repay PFA loan.

5) Season ticket sales in April fund wages till June.

6) Money runs out.

7) Take out another PFA loan - embargo in place.

8) Repay PFA loan in August with sponsorship income.

9) Struggle starts again with no cohesive or strategic plan to take the club forward.

Well done for getting to number 8

Yup, that's about it.

What a pity we don't have a wealthy, astute businessman who genuinely loves the club, waiting in the wings with the resources and the ideas to take us forward and even build a new stadium for us.

But, of course, we don't have anyone like that because if we had, the club would have welcomed him with open arms, wouldn't they?

cashman · 06-12-2010, 21:57

Its certainly the probable scenario, wi clowns ya always get a circus.

Wynonie Harris · 06-12-2010, 21:58

The really frustrating thing is, it doesn't have to be this way.

I'd stay off the drink if thats the sort of fantasies it conjures up

No it doesn't but some people STILL don't see the light of day!

Bet DON is saying "Damn - this windmill is very bright - I should make him a director!"

Did we not have an unexepted windfall from the Newcastle Cup game that was not in the budgets at the start of the season?

Wynonie Harris · 07-12-2010, 08:33

Let's be honest about this - a lot of Windmill's forecasts may be speculative, but he's got the general gist of things right - making do and mend, lurching from crisis to crisis, living hand to mouth. And yet there is an alternative staring us right in the face.

Until that alternative becomes a reality, this club has a very bleak future indeed and all the "thinking positive" attitudes in the world aren't going to change that.

Yes Google Page Ranking we did, and if my memory serves me right wasn't that reported as going to JC in the transfer window? Somehow I don't think it will, afterall we have been told to. Incrrasr ground capacity, something the club were obviously unaware of, untill very recently :-(

We really should learn not to believe everything the club says lol.

Scenario update for Stanley.

1) No money

2) HMRC not paid since October

3) Extra 500 spectator capacity will not happen this year.

4) Knight on white horse comes to the rescue in January in the form of the FL with a generous "parachute payment."

5) February - money has run out - again!

In which case nobody should be concerned as long as they remain in the football league and the said league keep bending the rules
