If you study the wins ratio from Xmas till his departing it would suggest we never really competed.

so Slade till June
if there was a new investor - what pay off do you think that would involve - not a lot
And if Malaka has real news, and not trying to Thai us in knots -then a 50k pay off would not be the make or break of the deal
In fact they may be happier having somebody in now to steady the ship
Click to expand...
Why the "Thai"? Do you have some info on the potential buyers?

I don't believe those numbers in the accounts come close to the salaries of the team, a few coaches and backroom staff - we must be paying a big chunk somewhere else in "salaries" . Otherwise, as you say, it doesn't add up. The club breaks even; even after paying £x for consultancy is my guess.
Click to expand...

My thoughts exactly. The staff costs number in the accounts includes money being paid out to SISU and directors. Yes I know the accounts are audited but having worked as an auditor I know that many companies break the rules without penalty.

He's no proof but he knows how it works. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Repeat it a few times and it's a new "fact".

The sadness is due to the fact that any appointment, good or bad means that it is less likely Sisu will go.With regard to Russel Slade, he has always seemed like a good chap. Liked his comments about fans having the right to protest after our game at Charlton. However I think he is on to a hiding to nothing here and any appointment is simply papering over the cracks.

I don't care if he's the greatest accountant on earth. The accounts say what they say. There is zero proof they have been tampered with or doctored in any way. Just ammo for the conspiracy theorists, I suppose.

SISU weren't off anyway, so this is a GOOD thing. No need to be sad or negative. Surely, you want what is best for your football club?

Erm, yes.

Still, you can still keep saying "your sisu" and petty shit because people are questioning something that somebody has made up.

I agree, I think it's a decent appointment, I also think you will be one of, if not the first
To jump on his back when it inevitably goes wrong, the problems at this club run much
Deeper than the manager.
