The Boddy conspiracies out already I see!

Hardly conspiracies if we don’t find a home for the better players we can’t sign anyone and probably will run out of cash in the close season

Boddy is untrustworthy and has little regard for the fans or the club other than a means for him to earn money

answer this - do clubs go to media agents to try and sell your best players abs generate interest?

Do we need to sell players to avoid taking more high interest loans to actually maintain a positive cash flow in tbe summer?

The answer to both questions is probably yes. But as ive said before, its the same for the majority of clubs.

Its just hilarious that any time one of our players are linked with a move away, your Boddy alarm goes off when the actual likelihood is that our players are playing well and actually attracting interest from other clubs.

Its actually laughable that the process of player sales - player plays well, other clubs notice and put in offers, triggers you into thinking its some sort of hawking of our crown jewels.

Here's an idea...isn't there an evening with Dave this week? Why don't you go and call him out on it if you're that sure that's what's happening? I'm sure your super-fan status would rachet up a few notches as you're looking out for the club.

Another question....sometimes others on here post on here about how great we're doing and the job MR and his team are doing and such posts get lots of likes. You never like anything like that...why not?

The club have no ability to transact with no sake

wages are over £1 million a month and the cash balance prior to the EFL loan barely covers 5 weeks. The season tickets will barely cover the rest of the summer with zero revenue.

So to have a transfer fund someone needs selling and quickly

Dave Boddy seems such a weird choice to hold such a vendetta against.

Though I suppose with Robins doing so well he needs a new target.

You seem very angry. No doubt it’s my fault this thread was started as well

Dave Johnson has nothing in common with me and I blame the council and have consistently for the absolute cluster fuck financially we are in

Not angry in the slightest, not sure why you would say that. Is it because you don't like it that I mention Maton comes round for tea after you claim it all the time with other fans and Boddy?

He’s right to an extent though, Boddy was hawking him around at the end of
January.

its clear we need to sell one of the assets though or were not going to have anything to improve the squad. We still need 5/6 players which I’m confident we’ll get. Unfortunately we’re going to need 8-10 mil minimum, and hope we get given 5 mil

I couldn't give a shit what his history is with other clubs.

Since he joined here we've gone from L2 to challenging for the Championship playoffs so why would I give fuck what he has done elsewhere.

When has that happened? I agree if we had sold players cheaply in my memory that wouldn’t be good, the last few sales we have maximised the money and add ons. We have sold too early and due to the reasons grendel suggests

He has nothing in common with me - this is tiresome. I don’t defend the council - that is laughable

Many people - not just me - do not think these owners are capable of operating in this league and Boddy with his ridiculous antics at Pershore Town Evesham United and his outrageous treatment of Worcester City clearly is a concern as it’s obvious he has “form” in dealing with clubs with no long term lease / ground ownership

If we can’t talk about these concerns create some rules and ban people from offering a critique

I had lunch once with Mike McGinnity - so what? I’m not a fan

Who said anything about banning anybody? Nobody. Why make things up that haven't even been suggested?

Like I said, you have a lot more in common with him than you seem to want to realise. You are already spouting the "ban me" type victim act that nobody has even mentioned.

Maybe you can stop giving it out about people having Boddy round for tea in every other thread then while you are having Maton round yourself and ranting like the Sky Blue Trust in 2018.

A concern? Have a day off, the only thing you seem concerned about is O'Hare and making everything about a Tory / Labour borefest.

Oh yeah, O'Hare to Norwich would be a sensible move for O'Hare. Before Dyche was sacked, I'd have actually said Burnley might be a good move for him as he's hard working, industrious, with a certain creativity without being a 'flair' player as such but, who knows what's going on with Burnley atm!

Where was Boddy Hawking O'Hare around in January? The bit in a programme note that said we had turned down a decent offer for one of our players?

If that's it, thats how hawking O'Hare around mate.

I can see a bigger picture and the finances but hey big Dave and Sisu live for stooges like you - the club has no asset base is massively in debt to its owner - a hedge fund whose primary interest is making interest and income for portfolio owners. We don’t even know who these people are

But hey we’ve got back to where we were 15 years ago (other than we have 8 years on a lease and not 45) So actually let’s have No concerns about medium term at all
