@GIMOC is clearly an Overson lover boy who is throwing his toys out the pram because the owner no longer wishes to engage with him. Move over and don't be salty

overson done a lot for the club. More than people know. nothing about being salty. respect goes a long way. He has that from the manager and players which shows what input he’s had for the club

However if someone new comes along they would inevitably be sidelined

I assume that’s who Pete was referring to when saying someone was treated badly.

difference here. overson done more than just pay for training ground upgrade. to get banned from Ryton is more than just being sidelined. robins and players respect overson more than they do king. will leave it at that

There is always in fighting and back stabbing at boardroom level. Especially when a new regime comes along and shakes the tree. But they don't all run out the room and start bitching about it to anyone who will listen? If they do we are better off without them being involved.

It’s not just internally. Only 4 boxes renewed and 7 sold in total. talks been had to drop prices. king is reluctant but in essence will have to cave in. it’s not a good look

You are hinting that Overson has paid for the new pitches at Ryton and the CBS,I don't believe that is the case.

didn’t say that. Previously he did at Ryton but reliably informed king hasn’t stumped the cash for the lastest development either

Yes he did pay for the new Gym, he's a very decent bloke and well respected by many players and staff.

old school mentality. Footballers need to be told sometimes rather than dictating themselves. People need to put their foot down and too right too

I don't think he will. It was a hike, but I'd assume they'll be sold on a match by match basis and after a slow take up, will all be gone by end of season as businesses get used to it. Short term pain and a shame he alienated some who have previously held one, but long term good business decision imo, time will tell I guess.

* edit: end one being used as a sensory room too which is a good addition.

that might be the case but when you build a rapport with someone you will have their back when you get stabbed in the back.

7 Sold is £175,000 which is well on its way to generating the amount of revenue we did when they were priced what they were last season.

also the only reason the 'old guard' like Overson is due to the fact he licked a few people in the right places when we were down.

He let the players illegally party at his mansion during lockdown, and saw that as "buying his way to a good place"

the reality is time moves on as should we.

he done much more than that for the club and players although the parties were good. Better than no 10 anyway.

So maybe people are putting 2+2 together and making 5? There's a logical start that's ending with an illogical conclusion.

My source has told me that Doug King is preparing a Partygate-style inquiry into this, with those responsible looking at some serious jail time. He’s 80% sure about it anyway.

more likely from the budget of this season ahead. but certainly hasn’t used his own money for the upgrade.

well on the way but no more enquiries so they are no in talks to lower prices with original box holders.

difference is. we were told king was stumping the cash himself which clearly isn’t true.

if we managed to sell another 10 at £20k think we would be better off. Therefore the ploy has worked.

Am I the only who thought it was obvious that GIMOC is mates with Overson’s son, hence the info, WhatsApp group mentions etc.?

I honestly don’t give it a shit either way but it is clear Overson is very friendly with a lot of the players as one of his Insta reels came up on my Insta and he had a big party with loads of them there, singing city songs etc. so obviously is going to have an inside line into what is going on and clearly devotes a lot of time to the club.

And not sure why GIMOC gets so much shit for writing what he’s hearing as doesn’t sound like he’s making it up to me and more importantly why he even continues to bother after all the grief he takes from you lot

Impression I get from his twitter is that GIMOC is an older gentleman (no offence GIMOC) , more likely friends with Overson.
