    He brought you Iseka and Oulare. Enough said.

    In my mind the further he falls the more chance there is of him staying away from European football, which he patently knows kfuc all about!!

    He was a fall guy when things went sour. Cryne, Parekh, JAQ and co were happy for him signing the cheques whilst things were going well.

    What if that's the only way they can stay afloat?

    apparently so. I’m not saying he’s the messiah, he’s likely as not a complete lovely person but his employers were more than happy until they needed someone to blame. And saying that, what do any of them know about football?!

    His employers? You think they employed him? They were investors in an investment scheme he set up. It's not that difficult a concept to understand.

    For me the owners should keep injecting funds until they see a return on their investment or sell up. If that involves buying the ground so be it. That isn't being a sugar Daddy that's running a successful business and being prepared to take a financial hit in the meantime. So far they are injecting just enough to tick over. Lets not forget it's them that put us in this position in the first place. Also they're all multi millionaires/ possibly some Billionaires?

    I’m referencing what JAQ alluded to. He was her faceless group’s representative. Don’t try and be clever.

    So he did it all without them knowing or agreeing? And somehow this makes them all suitable to carry on if true?

    You're quoting what somebody alluded to?

    And the irony is that had they decided to invest after the play offs instead of passing the season off as a failure because no one was sold we may well have stayed up and maybe retained Val (a long shot)

    Referring to then. Anything of value to add to the debate or just nitpicking?

    If Conway was just a broker acting on behalf of JAQS group. Was it JAQQS group that weren't happy with the work done by Dane Murphy. Had he spent too much bringing in Val and Dike?

    That's why the style of football changed overnight because players that lose every week go up in value. Your keeper looks better if his goal is peppered every game ;):D.

    I appreciated why the club and ground were separated and personally was glad they were.
    I agree there. It was one mistake after another last season.

    Club overly influenced by people who put too much stock in figures over experience and knowledge

    Yes I know but it isn’t that relevant anymore; wasn’t sure if the context you were referring to it in
