Owners - what do you want from them?

There just invisible men sat in America our club 80% sat in a office in Hong Kong

 

Who said they're invisible? I'm just saying there isn't any information out there that confirms our illustrious leaders are billionaires.

 

Each person has to make their own mind up as to what the evidence points to and if they are happy with those actions.

We should only be a maximum of 5 weeks away from the filing of the 2020/21 accounts (unless they are filed late). And I think they will be quite eye opening.

 

Or eye watering.

 

We'll have to see. I'm expecting a loss in excess of £1m and wouldn;t be surprised if it was up at around £2m. I recall we weren't able to come to an agreement with the players on any sort of wage deferral or reduction. I think we should see the MacDonald compensation in these accounts, but we will likely have sale monies for Struber and Brown in there, or first instalments of at least.

 

All I ask of our esteemed owners is that they keep their macro promises that they made when they first came on board ….
Improved matchday experience ( no progress so far, in fact it has gone backwards)
Sustainability and therefore longevity of our club (ongoing)
Increased commercial revenue (seen little progress on this point)
Improvements to the stadium (zero progress)
I feel the fan base have kept their side of the bargain (apart from the unrelenting whinging and grumping, which is frankly embarrassing to the majority) so come on the board, get yer fingers out …..

 

Competence would be a start!

Get ya sen a lambretta a proper scooter

 

?

 

Mind you we do have 20% owners also 50% of stadium land. Who are also invisible

 

I believe a provision was made in the 2020 Accounts. If so, the final decision to agree with Hull City's version of events has no effect on the accounts for 2021. The full amounts will be shown for the Struber and Brown transfers, with any unpaid amounts recorded in debtors.

 

For Paul to you honour his earlier promises and return the £750,000 to the club?

For Paul to commit to never again act as CEO.

For them to promise never to interfere in on field matters. No forcing managers to play certain players.

For them to pay what they agreed for the stadium OR to accept they don't own it but that it is our home

 

Bloody ell, who have we signed? Are Status Quo re-releasing Down Down?

 

I want:
1. A published business plan covering the next five years.
2. Honest communications that illustrate the transparency that our CEO has previously talked about. Supported by evidence of a change in approach including:
- A detailed explanation of the reasons the West Stand was closed together with further details of what remedial work has been undertaken to enable it to reopen.
- A full explanation of the £750k payment to OH Ltd.
3. A commitment to adapt the transfer strategy to include targeting of some 'experienced players' aged 27+ (details to be defined) to accelerate the development of younger players.
4. Exclude head coach appointments from the buy young and cheap, develop and move on at a profit strategy.
5. Renewed focus on the supporter experience including some specific and measurable objectives.
6. A commitment that future payments to OH Ltd will not be funded by BFC or by borrowing secured against the club.

I realise these are quite extreme - which probably reflects how strongly I feel about their actions / lack of actions. And I realise there's not a hope in hell.

 

Can’t see Jewsons amounting to much TBH.
In last year they have also done deals with Woking, Crawley, Ayr, Lincoln, Coventry & Dorset Premier League amongst others.

 

I don’t recall seeing it in the 19/20 accounts as a provision, but I’ve not looked for a while, so I’ll have a nosey tomorrow. I recall the judgement was in March 2021, post year end but before the last accounts were signed off and submitted, so you’re right, there should be a provision in there.
