    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.

    Who are the some?

    I know you love to split everything in to two camps and have a history of making it all very black or white, but it's very rarely as clear cut or simple as that. I haven't seen anyone refuse to question the owners' performance. I'd say it's almost universal in agreement that they've made mistakes and have performed poorly.

    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 …..

    Definitely feels like we're making progress on this one. We've had more new sponsors agreed in January than signings, and there were so called record deals completed in the Summer as well.

    Not sure if the accounts breakdown commercial income but we wouldn't see that until next year's accounts anyway would we?

    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

    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.

    But it's a deal that didn't exist prior and you'd expect the deal with us to be worth more than most clubs you've just mentioned.

    Not every deal is six figures. But lots of new deals makes a huge difference to your commercial income. Mainly just using it as an example against those saying we've not improved commercially - which is something that feels like we can't pass comment on like the other points that regularly get raised.

    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.
