After the Preston game?

The manager's remit isn't to win games, it's to add value to the players so they can be moved on elsewhere whilst agents pick up some nice comission.

Well he has to decide whether the risk injury or the risk of losing a lead is greater. I think after the events at Wrexham I’d have gone with leaving players on in favour of brining on Gueye and De Neve!

Very good!

I don't know, when was expectation last high😁

How many are we still paying that aren't here i wonder.

Similar yes…an extract from “Let’s Parlez Franglais Avec Rudy et Valerien” 😁

Who on earth would pay £35 to go and talk to Valerian Ismael? Apart from Rudy Gestede.

On average…at some points during the year presumably we were >+45 👀

Think the Bank of India overdraft rates are considerably higher than UK rates.

Not seen it. Are we thinking alike?

I believe you’re on the naughty list.

I assumed this was down to change in coach and support staff and churn in players in and out the door.

How on earth do we end up with another 45 employees ?

Number of employees…

I expected a bit of a revival from the Owls following the Chansiri seats getting ripped out etc but it hasn’t materialised, yet Will the further points deduction up the eff you EFL mentality and spur them on? They really have nothing to lose and go into every game needing to at least try and win, which may slightly work in our favour rather than playing a team happy to sit back. Questionable subs and game management our biggest issue lately, not even going down the ref blaming road it’s pathetic, regardless of some shite decisions. Another 1-1 draw probably the most likely result although no use to either team, so we have to hope we can somehow fathom a 2-1 win.

I’ve reserved the right to ask for a Porsche for Christmas 😉

As I said earlier, the red card more often than not you get. The penalty more often than not you don't. But I'm more annoyed that in the last minute when defending a lead, a long ball from here.... Ends up with no-one challenging for it and being controlled by a guy with his foot in our box here.... That is non-league defending at any part of the game, let alone in that situation when we should be seeing the game out. If they'd carved us open with a great move, or a 25 yard screamer, I wouldn’t have been as pissed off.

But the bank has reserved the right to ask for one.

I think the bank will be looking at a near future large Wharton instalment which is guaranteed unless Palace go bust.

I wouldn't say it was a certain red, but I'm sure it would have been given in most cases. I am sure, and it's undeniable,that it was a good goalscoring opportunity.

I couldn’t find a disclosure in the VLL accounts but the club banks with State Bank of India so I think we can assume it’s the same entity. An important point on administration - the VLL accounts specifically say that there is NO DEBENTURE securing the overdraft. The bank therefore cannot call in an administrator, as it does not have the legal right so to do. For Rovers to go into administration they would have be placed there voluntarily by the directors. (See Sheffield Weds). This means the club would have to be trading insolvently (which opens up the directors to personal legal action) & so the directors protect themselves by calling in an admin. I suspect we were getting pretty close to that point until Adam was sold. That relieved the pressure. That’s why Waggott kept trumpeting the fact that the bills being paid on time was a cause for celebration. The increase in O/D is interesting - because from my days in corporate lending, an unsecured loan of £12m would usually require at the very least some form of inter-company guarantee or personal guarantees from the directors to “focus the minds” of the owners. If this O/D is truly, completely unsecured then SBI must really value the group relationship & be making plenty of money out of the arrangement fees.

Buy it & frame it 😉

Did you read my piece in the last 4000 Holes fanzine? 😆
