You gotta have a shit agent if you get advised to move to Rovers knowing you won't get paid in February. -

If the traffic isn't too bad, should get back from work about 6:30 tomorrow. Quick tea then get down and buy a ticket. -

Not sure there is any link between selling Wharton and the court case being delayed. We need cash for wages. Hard cash, now. Can't see that coming from a deal to sell Wharton. Probably installments, etc. More likely the club will take out an emergency bridging loan. That is what they did last time when it was put back to October. Little choice really apart from deferring wages. Selling Wharton or whoever else is a necessity to comply with FFP. We need to get circa £11million of sales into this year's accounts - so before June 30th. -

The purpose for the model is not to reinvest most of it in the team and improve. The purpose is to increase the club income making us less reliant on the owners putting money in. A move towards net zero, breaking even. So if we sell a player for 20 million. 1 million goes to buying kids for the academy. Everyone moves up a rung. 19 million goes to the running of the club. -
What I mean is that the trust board now need to temper their citicism of the club and in particular Waggott. Otherwise, naturally, he will just stop engagement. If we take the fans takeover as an example. On the face of it, it seems great. But the upshot is this is the trust board doing the clubs job for them... for free. And if the trust want to do more of these, they can't fall out with Waggott. They have to remain amicable business friends. Waggott knows this. It neutralises the trust as a critical voice, much the same as the LT submissively toe the party line so as not to lose access. I did almost join the trust over Xmas until I thought about this. I like the energy of the new board. But I am firmly Venkys Out which is not the trust's public position. Otherwise they wouldn't be working closely with the club. Don't take it as criticism. You guys are doing a good job, none more than yourself. It is just my personal opinion that the MOU is hinderance to getting rid of the owners.

He has never played the game or in particular played in goal. He read a book and passed a test. So it depends on what qualifications we think are needed to be a good coach (not just to be A coach). -

We just see them as coaching staff / extension of manager. Managers and players have fixed period contracts. These are full time employees (like the tea lady) and we cannot afford the £ to make them redundant. -
Lets vote on this critical topic to gauge opinion. Now a realistic prospect. Some will see it as a new beginning (next Bolton) whilst some will be terrified it could be the end (next Bury). Poll above.

11 days to go. 🤣 I presume it's a digital sale and they won't be running out today wearing printed price tags. -
Tear up the Memorandum of Understanding. The Trust are shackled to Waggott by it. Aka in his pocket.

Oh dear. What you should have typed is And this is the problem with our owners - zero ambition.
