Hearing some positive news ish

[Park Street Ranger]

I am sure the original post was made in good faith but that is almost as funny as last Friday's announcement that Pellicori and Alberti were back.

Who deals with contracts?

Exactly what i was thinking.

Load of old boll-ox IMHO.

I'm sitting here, scratching my head, and wondering........How the hell did those two oafs, Briatore & Ecclestone, make their £millions? HOW???

Sure as hell, it's not because of their business acumen, they posess none.

Many top businessmen make mistakes but bounce back.Take Donald Trump for example.Gonna look back as not one of their better investments.

To be fair to Ecclestone, he has got some great contacts from Forumla 1. No-one can really question his business ventures

He has never been a lover of football and came into it very late in life and does not understand the mindset of the everyday football fan and probably doesn't even care anyway. I

if Bernie does sell up, I am sure the people taking over would have enough money to move this club forward. its just a matter of when.

(I hope)

Utter nonsence. Business men run football clubs, not football men - they either know what anticipated costs are - especially when we were top all season - not like a late suprise....or they are totally incompetent. Either way it is not good news.

And the Prem is worth 80-90 million if you throw in parachute payments and all the rest.

If true, it's a disgrace!

1) they should be able to calculate it easily
2) shows they have no Intention of staying more than a year

Was there not a blogger recently noting that there was a dispute over payment of bonuses at the club? There may be an element of truth to it.

Secondly, was this not under the watch of CEO Ishan Saksena? And could this be the reason he was shifted out?

[LoftusRoadLad]

T&C should think of our players as F1 drivers.....and they are cheaper !!

[LBLOCK]

These contracts where people such as Vine and Patrick Angrymang etc got lumpy bonus and wage increases --- they weren't kept in the same filing cabinet as Faurlin's "letter of comfort" were they?

Time and time and time and time and time and time again that c0ck is at the centre of some bad news or chaos caused at MY club.
How he keeps his job is one of the mysteries of the modern world but clinging on and leeching seem to be skills he has honed to a fine art.

One things for sure, he'll not avoid stick around W12 in a few months time. Even people who have defended him in the past are finally seeing the light. Some will never wake up to it but more fool them.

Semblence of hope -- maybe a HUGE autopsy of due diligence is taking place to ensure no more "waiter bombs" are ticking in locked drawers at Harlington? Once confirmed new ownership rolls?
Say a little prayer.



FFS it's only July (again)

Very good point , t&c wouldn't be doing the fine print wouldn't be suprised has all come out since , could well be linked o above as the representative for the board him and gp would be doing contracts , have stated many times I wondered how much of pur budget taken up by deadwood, sounds likea am awful lot

[Alex1982]

Hey everyone,

Been reading this forum for ages but never registered.

I don't see how this can be the case. It was under the current owners stewardship that these contracts were negotiated, it is not as if they inherited them from previous owners, so how they can be unaware of the terms is beyond me.

I would love to kick off further, but as it is my first post I will refrain

[qprbrisbanedivision]

Want to be very careful but am being told the reason that no players have arrived yet is due to the club not realising how much promotion would cost.
They have paid out 6m in backdated players and staff and 3m to clubs we've bought and loaned with promotion bonuses and on top off that huge legal bill and Fa fine and other bit and pieces have cost the club over 12m
Was told the reason that cms,routledge and Graham never signed cos there was no spare money in the budget.
But on a positive note told warnock is still in charge and working with the board to bring players in

So where is the positive..ish news then ?

[Yousef]

Too many rumours and we do not know who to believe. One says there will be a new Russian owner, another says the Mittals will be back, then someone says no mopney left.

[Shania]

If this report is true, no wonder the Mittals are sitting on the fence at the moment.
