I don't see him as a tight arse now he said we have lost £3 million in a year. However the appalling football played is a problem.


Yeah, I'm looking to see how that 3 million is reflected. It was immediately jumped on by some doom-mongerers that support our rivals as the first signs of impending liquidation ( :lol: ) but I think it was quite misleading to those that don't understand the set up here.

I am guessing paying off the contracts of Neilson and the two loans (I am guessing compensation may have been given for them, but I don't know how the loan system works). Couple that with less attendances and the stupid amount we pay agents (IIRC we spend a lot on agents fees) it all adds up. Plus the training ground stuff must be costing a fair bit (both in money and hair loss due to stress!).

How do you figure that?

We bought the land at Cosgrove for cash at the time. That and asking an architect to draw up the plans seem to have been our only outlay in respect of Cosgrove, and nothing appears to have been spent on the Tickford Farm site.

We'll only start spending money once either of them get planning permission.

We haven't actually submitted a planning permission request yet have we?

Yes, several for both sites.

I seem to remember that it was an environmental audit and to see if planning permission was required, not an actual submission.

Surely that would still cost money. I know a geologist and her company charge a fair whack for a site survey. Even so it all adds up regardless of what we paid cash for or not, but compensation has to be the main factor in it.
