Andy Scott needs to go

I make you wrong Uberdizxy.

On Methven, on his own podcast he stated that he cobbled together the money he had to hand at the time to make a token investment to “show willing”, that figure was £75,000 which is nothing like a 5% stake in the club.

A 5% stake on current valuation would equate to circa £600,000, and even storyteller-extraordinaire Charlie Boy has never claimed to be in for that amount.

And whether we like it or not, the investors have stumped up a significant sum of money for players. Unless you are adding Connor Coventry to your seemingly ever expanding list of wrong ‘uns. CC told fans at the POTY dinner that CAFC had offered him more in wages than two Championship clubs. When you consider that we also paid a fee for Gillesphey from a Championship club, and Thierry Small had plenty of suitors and won’t have come cheap, you begin to see that some serious cash by L1 standards has been spent.

We don’t need to split hairs on this one, BTW. I sort of suspect that you won’t agree

 

As I've said before, I hope our spending on players like Connor Coventry haven't crossed any EFL red lines.

How much income do we have?
I can't imagine ST sales are up on this time last year.
Do we have a transfer embargo or a points deduction coming our way?

 

If Jones has final say I would say that makes Scott's position untenable.

 

You have not got any to split

 

Dushitelet backed off after the relegation and changed strategy, and stumbled on Bowyer.
I'll still give no credit due to what happened before.
He did bring squirrel face along though who had a cracking set of bangers.

 

The yanks possibly gave them a bedding in period but then came over and laid down the law in appointing Jones.

 

This is how our ownership is. Gabriel Brener 23 per cent, Joshua Freedman 23per cent, Warren Rosenfeld 23 per cent, ACA Football Partners 5 Per cent, Munir Javeri 5 Per cent, Marc Boyan 5 per cent, Charlie Methven 5 Per cent.11 per cent individual shareholders not been announced who they are or what their shareholdings are.

This is from Chicago Addick. Have no idea how accurate it is.

 

Short answer no we don't have a transfer embargo or a points deduction coming our way. Methven said that ST sales are at the same level as last Season. Let us see if their is a surge if and when we sign players.

 

As far as I’m aware those detailed figures are not published anywhere so cannot be verified I’m afraid.

All the club have ever said is that there are a group of seven named shareholders each with over 5% shares, plus an unnumbered group of shareholders with less than 5%.

Charlie is one of those who has +5% so unless the club was purchased for only £1.5M someone isn’t being wholesome with the truth .

Well who’d have thought that eh ?

 

You will never sell a lot of ST’s in League One.

a. The standard of football is generally sh1t, making it a ‘must attend’ event on a Saturday only for the most hardy of anoraks, or those wanting 90 mins away from the wife, and b. the fanbase has been let down too many times with bogus promises made to generate ST sales.

 

Only the likes of Portsmouth will sell a lot of ST's in this tier.
Clubs who are clearly Hell-bent on getting to the Championship and play like they mean to do just that.

We haven't played even close to that standard since before the Pandemic.
We are dreadful.

 

It doesn’t matter whether I agree. It’s there in black and white. Charlie does own 5+% of the club.

Which confirms the fact that we haven’t and aren’t going to spend enough money to get us out of this league.

Our ST sales will not pay for a promotion push, our commercial revenue will not pay for a promotion push, we have to reduce our losses by £8-9M per season so that will hinder a promotion push and our owners will not put in equity to pay for a promotion push.

So what IS going to pay for a promotion push.

I’m intrigued to know.

Anyone ?

 

Who has the final say so? How many in the states pull the strings?

 

Absolutely none of us will ever know that, because that’s all hidden behind a wall of secrecy in the Cayman Islands

 

I’d like to know who pulls your strings, given you are the same size as Bill & Ben the flowerpot men.

 

My cuddly chocolate Pincer

 

I must be a hardy anorak as I have bought a Season ticket.

 

Fair play to you.

Going every week is no longer for me, although Charles Hawtrey on ITTV worked out that it costs £16 a game if you buy an ST & attend every game.

I’ll be going to St Andrews next season, which is always a good day out.

 

The Dobbo fiasco should make his position untenable
