The badly run thread

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Orient lost 4.5m? Jesus. I can't remember the figures, but we nearly went bust over a third of that.

That is just nuts, and I'm sure Os will concur!

I disagree. It's not nuts. It's total and utter fucking lunacy.

Also forgot that when we made a £4,500,000 loss Moses Odubajo was sold for £1,000,000.

Yup.

I think that's roughly our turnover for the last set of accounts. Which means you've lost more than the entire turnover of at least 50% of the clubs in this league. That is really staggering with a million quid sale.

No wonder you guys aren't too pleased at the moment!

I'd imagine it's over 50% of the clubs turnover... I'd imagine a certain former Italian full back we had was on a weekly wage equivalent to a few clubs entire weekly wage expenditure. I mean if we're throwing money at it chasing the dream, that sets alarm bells off - if Becchetti pulled out we'd almost certainly end up in administration.

The fact we chucked money at it to not even achieve the dream is absolutely sickening... Fortunately a number of high earners are off the books although apparently before Nolan signed we were going to offer Dossena like wages (we're talking five figures a week, and probably significantly into that as well) but he rejected, so quite frankly who the fuck knows what we're paying him now, could be anything. That has to be settled.

Coxy is still on an apparent £5,000 a week, Simpson is probably on £4,000. This will be an interesting summer.

So a baby step towards some recovery at Notts. Guy Branston has departed as head of recruitment.

Announced today that our Chairman who said "I will never set foot back in Meadow Lane" will take the club off the market should no deal to sell the club be completed before the end of June.
We have been told that there were 4 interested parties, Asian, American, a UK Hedge Fund and A local businessman, the only person who public said he was interested was the Notts businessman. Many don't believe there was anyone else.

So the badly run thread can continue for Notts for a little while yet!

To be honest the biggest step forward is that Trew has realised the only way a chairmen should communicate with fans is via the media. If he stops posting on NCM a quarter of the problem goes away.

Branstons gone, half the crap has gone and we have a decent manager. Something to build on...

Lucky you...

The worst thing is that, if we manage to keep hold of Cox & Simpson, we'll probably end up skirting around the playoffs again despite the absolute clusterfuck going on behind the scenes.

Don't worry pal, we will be well and truly in this for some time. Badly run clubs fans anonymous in session

Transfer embargo lifted. One step at a time...
