Quote from: Lifelong supporter on August 16, 2018, 04:08:26 pmQuote from: silent majority on August 16, 2018, 03:21:54 pmI don't think it's a particularly confusing picture, as bfyp states it's common business practice. The company I work for has 4 divisions which always report as individual business's but shareholders and tax authorities always treat it as one.The only critics of Club Doncaster were those who had a tendency to criticise the current owners and felt that it was a stick to beat them with. I remember Lifelong being abhorrent that CD bought the Dons for example and refused to accept that they could contribute funds to the cause.Abhorrent!Not sure that’s the right word.And I’m not one who has a tendency to criticise the current owners.It’s just when I ask legitimate questions (and never get satisfactory answers) I’m accused of being against the current regime, which I am not.I’m gradually starting to understand the Club Doncaster concept thanks to these articles with Hoden and hope there are more to come.Just to correct one point though.You say I refused to accept the Dons could contribute funds to the cause.As far as I can see, according to Gavin in the article, they don’t.He says they simply cover their own costs...not contribute anything extra.I was waiting for you Lifelong, seeing as you do hang around anything I post, or the VSC, like a bad smell.I could, if I so wish, to go back over your posts of recent times and quote numerous examples, but I'll spare you that embarrassment.Even in recent weeks you've criticised Club Doncaster; you even criticised Grant McCann (somebody who you didn't want), for mentioning that he'd looked at it prior to his interview. You described it as 'the mysterious Club Doncaster'. As for the Dons, I remember your criticism of the purchase of them way back, and my attempts to clarify the situation failed as you obviously weren't bright enough to grasp that increasing revenues give you the chance to cut costs. And it seems you still don't. Keep up Dave.

If they meant budget they should say not break even figure
