Title: Plugging the gap
Post by: MrFrost on May 20, 2010, 09:59:04 pm
All this talk of us losing 3-4 million every year has got me thinking.
How many more years will the board keep this up for?

Our season ticket sales will be massively down on last year IMO, and I reckon we will be lucky to average 10k, which means an even bigger shortfall for the year after, which once again the board will have to make up if we are to stay out of debt.

JR and co wont keep doing this year after a year.

However, the club hardly helps itself with its shambolic advertising and marketing. Ie the season tickets for this year have been poorly, poorly marketed.

Just how much longer than this go on for is my question before something finally gives?

i think the game plan for them in rovers board room would be to get
full ownership of the KMS lock/stock and barrel from donny council

then and only then will you might see a very controlled and carefullly
planned release of funds to improve squad for that possible 100 per cent push

A mate who lives in Liverpool and supports Everton sent me an email with the West Ham players wages on. That makes your eyes water and not just the top earners. I dont know how to post it on here but if someone who does sends me their email address I'll send it on, Dave

As a West Ham fan (dont ask) all I can say is....


...Jonathan Spector!  HOW MUCH!?????

The world has gone mad.  The two Davids have got some pain on there.

That's the one. No wonder clubs end up where they do, it's suicide to have commitments like that. What would have happened if they had been demoted like they should have after the Tevez debacle?

So back to my original question. How long can the board continue to plug an over growing gap?

A lot longer if they dont go ott for the likes of Shacks and Sharp, which you think they should.

If I was Kovac I'd be a bit pissed seeing the likes of Boa Morte on more than three times my salary....
