This has nothing to do with Ridsdale, this is about stopping the football club haemorrhaging their cash.

They don't put £14m into PNE every year, and they certainly won't in the future - and they couldn't give a damn if the squad is full of Woodburns as long as it gets the wage bill down.

L1 here we come... 🙁

It absolutely isn’t.

Name me one then? Almost every club in this division pay more than us when it comes to wages.

Unbelievably, we’re paying Woodburn 12k a week.

He’ll be DJ’s replacement anyway.

The like of Barry Bannan at Sheffield Wednesday in League 1 are on more then £20k a week
 
I know I’ve said it before but the club has been up for sale for years. Trev was hoping to get his money back but things changed. Those with money started buying non league clubs with no debt/overheads, building those up and at the same time the Premiership pulled away taking all the revenues with it. Trev was left stranded with PNE. His usual buy cheap and sit on it until the next mug comes along hasn’t worked whilst costs have spiralled.
There will be some tax benefits/ management charges etc to offset some of the losses but it is still a hole in their bucket.
Can they just pull the plug and declare PNE bankrupt? I suspect if we are in relegation territory at the end of next season, that is what will happen.

Feels like he's off of course

Second only to gregan for me - I know that'll make a lot of the clogger lovers choke on their Horlicks

Legend

Not in the same league, Gregan could change the course of a game and literally take it by the scruff of the neck to change its course.
D.J has been a good signing, great on his Day and i wish him well.
Gregan is right up there with the best of the past 50 to 60 years.
I would say that Pearson was better and more influential than D.J.
D.J. has been a good but inconsistent Player for us though - not quite a legend but overall a good signing.

I really don't understand it and never will but something smacks of " not quite right " and always has done.... Even the cleverest on here have never been able to explain it from a business point of view......... Maybe PNE was his trainset and he just wanted his money back . Although that could only be achieved by investing in a good infrastructure and getting to the prem but he was too tight( careful) to do it. Actually he did it once ( ish ) by letting Degs and Irvine waste a fortune...... Talk about backing the wrong horses ( pun intended). Then he bought the club for ten bob to get his own back 😀

Billionaires obviously think differently to the rest of us so logic will never apply...................... And it doesn't explain why the club hasn't been shifted PDQ to stem the big " losses ".......... It's the first thing an accountant would do.

Trevor was obviously a good businessman, the problem for us plebs is that we never knew what his plan was or the strategy he had in mind to achieve it, and why should we? I think he wanted to keep the club going at Championship level without spending more than necessary, believing all along that gave us a chance of getting promotion. I also think he didn't want to invest too much because that wouldn't have given any certainty of a return on his investment. Maybe he saw it as a gamble, do I buy a thousand lottery tickets or a million?

I should stress, this is pure conjecture, just my opinion, but at least it makes sense.

What's happening now makes no sense.

Wasn't comparing the two more who I've enjoyed watching wear our shirt. Gregan the best player I've seen play for us by a distance but Daniel for me is up there also as I've really enjoyed watching him and his contribution to the club, number of games, performances etc. I don't think he's inconsistent either btw just has more impact in some games than others, this inconsistent tag people throw about is funny cause all our players are inconsistent just cause someone's bar is extremely high then they for some reason don't have a great game then 'on his day' bollocks comes out. Sorry just how I see it. Weird arguement.

As others have said it's currently £2 million+ per year but she's guaranteed that for each year between October 2021 & 2026. That's just her "wage"; there's dividends and other perks she's entitled too, including plenty of acres to let the horses out for a gallop around a near by tax haven.

I'm going to go and wife her up, if Nobber hasn't got there first.

Exactly, it shouldn't really haemorrhage the cash for what it has in assets and is achieving on the pitch, however much it is that their putting in it shouldn't mean we're standing still or going backwards.

You're last part although their might be some truth in it (Revitt) is subjective at the same time, as many have mentioned it seems Craig has a passion for the football club above just getting the wage bill down.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. PNE is a small Championship club that will always haemorrhage cash at this level, whether it makes the top 6, stands still in mid-table, or goes backwards. That's the deal for any owner of PNE. It's going to cost big money to run it.

It's the deal TH signed up for, but it isn't the deal his heirs signed up for, and I think we can clearly see they are happy to do anything they can to reduce that outward cashflow, regardless of whether they do it with a "passion" for the club or their own inheritance - the effect is the same.

Would you say haemorrhaging cash is pissing it up the wall on players like Ledson and Woodburn or haemorrhaging cash in the way it makes a loss year on year but is ultimately covering itself with player sales and trading?

I think the club should be buying players, improving them (Pearson, Johnson, Davies, Robinson, Woodman, Whiteman, McCann, Riis, Hugill etc) and then selling on for a good profit and using that money to then reinvest and purchase the next prospect.

Not just haemorrhaging cash in the Championship because thats the status quo.
