the yoof drive a club / town/ city / country forwards very short term view taken imo ive said before i can honestly see within 4/5 seasons us not opening a stand up for matches way its going, cut cut cut, if fans drop to 7/8k ST were sunk
 
I don't know too much about this other than what I've read on here and I do realise real people will be very disappointed... But one thought that did make me chuckle is this.............. Why worry about the " development" of anything when the club is incapable of developing jack shit... ?
 
Sad to hear but those young lads will probably be better off at another club, blessing in disguise.
This club is literally going backwards in almost every area from what we can see as fans.
 
I know Alistair White and was talking to him at the Coventry night match. He’s a really nice lad, very personable and on his way up the C and E pyramid of employees. It sounds a backwards step and sends out all the wrong messages about PNE. As previously stated, it can’t be much of an expense so not much of a saving. And you would hope that as a club we weren’t that hard up that we have to axe this pathway for youngsters to try to fulfill their dreams. Come on PNE, explain why you’ve taken this action.

It really does make me wonder who is responsible for identifying the areas in which ‘cost savings’ are to be implemented. Clearly there is a remit from the ownership to reduce costs as a means of mitigating the ongoing losses, but who is tasked with this remit?

One can only assume that PR is the individual directly below the ownership whom is instructed to identify and implement cost cutting measures. This being the case, why would the ownership not realise that PR himself represents a significant cost which could be cut? A competent accountant could easily subsume PR’s role in respect of financial management. It is just good business practice to utilise someone external when you are looking to restructure a failing business.

We are talking here about a ‘business’ which spent in the region of £30m last year (excluding non-cash costs such as depreciation and amortisation). What is the financial impact of suspending the development centre? Has a cost-benefit analysis been undertaken in relation to this decision? (Minimal and no are obviously the respective answers).

The entire operation is a shambles from top to bottom and unless we can find a new owner in the next 6-12 months, we are well and truly screwed. Oh, and as an aside, if Peter or one of his minions reads this forum, you may want to consider filing the PNE Ltd Confirmation Statement on Companies House, it is now overdue…..

Nothing interesting just that the share issue is correct effectively. Just ironic given thewhites post

Shocking decision, look at clubs like AFC Wimbledon, since they came back from the dead, involved the community, youth academy and a foundation that works with the community, local schools, raising funds for laptops etc, providing assistance to local charities and involving the club in the community.

I don't think North End, the club, have any relationship with the town, it's people and it's history. TH made a big mistake employing that slimeball PR.
 
Just saying but wouldn’t it be better to wait & hear a explanation from the club rather than jumping to conclusions that fit with agenda's .
Things could be better at the club but I think some on here are just waiting for the next thing to beat the club owners again.
Have a look on other club forums in the EFL who we are above like Blackpool Wigan Fleetwood Morecambe Accrington Barrow they don’t slag there club off like you fucking lot .
Do you seriously enjoy been so miserable season after season .

You will be lucky to hear an explanation from the club, like everything else they will just sweep it under the carpet and hope it is forgotten with time. This decision will have been discussed for months about the pros and cons of the development squad so they could have easily had a statement ready and released when they email was sent out

The owners want shut of the club, the result of this means repairs to the ground and investment to improve the playing staff will not happen. It isn't a case of beating the owners, it's a case of the owners don't really give a shit anymore, the club is an unwanted burden to them.

It appears that any cost-cutting available to them, they will find and rid themselves of the financial burden.
