Who has suggested spending our way to glory or that he splashes the cash?

Whilst many fans would hope for more investment in the first eleven no one has suggested we start spending tens of millions.

In fact a lot of the criticsm currently aimed at Peter Ridsdale is about how the current funds are spent rather than demanding more spending.

The only people that have ever given Mr Hemmings or the family grief for how much they spend on the football club are either people that haven't a clue about business or financial fair play.

The issue is how its spent, or rather how the adviser thinks it should be spent.

There is a misconception,amongst some, that the fans are not happy with the Hemmings family. This is most certainly not the case.
The vast majority hold them in very high esteem and are fully aware of what the late Trevor did for our/his club. Long may it continue.
The misconception has come about largely due to our self proclaimed “Head of Recruitment” alluding to this every time he opens his mouth. The erstwhile “fish filleter” does this in order to feed the myth that we are unhappy with the Hemmings family, and thus detract from his own considerable failings.
Message to Peter:
You’ll see no sheets on Deepdale with “Hemmings Out” printed on them. However you will see your own name in finest Dulux Matt Black if you lose on Saturday. It’s a pressure job “managing” a football club. No use moaning about us fans......that’s what makes “managers” unpopular. (and I don’t mean Frankie😜.....you’ve already hung him out to dry in your last “interview”).

The only Cash I want them to Splash is either getting Help for Frankie or getting rid of Frankie. And maybe a Taxi for Riddler.

Get rid of ALOT of the deadwood who aren't good enough, if they can't sell or loan them, then tell the players there not in the clubs plans and pay them out? Simple.

Then we will have more to spend that's not being used by players not good enough and players always injured and have never featured.

Most on long term deals aswell. Needs to be sorted. NOW.

I'm no genius, but surely it's pretty straightforward and the club call the shots.

Someone needs to grow a pair and tell it like it is, and own up for it.
 
I can't really believe that the majority of PNE fans were Very Happy that TH split his Sporting Interests between Deepdale AND the expense of running a team of Stables, Lads, Jockeys, trainers, Racecourse fees and the rest of the kit & caboodle.
Perhaps someone on here can give an informed,educated guestimate, of the millions spent on both interests of 'Uncle' , over the years.
My personal opinion was shown when the Deepdale crowd, with me, were invited to applaud his latest Aintree winner. Because I would rather he'd have spent his money on a quality player or two, I did not wish to either stand up, nor clap. I also don't support an industry that I believe is basically cruel, and encourages poverty in far too many people.
I also appreciate the vast sums of money the racing industry give to the Exchequer, and that TH had/ should have the freedom to spend his earnings as he sees fit.
But at the "end of the day" he was happy to see the club jog along as infinitum, maybe just maybe getting lucky, with his other major sporting expenditure simply, regularly, turning
into 'Chum' and 'Pal'.
Contrast that with the efforts of, say,
Dave Whelan and Jack Walker.
