What versus football club owners spend more money?

I've listed specific goals the owners have told us publicly they want to meet, and I've told you why they cannot meet them.

They need to either adjust their goals, or increase their funding to achieve them.

Or settle for the shit they've got, which I think they already have.

The main guy would be - ideally, for me, to be someone ALREADY linked with the Media , but Independent of any Media Company ( ? )
- linked with the Club , but Independent of the Club .
And who would make representations to this Guy ?

Mark Lawrenson.


Really , who else is better ?
And for his "wingman" - if needed, Steve the Former PNE kitman - aka 'Surf' - (but as PR uh, 'let him go' for being outspoken , he could be in a difficult position , and I've not spoken to Surf since he left. But there's no doubting his passion )

I'd agree with both of those suggestions Noel.
Would be an interesting one with Lawrenson though after his well documented departure form the BBC
He was clearly unhappy with the way he was handled an I don't blame him.
No doubting he loves the club though!
Is he unhappy with the current hierarchy?
Only asking this as I've not heard him speak on all things North End for a while

Someone on this thread wrote stating PNE are 20th out of 24 in terms of budget.
Whilst that money has varying proportions of money from Gate Receipts, the top clubs will probably have a greater proportion of their money from their beneficiaries / owners.
So PNE have to be astute/ savvy to compete.

It's the same in any jungle- the Top / Premier League's. silverware winners , and the ones never going to drop down are almost inevitably the Big Boys. (Leicester winning it was a freak)
In the 2nd Division / Champ. jungle , PNE are not financially astute with the money given to them by their Benefactors.
Changing how PNE spend the amount given - by getting in a Fresh Face - would help. Enourmously.

At least the guy would get Airtime with SKY, ITV/ Granada, BT, the rest of the Bunch.
Hoping someone from PNE-Online & sympathetic to this and has a long conversation with him.

Please ! Can't come soon enough for me.

I don’t know ML , but i would suspect he would probably be reluctant to burn bridges with the club , i’d imagine he gets the odd VIP and/or perk through the club from contacts he will no doubt have …

If there is to be a protest(s) they have to be co-ordinated with all groups onboard and on the same page , otherwise it would be futile, IMO it probably wouldn’t take that much to push the Riddler, it will be the Hemmings family that will present the biggest problem !
 
It's almost unbelievable that just a few short months ago, our support was buzzing.
The atmosphere at the first few games was fantastic and supporters were well and truly invested in the club, as shown by ST sales.

Just a few months later and we are here. The whole club feels like it's driving down a cobbled road with punctured tyres.

In the words of Ted Lasso: "we are broken, fellas"

It is not a case of nodding dogs. Nobody has suggested a viable buyer as of yet. If they do walk who is going to pay the bills? If a nd when a buyer is found I will be also a happy man but until then is it not better to have SOMEONE rather than no one?

Good luck trying to question the actions of a baying mob.

In terms of the Hemmings family walking, I don’t think they have much choice. If they stop funding the club, then the Holding company owned by them is likely to acquire an equal debt, which will be their responsibility anyway. They’re not going to let the club go bankrupt: that would never be TH’s wish and we all know it.

FWIW, I don’t think this is really going to take off or less still make a difference. Nothing the fans can do is going to conjure up the billionaire buyer, who’s looking to piss away his/her fortune on a low level Championship football club.
 


Did a poll on my Twitter. Currently has 383 votes.

Consensus seems to be no to a protest.

Not saying I would disagree with a protest, made the poll mainly to see what a vast majority would think.

Would Mark Lawrenson be up to date with the ins & outs of the off the pitch dealings? The majority of fans who attend Deepdale are still expecting the Hemmings family to "do a Jack Walker" once the prodigal son (they're not sure what his name is but they're assuming it's not Craig) gets his hands on the family billions.

He's also of the generation who mainly say it was worse in the 80s when we nearly went out of the football league so they look at the league table and see that we're 4 points off the play-offs so now is not the time to protest.

Ha OK aye, wow i cant compete with such razor sharp sophistication

Put me on fucking ignore please ffs

Criticising my post for lacking sophistication when reading this bollocks is laughable, we need the Hemmings family to survive, they sub out running a club to Ridsdale and he's not doing a good job. Maybe we could use the money there is in a wiser fashion, maybe a strategy that could reduce our reliance on their contribution; or just stamp our feet cause them millionaires aren't meeting your expectations... 😴

Couple of the replies require a 'facepalm' especially the one from Daniel....

Certainly, because you make no fucking sense these days, and seem to love repeating the same facile points that have already been dismissed like someone having memory issues.
 
I think personally the best way would be to spend one afternoon during a normal home league game stood outside the ground.

I want Ridsdale out now, I'm sick of him and the way he speaks to supporters is an utter disgrace.

Results of this poll proves my earlier comment. We'll never get change with the fan base that we have.
