Posted new thread to bring it all together (feel free to add)

New PR out thread is ridiculous, he is certainly not in charge of the purse strings. THIS IS NOT A DEFENCE OF HIM (before I get slated) but he is on the FA board and has knowledge and is valuable to the club. Finances are dictated by the owners not PR.

My understanding is that the budget for the club was set prior to TH’s unfortunate death. That budget was set for a few years as succession planning, who knows what will happen at the end of that? May end up like Bury?

I have some knowledge of how the family works and everything will be in place for now (whether good or bad for us as fans).

I bought a season ticket this year, first one since I was a junior when I saw saville and Wilkinson together! My son has one (9) 2 mates have one for the first time in 20 years.

I genuinely thought that there would be a surprise today, Archer or something, anything?!? I thought that due to the marketing campaign on the season tickets and the interaction with this forum and others there would be something to excite the fans.

So, I reckon the club is struggling with cash flow due to:
1. No cash in the club as it doesn’t make money
2. Any injection of cash now being more difficult after TH death

In summary despite the above I am North End, I can’t be anything else. No Billionaire on the horizon. Let’s get behind what we have.

TH's fortune was a lot more than some thought, Football clubs dont tend to be profitable in the championship at least, all these teams spending big money hoping for promotion which does not happen because of players not working out or bad managing. The group we have is good but we dont have enough up top, Riis can be fantastic and i will back north end but even just a loan would have dobe tonight.
 
Craig could put his hand into his own pocket, his Dad gave him a vast amount of cash only a few years ago, and I mean vast, twice what Simon Jordan was worth when he took over Palace, don’t be fooled by the talk that the Hemmings family are not cash rich
