Riddler statement.

In late 70s I went to watch Wigin on a freezing Boxing Day when our game was postponed....they were in the Northern Premier league......since then they’ve reached the Prem and won the FA Cup so don’t pitch their suffering to ours.

Just saying things could be a lot worse and we have no woes really do we

Some seriously unreal twats showing up on here.

Incomings. Absolutely fuck all.

Outgoings. Fucking loads.

Under previous owners we would have had the administrators in by now, but people are complaining about signings etc etc.

Get fucking real you assholes.....

Over the next few months it’s likely many clubs will hit a financial wall, it may even be difficult to finish the season if it goes really bad if so many clubs go to the wall.

Many major businesses are on survival strategy for the next 2/3 years, not about development.

Serious talks are on between with Sky and other broadcasters and football as they struggle to make the sums add up as advertising income is being drastically reduced.

Get real you lot.

Only thing I would question (if that's ok with you), if money is so tight, why are we releasing youth talent so freely? Seems odd.

In addition, this current situation could be looked at as a time of real opportunity e.g. with other clubs struggling, if we are such a well run club we could use this situation to our advantage.

But I guess I'm just a twat and bow down to your superior intellect. 🙄

Exactly
Is that not what the bleating masses have been wanting?
Now they’ve got it
Digest and enjoy the fact that we are in a good cash situation
We have an owner who is happy to pour money into the club
We have a history many would envy
And
We are Preston North End
Onwards
Upwards
And here’s to a striker who might score the odd goal!!!!

Pretty disrespectful. You're talking about paying customers, dedicated fans, many of whom have been season ticket holders for decades but who have the temerity to question the owner's intentions/ambitions.

Forget what Riddler said, its statements like this that will bring the fans together...

Jeez.

They aren’t fans, just permanently whinging bastards......nothing is ever right.......nothing is ever enough.......be nice to see them chuck a few grand in each to keep the club going, just a pittance compared to what TH is currently funding the club with.........but not a chance of that, they are more than happy saying how other people can spend their money but you wouldn’t get 50p out of them.

At this moment in time fans like that will not the keep the club in existence .......TH will, thankfully.

There will be meetings in football board rooms all over this country with owners panicking like fuck, money is going to get really tight, and foreign investment will dry up totally for several years.

Perfectly fine Tugg.

No superior intellect, just simple accounting.......

What is currently happening is absolutely like nothing which has happened in the last 60 years, or in the last 100 years.....things could be terminal for some clubs in this current situation, ridiculous to compare it I feel.

Well put euro to many on here will never be happy what ever the club does.
Even if they got free season tickets some would think Trev was making a killing out of it 😂😂😂
 
It’s a fair statement. Our financial status is secure. We will continue to have a club to support whilst TH is at the helm. That remains my number priority. I will watch North End anywhere and everywhere.

Of course I’d like the Riddler to have said we expect to capitalise on our financial stability whilst others struggle and make a big push for the premier league , but that was never going to be the case.

The same people who moaned about TH stating our aim was pushing for the premier league after the play off win , or the ” false promises” of the ambassador scheme, will now be the same people complaining about the lack of ambition in the latest statement.

There are lots of things I’d do differently if I was in TH position with his money. But I ain’t, and I haven’t. And that’s the be all and end all of it. I am realistic enough to know that whilst I don’t like everything that he does, the alternative is extremely scary if, like me, your no.1 priority is to have a club to support. Playing at this level and visiting the grounds we do is a massive bonus when you’ve spent years visiting ground that aren’t even in the EFL now.

I welcome the commitment to improved communication. Particularly if it leads to more frankness and honesty about our plight. However be prepared for many not to renew due to the “lack of ambition”.

I'm struggling with your use of the word 'they', as though you don't view yourself as one of the fans. Does your ability to take an analytical view make you superior to these other fans?

No, it does not, you're just an unreal twat like the rest of us.
 
Statement aside, how do PNE know that the other teams in the division are not paying Inland Revenue - I can’t see clubs advertising this.
Removes a bit of credibility from the statement.
 
That's fine but it makes keeping Alex Neil even more important, if we lose key players and go for an unproven manager I'd fear us.

I would say some bad managers and lack of funds have been responsible. Even with lot of funds there's no guarantee to make it to the Premiership. Don't forget we made it to the playoffs final twice so we have been very close.

I think you will find the silent Majority support how TH is running the club through these difficult times .
Most of those are season ticket holders like me.
To many come on here to just have a moan and never attend matches.

In the cold light of day we are a very sound football club progressing slowly but progressing in the last few years whilst certain clubs have fallen and more may follow I the future, slowly slowly catch a monkey is our approach and the sooner we all accept that the better or we'll be struggling again
