Riddler statement.

Riddler statement.

Morse said:
Statement from the Riddler can roughly be interpreted as:

‘Same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old, same old ad infinitum.......

Not really much point demanding more communication from the powers that be when you already know what essentially that communication will amount to? You better just get used to it, nothing is going to change.

I think people are getting used to it. Just look at this forum, hardly any comments or chat. OK there is no news, but this didn't stop pages of speculation and guesswork in the past. Now no one even thinks it is worth speculating.
 
The club has had no income for months. The club haven’t made that up, it’s not something they’ve spun out of nothing it is a fact. Do people seriously expect them to pour more money in? All you “Same old TH bullshit” should give your collective head a wobble. There are other Championship and lower league clubs that may go out of business and you’re whining about not getting a new striker.
The club’s statement was straightforward statement of how things are. If you can’t accept that then you will vote with your feet.

my offer, in the event of reduced ground capacity, would be that every season ticket holder goes into a lottery every week for a seat at the stadium. Eve other season ticket holder would get a pass to watch the game on iFollow, with a reduced price for away games on iFollow.
Given the circumstances I would buy a season ticket on that basis. it’s a different world right now and we have to get used to it.

TV money clearly is income when the tv company televise your game.

Sometimes there is a very fine line between making it or not. We should have beaten West Ham but Nugent not being fit didn't help. We should have got past Leeds in the semis but Omerod breaking his leg after 10 mins didn't help.

So what has been the excuse for previous seasons and the persistent failure to bring in a striker. Hugill left in January 2018 and we still to this day haven’t replaced him.

Should we have replaced him at the start of last season or even in January this year, which we could surely have afforded after offloading Hugill, Robinson and Cunningham for hefty sums, we wouldn’t be going into these “unprecedented times” needing time fork out on a goal scorer.

The lack of immediate reinvestment using the money generated from players sales has come to sting us on the arse.

We didn't turn up against West Ham, simple as that, they were there for the taking but the usual flat performance, when it matters most. How often have we seen this?

You have both spectacularly missed the point.

Nowhere in my post did I criticise or say we shouldn't be greatful to have Mr. Hemmings to at this time.

Neither did I "have a pop at your support."

What I do take exception to is your constant bashing of supporters who support the club to the best of their ability. You are constantly belittling supporters.

Yet again you state, why don't fans cough up £1000 each? You mean just like the share issues? When we got a pittance back in return when TJH took over the club.

Yet I am sure that if the optertunity arouse for part fan ownership again fans would step up the plate.

There are fans clamoring to buy season tickets, shirts and the like. Fans pushed the club to licence the terrace so they could support them.

At the present time we cant attend matches but I can assure if football fans could never return our club and football as a whole would die.

As I've said before. Many football fans have put in a higher percentage of our disposable income into supporting our club than the owner. If many of us where billioanires... yes a billionaire we would do what Hemmings does, infact many would do even more.

Yes support the owner but please stop belittling the contribution we all (yourself included) have made and will continue to make for decades to come.

I am a little at a loss to understand who and in what way I am ‘beliitling’ Anyone?

Previous contributions in finance and assistance are very commendable but of no use going forwards, we are looking at the future to survive, this club has lived on history long enough.

The only reason this club is SAFELY looking through this pandemic is because of THs financial clout. Some will prattle on about him protecting his investment etc but if that’s the case thank god he is. There are boardrooms in this country in panic mode with accountants trying to find ways to survive, and I’m talking some big outfits.

But if you think that me having a go at certain posters who whinge and whine about everything under the heading of wanting to see the club do better then I guess I’m guilty, and quite happy to be so.

It’s a luverly day, keep smiling......

Would love to see your source or any sort of evidence to this or is it just "a feeling" you are trying to pass off as fact?

I think he is just basing it on Peter's statement on Friday and trying to pass it off as his own inside knowledge.

So what you are saying is that fans contributions are no longer relevant going forwards?

I don't think anyone at PNE or in the IOM would agree with you on that one.

Ive supported and paid into this club for over 55 years. I can honestly say i have never thought of my contributions in any way other than paying an admission price to watch something I enjoy.

When i bought shares that was a different matter, that was to support the club financially in the hope theyd progress.

"Please can we have one more striker is wearing a bit thin now, lots of clubs have invested in £5 million strikers and big loan wages. Why would we suddenly turn into a top 2 team?. As much as we all want the Premier league there is no magic bullet.
I think Paddy and the Hemmings out minority has now been blown out of the water. I think we all know we are fortunate to have Hemmings financial backing.
