Riddler statement.

JK the only caveat to that is Preston North End is surviving without it's supporters right now, that's why I can't be over critical of Hemmings at present, we simply can't survive without him. That's the truth.

I've never disputed that tcinders, despite euro's Cummingseqsue spin machine i have not really been critical of TJH on this thread.

What i dispute is the ridiculous notion that supporters previous and future contributions are suddenly irrelevant.

A lifetime financial commitment? It’s Hemmings choice that he now has to pay the money that it costs to run a team, no one forced him to buy PNE. Except his vision of a quick cheap purchase.

Anyone buying shares, as Hemmings did, does so knowing the risk, are you in some sort of fantasy world Europne?

You are correct but he could choose to run the club in League two requiring little personal financial input. He instead has decided to spend very heavily and establish a top end championship club for the folk of this town to enjoy. As I've said in previous posts this is probably as good as it gets for a small town club so enjoy it while you can.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but is this a clever statement implying to potential buyers we won't pay much so they don't up their prices?

I like your lateral thinking but I don't concur. Everyone in British Isles football knows our transfer policy already. No need to state it.
the message is aimed at the fans - our strategy is keep a float and hope the other ships capsize.

Would you describe Burnley as a big city?!!!
 
Another way of looking at his statement is that he thinks we’ll be able to sign lots of good players released at the end of their contracts because the other clubs simply can’t afford to keep them...

I know- but I wonder if we might see not many contract renewals right now, but see lots go through once it becomes clear to players that the market is going to be really really tough. It’ll be interesting for players like Bodin etc where they are v expensive for salary capped league 1/2 whether they’ll agree to reduced terms in the championship...

For what it's worth, I'd keep him, if he can sort his injury problems out. Quick feet an good close control. Something, our front men don't seem so good at. Holding the ball up

I wouldn’t worry about it as it is only a notion of a minute minority

Some fans are unhappy with the owner and how he runs the club which is a valid opinion/ argument.
Meanwhile down the road at the DW stadium Wigan Atheletic are in administration after the new owner bailed out, they are struggling to attract a new owner to take the reigns.
The Wigan fans are distraught as their much lauded academy is being dismantled and their young talent disappearing for next to nothing,
18 year old star Geldhardt has gone to Leeds £1 million and now they are back for promising winger Sean Mcgurk with a £30,000 bid!
Just imagine ......

See, there we go! Mate, I didn't mention Wigan! I asked Taxi Pete, who really does need to get a taxi, would he describe Burnley as a big city? What happened at Wigan was freakish shall we say in the extreme. The owner, or one of them puts a bet on his club, an then does a runner! I mean, like this happens every week?!! No it doesn't, but we are quick to use Wigan as the latest disaster

Unfortunately, these are facts in football happening now you can't get away from the pandemic and likelihood that as a club we are heavily reliant on the owner who like him or not is the clubs security at the moment

here is another fact, players are paid far too much, reduce this single cost and abolish agents fees to keep budgets under control, yet so many just ignore this and pander to the whim and fancy of these overpaid arseholes.

Because Wigan IS the latest disaster, and it is a big one. Watch the queue of vultures sitting on the fence to steal - and they are stealing - their players as tcinders pointed out. Where is the queue to help them out or buy them out?

To be frank, anyone who would want PNE to pass from the safe -if unspectacular- ownership of TH to any unknown quantity at this of all times is a reckless fool (with someone else’s money of course) and no friend of the club.

The is always a time to stick and a time to twist, and this is very much a time to stick and see what the future holds if and when the world gets back into some form of order

The blame for the current situation at Wigan lies solely at the door of the EFL.

How have they approved an owner who 4 weeks later places them in admin.

Morning Billy,
These overpaid arseholes are paid by our overly rich arsehole of an owner without our contributions at the moment, so not sure where we go from here!!

seems a simple solution throughout football, pay the players less and reduce the costs, quite simple really and I am sure once league 1 and 2 clubs return this will be their attitude/need.
