Royal Biscuitman Royal Lady Last week the club parted company with its commercial director in an attempt to cut costs.
^^ This is actually quite pitiful. I wonder how much they are saving on this poor bloke's salary - not enough for the accountants to even notice I shouldn't wonder...
Plus, in the short term at least it probably cost them more as they would presumably have paid severance/redundancy costs.... so costing them more cash when there is a cash tax bill due.
I suggest the board members/chairman sacrifice their salaries first as they've not done enough to earn them by allowing things to get into this state.
They should sack their PR team, although to be fair, I doubt Sir John would listen to any experts employed to advise him on talking to the media as he doesn't always come across well and now that word has got out about the club being in financial troubles that's going to make sponsors think twice about handing money over and suppliers all the more eager to get what they are rightfully owed.
Or it's a PR masterstroke
With so many clubs on the market, you need to look like a bargain and an 'easy' sale
Many of the other clubs up for sale will have debts larger than ours, but will be covering it up to look "healthy"
We look like the 'poorly' wildebeest so get consumed first leaving the others to continue their life of fear and worry
