Zappa 0 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Some interesting comments on the main site for the author to deal with... Cheers Frankie. I thought this would go down like a lead balloon, but the replies are all positive. I should point out that there's a mistake in the piece regarding the "140 days" as I intended to write "140 weeks" and missed the error when editing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,187 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 No, none at all. I liked the article and think most people appreciate the message - despite not all agreeing obviously. More please! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I noted the following section from Malcolm Murray's statement about the appointment of Craig Mather as CEO today: I want to make it clear we are in a healthy position financially following the successful flotation of the company in December last year. I would also like to assure all of the supporters that this money is being used for the benefit of the Club and nothing or no one else. Malcolm Murray would do well to remember that the fans were given assurances before the flotation that the cash raised would NOT be frittered away on cash flow issues caused by running costs. That IPO cash is going to be gone before we're back in the top flight on bridging running cost shortfalls alone if the club doesn't do something quickly to reduce it's cost structure and monthly bills. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,878 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Reflecting on this piece, which was excellent (cheers Zappa, pal), I thought back to my post a few weeks ago regarding the need for Green to set out clearly his strategies beyond sound bites and apparently strange decisions. Seems to me, that Green was simply working his ticket rather expertly. And bringing it back full circle, what skills and experience does Craig Mather have to carry out an extensive value for money review of the club, and the inevitable cuts that would ensue? I'm not convinced. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say some of the money would be used for working capital purposes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
