BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Whether he cut costs will be never known. Yes, he got rid of people but that's not the same thing. How much were Ashley's companies going to charge for performing the services for us? I don't recall anything that was done that suggested any sort of independence from Ashley. Llambias's actions, from the £5m loan deal to the instructions that we had to play Newcastle players showed that he was in Ashley's pockets. I'm not sure why it is up to King to prove otherwise when Llambias's own actions prove it. It is up to anyone else to prove otherwise. Staff cuts are a classic way of saving money, whether the cuts that were made were appropriate at the time is another matter. You know better than most that it will be up to whoever challenges previous director's decisions to prove that they did not act in the best interests of the company or that they had a conflict of interests. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Question is, how many jobs could we have paid for with the money for the EGM and L&L pay-off demands? What's that £340k? Say 20 part-time jobs for a year? I agree that it was extremely odd that they decided to proceed with the EGM (and as I read somewhere also the two in London on the 4th) but I can only assume that they had advice that the EGM had to take place as constituted even if the result was already known. Again, King said he would hold them personally responsible for the costs and it will be up to him to prove that they were ill-advised. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Could you find another way to put that without falsly accusing me of being dishonest. Your either being dishonest or stupid and you will never convince me it's the later. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the cuts save money though. The only person I know who was made redundant was rehired with a pay rise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 There is literally no way that lambias and co haven't increased our deficit. It's also hard to.believe they reduced costs when even hiring them required the unnecessary pay offs of their predecessors costing hundreds of thousands. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,145 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Cutting costs is fine and should actually be welcomed alongside any reasonable efficiency savings. I hope Kingco do the same - in fact they must. However, cutting profit at the same time and removing our share of it out the back door via a bizarre agreement with 'Rangers' Retail is less agreeable and it's actions like that along with the refusal to resign while treating fans like mugs that make them less than befitting of an executive position at the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point but equally you weren't the biggest fan of their predecessors now were you? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Your either being dishonest or stupid and you will never convince me it's the later. I think that comes into the category of backhanded compliments but I'll accept it nonetheless. Edited March 10, 2015 by BrahimHemdani 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never allowed to do what was best. They weren't the change we needed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
