in case you didn't know, their ownership has changed. jenkins no longer calls the shots.
it's not hypocritical to claim they were well run, and now aren't.
we shouldn't be closed off to the possibility that we can take pointers from how other clubs are run. we aren't all 5 year olds here.

yes it changed.
suggest you reffer to Huws statement about why they sold. it certainly was not because they had been running the model club.
your correct about us not being 5 year olds ,Roaths agenda based drivel was transparent to anyone with a mental age above that age .

They may have sold a couple of years ago but he's been on a salary of half a million a year to assist in runing the club on behalf of the absentee owners. He surely he cant now claim he's had no influence or was the salary part of a reward for allowing the original stitch up, if indeed thats what occurred.
Given the income thats gone into that club in recent years, its almost beyond belief that things have got so bad so quickly. Why were they needing to barrow against future income when they had an average monthly income of getting on for 10 million ? I thought they were going to stop clubs borrowing against TV income and parachut payments in particular after the Portsmouth fiasco.
How deeply their in the shit we dont really know, but the signs aren't good. If they've borrowed heavily on future income which is now in rapid decline, then the chances of receiving further investments / loans from their existing owners or anywhere looks pretty bleak.
They moved a few high earners off the wage book in the tranfer window but brought in no capital. They're current desperation for instant cash resembles that of a Town Hill junky needing this mornings fix. Is the till at the liberty that empty ? could we see difficulty in meeting their wage or tax obligations in the coming months. ? Is administration round the corner ? The next 6 months is critical for them but baring a miracle promotion the very best they can hope for is that it doesn't get any worse.
