Putting our house in order

Wed Dec 02, 2015 10:47 pm

Followed the board for years, good to get on a have a chat. Not going to rock any boats or put noses out of joint, but it'd be interesting to see your opinions on whether VT is moving forward ( albeit slowly) in his bid to make us the viable business he says is required to get us back on the straight and narrow.

Performances have been disappointing, and gone are the days of plenty which we've been accustomed to for the last 13 years or so. Not much to get excited about these days, but I've been there in the dungeon where we were a team of absolute nobody's who would lose far more games than we'd win in front of meagre crowds.

If someone could tell me that our current state on the pitch, no transfer fees, low wages, and loaning out or selling high earners Is doing any good financially, then right now I'd take that.

Are we really saving any money though, or reducing debt? Are the cut backs short term pain for long term gain?

If not, then where do we go from here? If there is light at the end of the tunnel, then I think we should give our full support to what is trying to be achieved. Not really a Slade fan, but given what he has been told to achieve I have to say I'm more than impressed with what he's been able to do.

Any new owner will need to have ambition, not blind ambition. Will Tan hand over a club that is on the up financially if not on the up on the pitch? Will he however hand over a club teetering on the edge?

Great post I think this 3 to 5 plan that Choo said could either be to make the club sellable or this a new structure that Tan is putting into place with taking adavantage of his European links and make our club competing while not spending the Earth.
