| 301. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 15th Oct 2024. 00:20 You`re not living in the real world though. The fact is Ross McArthur was working for nothing. You wouldn`t get that anywhere else in the commercial world and the club would have to pay the market rate to replace him. It`s also a fact they would have paid compensation, certainly to Grant. Whether they should have employed him in the first place is another matter. Similarly with players` bonuses; given the reduced revenue in League 1 the prize money would be unlikely to cover bonuses. I don`t understand what your point is re medical bills. The fact is we had a lot of injuries and I can`t imagine our normal insurance would cover the consultants` fees. When you hear what some procedures cost patients who `go private` it`s fair to assume the medical costs we incurred last season would be excessive. Football is a very unpredictable business and financial forecasting can be a guessing game. It`s hard to imagine that successful businessmen were spending money if they could have avoided it. Reply |
| 302. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 15th Oct 2024. 07:15 The floodlights were hundreds of thousands of pounds. The tannoy system won`t have been cheap either. The key thing is we previously had volunteers doing a number of things in the club. I`ve said this a few times but you only benefit from a salaried, permanent member of staff if that means they can use that dedicated, paid time to increase revenues and/or deliver a bet product. We were very fortunate to have some massively skilled employees working for nothing or very little financial gain. Reply |

Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 15th Oct 2024. 12:10 GG Riva, Mon 14 Oct 20:51 Part of Carnegie’s story in America has been mixed up with the dynasty families who are still kicking around to this day. Him being rich and giving money to education has been conflated with him wanting to create perfect workers for his family business… ignoring the fact he gave away his family fortune only leaving enough for his wife. After she wife passed the rest of the family were kicked out of their home and ended up in an average housing estate. I know that’s the short story like but it’s the jist of it. COYP Reply |

| 308. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:32 RMGpar, Sat 2 Nov 17:20 Agreed, and it shouldn’t, but thats the way this board works. Maybe let off a little bit today but we have zero end product despite playing more attacking football. Reply |

| 310. Author: The Boss Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:35 Dave_1885, Sat 02 Nov 17:32 The board are absolutely woeful as well. I like black and white (dreaming of black and white) You like black and white Run run away Reply |
| 311. Author: The Boss Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:36 Andrew283, Sat 02 Nov 17:35 Every other club in this division would have sacked him by now. We’ve been served up utter garbage for far too long. I like black and white (dreaming of black and white) You like black and white Run run away Reply |
| 312. Author: fergie Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:37 Enough of this ****, get him out now. In a dire game today we never looked like doing anything. No other manager in any league would survive with his appalling record so stop the fannying about and get him out tonight Reply |
| 313. Author: Berry Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:39 Draw would’ve been a fairer result, thought both teams cancelled each other out most of the time. The goal felt inevitable with the height of some of their players with dead balls. Disappointed, but don’t care enough at the moment to really ruin my night. Reply |
| 314. Author: Row_ZZ Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:40 Doesn`t help when fans applaud that absolute dung either. Board will be thinking everything is rosy. Our fans are deluded. He won`t get sacked until the new board come in, which could be well after Christmas. An absolute joke and we need to stand up and make our voices be heard. "A smile might be good!" "Nothing to smile about in my life" Reply |
| 315. Author: Stozy Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:46 Surviving on the occasional outlier result. Same ponderous play and toothless attack for multiple seasons. Reply |
| 316. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:47 That’s squad is always going to struggle when your bringing on the likes of wighton and cooper when looking for a goal. Most of this team need to have a pretty good game just to look like they can live in this league. If they have an average game they look like league 1 level. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 317. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 17:55 Row_ZZ, Sat 2 Nov 17:40 To be fair, the applause at full time was fairly muted and there was the odd shout for his head 😂 a draw pre match would have been acceptable. A loss today in such a poor game though isn’t. Reply |

| 320. Author: fergie Date: Sat 2nd Nov 2024. 18:25 Only close the thread when he is gone, and as said earlier, he must go now. The longer decisions are delayed in firing him , the more he devalues the club Reply |
