Lets see how many wrong articles there are in the press about us and football


Posted Mon 14/9/2020:

Rubbish journalism again, this time from the Mail Online Richard Gibson suggesting that we are going to sell Cantwell, EMI and Godfrey due to relgation and COVID hitting our revenues last season and this.

Utter b*!

The mainly unused £20m transfer kitty covered the costs of COVID last season
and we have enough money this season (before the Lewis sale) to cover our transfers in and the disclose d £3m COVID contingency (I suspect they may need more)

If any of the above mentioned players go between now and the close of the window its because of the players want to go and/or the club will sell for the fee offered and not because we are desperate for the cash.

The bottom of the article refers to the club having 30% of the business.




The land was leased for 150 years to a Joint Venture (JV.) that the club had 30% of. That JV in turn leased the hotel for 35 years. However the JV. went into administration and the club now has 0% of the JV. So in effect the club has leased land for 150 years in return for £1.1m.

That sounds pretty poor...
