[quote user="blahblahblah"]You have to wonder what QPR are trying to achieve.  With their billionaire investors, I can only assume that they want to launder cash through a mid-table championship team.[/quote]You might think that - I couldn''t possibly comment![;)]Honestly, what must QPR fans be thinking? All that money and apparently zero ambition. Surely he wasn''t appointed for his sexy, flowing football?

I''m surprised you want to work for the spawn of Satan.Oh well...

I said Football League Butler, but some in the Promised Land are reliant on handouts from owners too.Yes, the Club has made a profit in some years but if you check I think you''ll find that certain monies have also been put into the Club in the same period by the major (not necessarily majority) shareholders.Football business is a hobby of mine (I know, you don''t have to say it!!! [8-)]) and in all honestly I can''t think of a single club in the FL who don''t rely on their owners. Yes, some do manage to walk away with a few quid - Sheffield Wednesday springs to mind - but not many and perhaps some of them don''t realise how dodgy this football investment game is when they go into it. That''s down to poor due diligence though and a whole other story!

Good stuff Badger - I had just written something similar myself to pop in the envelope.As far as I''m aware the NCST were going to contact Michael Foulger to ask if he would match any money ST holders took as their rebate but reinvested via the Trust, so much along the lines you''re asking for.

That last post was to CA obviously.WAY - you and Wiz spent a day last week telling everyone how you knew a secret something before anyone else did about Foulger and his money. You said you hadn''t spelled it out on here but had PM''d various people with this knowledge. Does that sound like a secret to you?Belittle anyone? I don''t need to.

That really does take the biscuit!I have no vendetta against NCISA per se - I just wish it was a more fully inclusive supporters association instead of what we currently have. Think about it. A club that has been struggling for stability and form for 4/5 years and all NCISA can muster in its current form is what, 500 or so members out of a season ticket base of 20,000 and another at least 20,000 fans who can''t have STs for one reason or another. Does that sound like something appealing? I wonder why.As for Tilly, I have no vendetta against him. He made it very obvious from the moment he first met me that he didn''t like me and the more I see the more I don''t like him. Sneaking around in my Facebook account just reeks of the kind of childish attitude I''d expect quite frankly.Do something constructive? Yes. I do. Thanks. Tell me what you''re doing other than bleating on here?

[quote user="Mello Yello"][quote user="LQ"]I see.So you say "I know a secret - if you want to know it too PM me" then sit back and wait for the eager responces?Wow.I''m glad I haven''t got any...[8-|] [/quote] You just might have some eager ponces though?..... [/quote]There''s always plenty of those unfortunately...

Just out of interest Butler can you name a single club in the Football League that doesn''t need subsidising by its owners?

Come on then CA, I''ve got nothing else to do for a few minutes while I digest your reply...How are you going to ''remove'' the rest of the Board?

I see.So you say "I know a secret - if you want to know it too PM me" then sit back and wait for the eager responces?Wow.I''m glad I haven''t got any...[8-|]

No-one told me that.

Argh!You just beat me to it MF.Perhaps next time there''s a rumour about how and when Michael Foulger comes into some spare cash to throw into the bottomless pit Wiz and WAY could remember to ''pm'' Tilson about it so he doesn''t make strange comments in the press about how all this should have been done last January?Just a thought!

Exeter have played some nice football since Paul Tisdale got stuck in and have rightly done the back to back promotion thing.Still, if this fxture upsets you so much surely it''s all the more important to give us the best possible chance of going straight back up?

As would any media - it''s the most obvious trick in the book (no offence!)[;)]

Well he was certainly the one who picked me up on using that quote ''selectively''.Funny thing was that I just used what was printed in the press - he insisted that part of the quote should have been "within the boundaries of the law" or some such. Shows how careful you have to be I suppose when you''ve got the invited media hoardes present!

[quote user="jas the barclay king"][quote user="city4eva"][quote user="jas the barclay king"] [quote user="jbghost"]Direct Debit payers are not getting a refund. They get the chance of reduced payments for rest of year.[/quote] that isnt true... and if it is then im cancelling my direct debit and taking the money.. B****ks to the board! jas :) [/quote]   I dont know if it is true or not, havent had my letter. I pay by DD and cant see any difference to a lump sum or the equivalent monthly reductions.   Why do you have such an issue with it     [/quote]because the money "has all been budgeted for" and i need it for something now.... reducing monthly payments makes no difference to me.... jas :) [/quote]How can they give you back money you haven''t even paid yet?It''s simple, if you pay by installments you''ll get the rebate in the same way.

Eh?

I remember that court case - it was a corker!What''s ironic about it is that some of the posts that were apparently so objectionable to Mr Allen are more than commonplace across the various NCFC sites and are certainly more vitriolic.

[quote user="Sports Desk - Pete"]If it helps, the quotes from John Tilson were taken on Thursday morning, before the NICSA committee meeting.[/quote]He was pretty confident that the rest of the NCISA committee wouldn''t be swayed by this astonishingly poor gesture* then eh? *that was sarcastic in case no-one realised!

I know - I was in a friend''s seat for the home game against Charlton (league) and found myself sat next to him!He kicked every ball!![:)]

He''s instinctive as a player and a person, doesn''t take any silliness and isn''t afraid to speak his mind.On the football knowledge front that does it for me!

Read Mrs Dalloway then walk the dog?[;)]

It''s only fanciful if you want to believe it to be.The campaign for Hux to be a fan on the Board starts here!![:D]

You''re right of course.Is this ok? I know a secret and I''m not telling anyone and I don''t care if I get PM''d (sounds painful!!!)[:P]

Why are you limiting it?Why say someone with business prowess or someone with a great attitude to football?Why not say "both"?As long as both are committed to working with whoever happens to hold the most shares (because that can change at any point) in a positive and constructive manner that''s a step or two forward imo. New ideas, new attitudes and a new beginning - that''s what this Club needs now. We all need a reason to see this as a turning point not as part of a decline anymore.
