kilroyslefteyebrow 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Nice to see that the retard knows how to use the ''copy'' and ''paste'' functions on his laptop. All of this can be found in anything else he has ever written. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Well theres been plenty of spin relating to NCFC.Time for ND. to cut those overheads further such as the £800k+ relating to travelling, accommodation etc. Its not just about the player budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Brockes 145 Posted April 16, 2009 Blast! That man has cost me a fiver today. I had a bet with a mate that the article this week would be along the lines of ''Why prudence with ambition will prevent us from doing a Southampton''. Bet it will be one week but maybe not until after their situation is resolved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0ridgemanddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Whilst reading the article I thought that the point still has not sunk in with this man the way forward is with a successful football team off the field income is secondary to a winning team. A winning team will generate even more off the field revenue.Mr Doncaster - football first, first, first and then the club can move forward. Make the club proactive not reactive.

whoareyou? 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Does he want a ****** medal for doing this? He doesn''t asnwer them just replies with another one line question!As many readers will know, I receive (and reply to) many, many emails from supporters who ask questions on a huge range of matters - from football finance, to overall club strategy, to why I was pictured smiling after our defeat at Blackpool (the answer, incidentally, is that the picture was actually taken before the kick-off). But one area that I continue to receive dozens of letters and emails about is how the club is being affected by the current economic downturn.Incidentally we could save some money by getting shot of him...he is the root of all the club''s problems!Close the door behind you on you way out please, Doncaster![:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
