Not just us who needs new investment, people talking about this at work today . Good idea I think.

If they get enough purchases then this would look very cool (if somewhat removed from their red-white tradition)

Should Tristan Lewis still be in the background he's now got other things on his mind. Following Hayes & Yeading's 2-3 home defeat yesterday (no Benyon didn't score either) Phil Babb the manager resigned leaving Lewis in caretaker charge.

Not on property it isn't. I fill out a tax return every year on one buy to let I own, you are taxed on net rental income, which is rent recieved less expenditure on property, same applies for land.

Why couldn't any of the directors come out and said what this bloke has ? (especially latterly in the interview when acknowledging the total lack of communication and community activity).

All it would have took is for them to have removed their heads from the sand / arses and taken a look around at THEIR club and what was going on around them for months and even years. NOTHING was going on around them which was kind of the whole problem so they withdrew to the smoking room. My word, if it weren't for that saturday night and Camelot, TUFC would be well and truly ****.

Identify the issues and try and address them. If not then at the very least accept that they exist.

Unbelievable. Not only in the words of Chris Kamara but also Victor Meldrew too!

I'm not saying i trust the new bloke implicitly but at least he's got his finger on the pulse instead of somewhere it shouldn't be. Jeez.

When you say £750k year profit for 20 years however, come on, that will not ring true to anyone with an once of common sense, take into account price inflation for a start, how come if he was making £750k a year back in 1995 (don't believe that) he is still only making £750k a year in 2014/15.

Is the figure you claim, actually turnover, pre-tax or net profits ? hell of difference, where are these properties ? are they commercial or residential ?

Then take into account market fluctuations, in 1994 the UK was coming of the back of a recession in the early 1990's, residential and commercial property value was low, people were buying not renting, rent values were low as demand was low, see 2008 regards commercial property, so if this director has continued to make £750k every single year for 20 years, it's possible he's a walking property business, genius, and I want his phone number, think someone's yanking your chain, bring us the us the proof.

Anyway, pretty much all written above is irrelevant. Why should Thea, or any other director put their personal fortune, or business. livelihood, and the livelihood of others as at risk for the football club, after all isn't that why Rowe and Boyce went.
There are 2 Directors I am thinking about and I guess they are financial geniuses when compared to you and me. By the way it's Net Taxable profit, the figure you out on your tax return. Only reason I brought this up was to point out the farce of fans starting a crowd funding appeal to keep a player at the club when some directors could easily fund this on a one off basis. Don't remember saying they shouldn buy the club. FYI the Boyces are solicitor and estate agent and work for a living,not living off unearned investment income and family trust funds.

Quote from Thea in the BBC Sport report "I have no intention of walking away or stepping down without first finding a secure future for the club."

A sincere Thank You Thea, that is a massive commitment to make and is more than the other directors deserve. They will now be able to continue to hide behind your skirts.

Staying until the end of the season! Goes to show how sh*te the present handling of the club must be.
If you have ever wondered how we managed to find ourselves at the lowest point in our history, you now have your answer!

Pretty much highlights how useless the other directors must be!

Seems Kelvin Thomas is here until Thursday next week. Still it could be worse. Lincoln City are apparently the latest club in financial difficulty. Their bank - the Co-op - have called in their £380,000 loan. Supporters have started a fund to raise immediate cash but the club could go out of business according to the Non-League Football Paper.

I bet they play 4-1-3-2.
Bill Phillips did not know who the two of them were.
Still it aught to put a few on the crowd on Saturday.
Matt did you hear about it!
