chippysauce Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Buzzing to hear Budge's plans. Hopefully it'll all become clear next week. I very much doubt there are plans other than maintaining the status quo, since there's no money to make plans. Would be very happy to be proved wrong though.

Questy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Would be nice if true, seems a bit quick Not really, when you consider that the 27th (Sunday) is the deadline day for any Objections from UKIO and that there is no turning back from UBIG, means if No objections from UKIO then we are all systems go to finalise the paperwork too take over our club( Well BIDCO are for the time being), Come the close off play tomorrow(Friday) you can safely say we are on the go.

jambo191 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Locke continues on this winning streak and it will be very difficult for Budge to get rid. Correct. And why should she? Although Locke made alot of errors at the start of the season, I have certainly been impressed on the tail end. He seems to have finally, albeit a little too late, found the winning formula and had got these lads playing for him. Locke could, could, become one of our greatest managers of all time. Let's give him a real chance when all this mess is over and he is left to concentrate on the pitch side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'd imagine The ?1m+ FoH contributions saved so far will be invested asap. Season tickets would also go on sale sharpish. Football debts, some BDO costs (not their fees) will come out of that leaving a few hundred thousand to see us through until ST income comes in, and of course there will be ongoing FoH income of ?120k a month or so. There will be no big spending spree but enough to get a new manager and a couple of experienced pros. Enough to compete anyone in the second division.

topcat Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Would be nice if true, seems a bit quick Bryan Jackson did say the end of this month was the earliest possible target so this could technically be true It looks to me like the EEN are running this spin knowing that if it doesn't come off at the first possible date they've then got the "BDO fails to get deal done on Monday, Jambos frustrated by fresh delay" story they can run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaganator Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 There are always delays. I suspsect there will be some here. Nothing critical, or sinister - but there will be a delay - I am sure of it. I am sure any delay wont come from our end either. Fingers crossed though.

Francis Albert Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i know their fees come out of the CVA, but what other costs could have been accrued?? I think costs other than their fees - expenses such as travel, accommodation, copying and printing - someone estimated ?100,000 on top of their fixed fee of ?325,000, to be borne out of the club's working capital (ie FoH's initial ?1m contribution) not (like the ?325,000) out of CVA proceeds.

No need for a big spending spree just maybe 2 decent players brought in to bolster the back four. The way things are going up front way may get away the current players.

Let's give him a real chance when all this mess is over and he is left to concentrate on the pitch side of things. Seriously? Wow! We've started winning games which is absolute brilliant and I'm as stoked about it as the next guy but come on, the pressure is off now which is allowing the laddies to play with more freedom. Every pressure must win game we played this season(excluding the recent derby)we lost or drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things are going up front way may get away the current players. A couple of wins against poor teams and everyone starts thinking everything is rosy in the garden. We need 6 or 7 players to make a sustained push for promotion next season. Not just the defence, but the midfield and attack need strengthened too, or we'll be lucky to make the play offs.

The Gasman Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Bit disrespectful to call her 'Budge' imo. Possibly more disrespectful to treat her differently just because she's female.

An experienced centre back two strikers Skacel Grainger maybe another centre mid The problem early in the season was playing players out of position 1 in particular Paterson. Since the early season we now have players who have matured quite nicely and are turning in to regulars. Holt and Walker are back and Holt looking very good. I appreciate the level of opponent may now have dropped but we can still compete with the big boys and more so now. Squad size also went against us when we were never able to rest players like McHattie and Stevenson. IMO 2 or 3 experienced players brought in and some of the younger guys like King coming good and thats all we will need for the championship. On top of that we need to live within our means that is paramount for the foreseeable future. Edit: cue Mrs (Ms) Budge and her competent management.
