Yes Malcolm. They certainly seems to be flashing the cash about, on the field and off. I thought the intention was to press the reset button.Doesn't look that has happened so far. In fact quite the opposite.
On the Pitch, Jo is apparently prepared to support the playing budget to ensure the team is competitive (that sounds worryingly like the Cleeve Philosophy).
Off the pitch, Marriott's Warehouse and Mem's Kitchen treat for the squad and the Hangers on won't have come cheap!
Why they needed that I don't know, especially as they now have a full time Chef for the players. Two meals a day. Good work if you can get it!
The income from the big Commercial deals won't last long at this rate. Has anyone told Bal about the cold Tuesday winters nights and what can happen to the gate numbers (although in fairness, Jo did witness that personally)?
Or what if we get a bad winter (been lucky on that one in recent years)? Stash it away. Don't be tempted to spend it as soon as it comes in.
That's unless Bal has located and unlocked the £1 admission fee that was "ring fenced" by The Chairman (from memory, in an attempt to justify an increase to admission prices). Any report on that one Bal, or was the money paid by the supporters collected under false pretenses? Must be a few Grand there now!
Bal has access to the inner workings now. Maybe he'll let his stakeholders know exactly whats been going on.
And, just who was the anonymous Stand Sponsor?
Cheer up!!!
