Quasimodo is more likely.

All I know of it was a mate from work had it and got slower Internet speeds than dial up, they then put everything in his way to stop him cancelling. He had to put up with it for a year until he could get out of it.

Surely not, they'd never do that would they?

Pud doesnt like how this goes, Pud will back away now.

Why no reserve games? Cynical answer: Once they realised they could save the next 3 million they decided they wanted to do that regardless, playing him in the reserves could have shown him as a good player then they would have had to field questions as to why he wasnt getting in the 1st team. Honest answer: Not a clue!

Its whichever one works best to shut the masses up at the time.

I dont think he did pay 2.7m with the view not to play him, I think Xisco didnt appear as good as they thought so they're not going to pay more than they have to. Good business sense on one hand yet on the other how can Xisco prove himself otherwise. Swings and roundabouts on that one I do know however that if it is true and hes the only striker we have then he should be played regardless. whether he held them back or not though, the accounts are placating people. Im no accountant at all so have no understanding how long it takes to sort these things out but it has to be said the timing couldnt be better for Ashley. And hes not selling card details to a nigerian prince.................... its an east end geezah. They realised he was rubbish and are trying not to spend anymore money on him till we can get rid in the summer. The blame of which lies firmly at Wises door, something which again shows the futility of the whole KK mess.

whey aye Dorien!

Oh yeah?

Like the timing of the release of the accounts information. Exactly, someone somewhere two or three months ago said "accounts are cooked I mean ready, I'll send em to Companies House"...."woooahh hold on geezah, send em in mid January when Im deflecting flak for not buying anyone".

The cynic in me says this is leading the way for a sale this week. Get people realising how expensive hes been and still will be for the rest of the season after we've just been told how in the shit the club is and there will be less fight when hes sold. Then again maybe I just always see the worst in this club.

So if thats the case then whats this? filed at companies house on 25/11/08. No amounts on there but that is definitely a mortgage according to my totally non accountant eye. And in case anyone wants to think that Ive just photoshopped these then it can be easily found on Companies House at the same place as the accounts were.

Can anyone confirm that basically what these accounts are saying is that we dont have any debts to a bank? Mortgages, that sort of thing have been cleared and we now only owe Ashley?

welcome aboard did you need new glasses n'all?

Yep and as Tom says that could not happen with KK here, any media circus/ witchhunt would be tenfold the next time.

I think a huge reduction in ST sales and the like will prove that theres a problem. Personally though I'd prefer to kick it off beforehand, that way we have a chance of him coming to his senses in time to plan things properly pre-season.

Maybe, but important nontheless as it defeats the purpose of the whole excercise Totally 100% agree but what I mean is that unless we actually go out and buy peoples STs off them for the day then its difficult to stop Joe Bloggs thinking that he cant really afford to go to the pub for two hours unless he sells his ticket to someone for 20notes so hes got beer money.

And I agree, which is where the much maligned NUSC comes in, the organisation would be taken on by them, creation and distribution of leaflets would come down under their costs, their responsibility to develop and distribute etc. I dont think leaflets however would be the answer (although they may be needed for stragglers) as if people are already outside SJP and ready to go in then they're unlikely to turn around and go to the pub. We would need to get people into the mindset of missing the game way before the day. The not handing ticket over to a mate would be a difficult one although I think offering cheaper drink packages on production of your ST would definitely help.

This is why I don't go to NUSC meetings! peasepud and his incessant management speak! Pud loves Hoisting things up the flagpole to see who salutes. The next home game after the meeting is two and a half weeks later against Everton on Sky. Plenty of time to publicise whatever action is decided on and have it noticed by a wide audience. I'll gladly stay in the pub for it. See, you half joked there but just missing the game isnt a visible protest however filling the pubs with "sit ins" would be, banners out of windows, every bar full etc etc. Im sure if organised right you could get pubs to put specials on, lay on food, reduced price beer maybe to anyone with a season ticket that sort of thing.

This is why I don't go to NUSC meetings! peasepud and his incessant management speak! Im sure if you just touched base with us once or twice then we could get some good thought showers going.

Hankies, coffins, armbands. This is the reason I dont go to NUSC meetings. Maybe I was brought up a little more left wing/working class but we arent fucking disagreeing with the price of bagels at the golf club. We need to be thinking more Miners Strike of 84, radical times call for radical actions. People seem qite happy to let us go down as long as it means not having to miss a match this season. I fucking despair i do! You really are one of the biggest cockends around arent you? You've already stated that you wouldnt go to the meeting because there may be some mongs there (your words not mine). Now you're giving reasons for not backing the NUSC as the fact some people when discussing possibilities of things mentioned stuff you didnt agree with. Its called throwing ideas around, brainstorming, toss an idea onto the table and then see how it evolves. As for the last sentence, are you seriously knocking those of us that are doing something? Making out that we're happy to see the club go down rather than do something radical? In the words of Baggio, you couldnt make it fucking up. What was the first things said in the original post? whats the actual idea of this meeting? I'll tell you what it is, its to see what the majority of those that do want to make a difference, (those that arent scared to stand in a room with people who may not be to their liking and make their voice heard) think should be done and would work.

Even just the entire ground standing up would do it. Problem is though that if you are going to have a demonstration at the game then you do need to be aware of those that dont want to demonstrate. Standing is a problem regardless and if those behind me (for the next 14 rows ) dont want to stand then the protest is going to piss them off.

No, three steak bakes and a sausage roll....
