These owners have never taken any money OUT of the club BTW. Only ever put money IN.

If they no longer have any, then we will have to survive from income alone. Why would we as fans make that income less than it already is?

With how my finances are at present, me putting in £370 for a season ticket is probably no different to Mr Al Jasmi putting a £1M on the table to pay this months wages.
If he can’t be arsed telling us what is going on and how he is going to sort this whole mess out, then they can bugger off.
They are not having a penny off me until I have a guarantee from him that everything is sorted out.
I have watched the Latics for 56 years, and been a season ticket ticket holder for over 30 years and have never once wavered, but this has pushed me to the brink after everything we have been through.

Be honest horc…you’ll be there. We all will. It’s in the blood.

We’re all angry now and with reason, but once that new season gets closer (or the deadline to renew our seats) most of us will sign up.

Players offered reduced wages apparently and told them to do one.

We could get in touch with all those people that were throwing bids in last time couldn’t we?

There was erm, thingy and wotsit. That fella and the other one. Thingamajigger and yon Mon.

Nobody wanted us at £3m who will want us at £15m???

£13million on staff cost which includes players wages. We have more than the average club of players of our size on £10k+ some on 12k 15k 18k. Is that sustainable? no certainly not.

We have no player of any value to sell on we basically are been bled by average players and injured players.
Were playing out reputed £50k-£60k a week on 4 players alone which equates to roughly £2.5-£3million 3 of which don’t even play.

Why why why are we living above our fcukin means again ?? why ?? have we not learned our lesson?.

As for the stadium ?, unlike a shop or superstore that can change its usage other than show sports.Its a simple equation to run a business,
Have minimum the same amount of money coming in to what goes out. Once it drops below that level you are reliant on handouts or accumulate debt.
That player wage bill needs to be smashed apart and get rid of them all
1) cost
2) They are sh1t

Pretty much every single football club “lives beyond its means” and that is the problem with the game. Hemmings was putting something like £12m a year into PNE to balance the books and they claim they don’t overspend.

Last season was a strange one in that we needed to being players in to an environment that nobody had any idea how it was going to develop and so we probably had to pay over the odds for players. Perhaps we should have cashed in on a few when their stock was high.

If the owners are happy to keep putting their hands in their pockets until we get to where we want to be, then there’s no issues. Do people think we broke even under Whelan without any investment from him? The problem is, that will only ever last so long especially when there is no connection to the club.

For someone who doesn’t have an interest in us you don’t half follow us about.

Rather than give it to charity, I could give you that £20 to see if you’re able to buy a life with it.

I haven’t seen it, but if it’s as bad as you are suggesting then VAR would have told him to check it again. They didn’t.

Wasn’t there VAR in the Grimsby game?

In other words, it would have been overturned if it wasn’t a penalty.
