    Simmo’s left foot got a reaction from jono in Tom Lawrence - Joined Rangers   
    I doubt he is on £38k a week. More like £20-25k. At £25k per week thats £650k in wages until his contract expires in the summer, so if we can get a nominal £500k, we will see a £1million plus improvement in cash flow before the summer. I imagine Jozniak will also be going for a fee which clears any future liabilities and removes his wage, quite possibly Bielik too. No doubt Marshall is on good money too, so add that one in too.
    Big reduction in our cost base with those 4 going, £3-4 million per year? Wow, you can see how football and us in particular are in such a mess. A salary limit as a % of trading turnover is essential, before numerous other clubs go into admin.
    Shame about Tom, as he has always had that touch of class and quality when he cuts in from the flank and looks to shoot.

    I wont be signing it either. Many of those calling for his head were those demanding more expenditure! Look how that turned out.

    Simmo’s left foot got a reaction from jimtastic56 in League 1 now...   
    Interesting that in league 1 the salary limit is 60% of turnover. That's how the championship should be run, and without any parachute payments. If relegated from the premier leaguer then a championship salary kicks in. Tough!
    Unfortunately one of the main reasons we are in this mess is/was a totally unsustainable wage bill, which many fans here also fully supported and encouraged at the time. "Get yer chequebook out Mel"   mentality is what has ruined us.
    Time to start again under new ownership I suppose.

    I've recently joined Ramstrust, a very quick and simple process for £2. Suprisingly cheap. I'd suggest everybody should be joining, making their opinion heard. If Ramstrust had 20,000 members then they would be getting a lot more attention from the powers that be!

    Simmo’s left foot reacted to Tamworthram in Bad behaviour by Derby (& coventry) fans again   
    I understand your point and  agree. However, to say they’re going to strictly enforce it for certain rows but not others takes it to another level.
    If I had my way, clubs that can afford it (so that excludes us ?) should be allowed to install safe standing areas and sell equally priced seated and standing tickets for home and away supporters. Sitting in seated areas would strictly enforced. I’m no health and safety expert but I’m convinced that safe standing systems are far safer than allowing standing in a seated area.

    I don't actually agree with this, having worked for charities my whole career.
    Many societies are set up to speak on behalf of a wider community than their actual membership, from political parties down.
    The whole point of a democratic vehicle is to allow access to as many members as want to be involved, that way the organisation acheives as much democracy as it can. As it grows it can then do more to reach out to wider and wider groups of people. 
    I think Punjabi Rams have a structure and elections, I know the local supporters clubs do. I suspect most of the other "representative" groups don't, I know for example that this was a role thrust upon our Forum that @David felt very uncomfortable with. And as for the democracy of letting a man with a flag "represent" supporters! Sure Nick didn't ask for that, either.
    I cannot for the life of me understand why supporters want to pour scorn over the one organisation whose very existence is set up to be the very thing that they all want - a voice in how the club is run.
    I'm with @Simmo’s left foot, if more of us had got off our backsides earlier, then we might have been a force to be reckoned with when we were needed. But we aren't  - yet.
     I  have joined because I want to change that. What are you doing about it?

    Simmo’s left foot got a reaction from jimtastic56 in I have idea for north stand   
    Its actually illegal to stand at an all seater stadium. Sooner or later somebody is going to get seriously injured. The north stand is a family stand, a lot of elderly and young families. 
    What a great idea if you want to drive people away from the stadium, me included.
