When i saw Autowindscreens i actually thought MM had found a new buyer for a second

Not one person is dismissing everything negative as false, pretending that the club is in a good state or that its finances have been well managed.

There are a number of posters who've calmly analysed the content of the articles and looked into what the figures might actually refer to.

I just find it weird when people take everything written that's negative at face value, but don't allow the same courtesy in respect to the less alarmist articles and analysis.

 

I don't take anything that's written as negative at face value,neither do i take anything that is written positive at face value,there is only one person who can reveal the truth but at the moment the silence emanating from PP is deafening. Believe nothing,trust no one

Why exactly are you so desperate to believe the worst that sensationalist hacks come up with, but so keen to dismiss a reputable source such as John Percy?

His last sentence was true - the club (foolishly) expected the money to drop into their bank account in late November. That it didn't happen doesn't make his comment false.

 I am not desperate to believe the worst that sensationalist hacks come up with as you put it,some on here only want to read positive journalistic comments and dismiss anything negative as false.JP is only reporting on the information he is given from the club unless of course Cocu told him personally that he had taken a reduced payoff which i very much doubt he did

Here is the link that says Cocu took a reduced settlement. Believe it or not. 

There is probably as much truth in that as there was in his last sentence

Also @Reggie Greenwoodhas posted the John Percy tweet.

That doesn't necessarily mean he has agreed to walk away with a reduced payment,the mutual agreement could be that he agreed to have the outstanding amount remaining on his contract paid over a number of months/years.

Our fans can ignore the article all they like, it has a direct quote from Mel. We have a lot of debt, burying your head in the sand won't make it go away. 

 I agree,as they are showing a direct quote from MM, if it's not true then i am sure MM will start proceeding with a libel case against the DM

For one thing, Cocu reportedly left by mutual consent and wasnt sacked

Also interesting to note in the article that the BZI deal was reported to be worth £60mill

It’s also worth noting this new DM article is written by our new favourite north east reporter, so have to presume it’s all a little quiet on Teeside.

I can't see any reference in the article to Cocu leaving by mutual consent,only his assistants.

Did we not pay a fortune to have some synthetic weave sown in with the grass when Clement was here I think ?

Cost a fortune, our pitch was an embarrassment last season but did look a lot better towards the end of the season

Thats because only half the pitch was being used

I hope Derby take it further. In breaking the law he subsequently became unable to fulfil his contractual obligations. Why should we bow down to idiots in tribunals. 
 

Yes the other 2 were treated differently but the other 2 hadn’t ruled themselves out of being able to work for 12 months. 
 

Players are absolute p1ss takers. 

On what grounds did Keogh break the law,don't remember him being charged for being drunk and disorderly or charged for not wearing a seat belt.

How many more times one person sustained injuries whilst drunk and made himself unable to play the others could play all received punishment appropriate to the impact on the club

You cant have one contractual limit for one and not another,he didn't make himself unable to play,the driver did by having an accident,doesn't matter about the impact on the club.All about money as far as Mel Trotter was concerned and he came unstuck.

This time next year Keogh will be a millionaire

And there it is in Black and White --- fined the equivalent of Six weeks wages -the maximum contractual limit, so the club decide to sack Keogh,no wonder he won. Not only players that score own goals

The award was not a legal judgement therefore cannot be legally enforced.

FYI employment tribunal awards cannot be enforced with bailiffs either

I beg to differ

Just now, Asheville Ram said:

Wrong!  he would need to sue in a court of law for breach of contract to get a high court judgement, also the EFL cannot force a club into liquidation as they are not a creditor and therefore cannot issue a winding up order

You do not need a high court judgement to be made to obtain the services of high court bailiffs, you can apply to the high court to obtain the services of bailiffs if payment has not been received of an award. I am not saying the EFL could force the club into liquidation but creditors can if they don't receive payment.

I wouldn't worry about him ever actually seeing this payout. I dont think the club has the funds to pay him anyway.

 

It'n not as simple as that

So then he can apply to the High Court for bailiffs to visit the club and attempt to get payment. If the club can't afford to pay him then the EFL will probably scrutinise the clubs finances and the club could be forced into liquidation as it will show the club doesn't have the funds to continue trading

I watched the game in Commercial Inn, Inverurie and I bought myself a pint of perroni, sat down next to a bloke with a real parrot on his shoulder!.....I had a look at my pint and it was definitely my first pint of the day......and nobody batted an eyelid to this parrot, big red and green one, looked like he was Man Utd, no blue on him, I think blue is more budgeeregar, anyway there's no joke, no gag coming, this was for real, so I looked up at the big screen and enjoyed the first half, Man Utd leading 1-0.

The bloke and parrot left the pub at half time and the parrot said goodbye on the way out, and the half dozen or so folk sat on the bar stools around the bar turned around on a Sunday afternoon and wished them both a goodbye. I looked at my pint again, did a head shake and carried on as per normal and enjoyed the second half.

Sometimes I wonder why I live in Scotland, I think it's for the entertainment, anyway you couldn't make it up, as for the football, I don't like the Manx, don't like the Spivs, but I'm looking forward to seeing that parrot again!

And if I had one of them modern phones with a camera, I'd have taken a picture, one day I might catch up with the modern world!

Up The Rams.

My Missus thinks that may be Lawrence who lives in Kemnay, he likes to take the parrot with him when he goes for a pint. You will know it's him if you see him again, just say to the parrot "where's Melissa" and watch the reaction you get. No joke honest and no i haven't had a drink, it's the sabbath.
