    Ask people in the grounds if they think the game is changing for the better or the worse, I'm pretty sure the concensus would be the latter.

    I fully understand why people may think the opposite to me but it's extremely easy to go on Companies House and check the information. 
    Morris may have had to write off £124m but that was nothing to do with the club, as explained in my previous post.
    £200m sounds about right to me. £50m on the purchase of the club and around £150m of losses over his time in charge.

    In which case he's not a great fullback then after watching him play it. Maybe a wingback, maybe a winger.

    Am I missing something (quite likely)?
    Not particularly wishing to defend him but how is losing Sibley (if he does actually go) with zero compensation down to Mel? 
    He survived the cull required to survive administration and if the current ownership/management regime thought he was worthy, we could offer him terms sufficient to generate a compensation payment.

    I've seen very little but admiration for Joe Wildsmith and Korey Smith?

    One third of the total debts, meaning you believe the club were £110m in debt when Morris put us into administration?
    You're a million miles off with your estimate there.
    Without looking at the administrators report again, our debts were something in the region of:-
    £26m HMRC
    £20m MSD loan
    £8m football creditors
    £8m other creditors 
    From memory, about £62m. There were inter-company loans but obviously these were not external creditors that had to be paid.
    So actually when taking inflation into account, very little difference between the debt that our owners had us in at the time.
    There are of course differences in that LP was forced out whereas MM jumped ship, but both got themselves into their respective position through reckless spending and financial mismanagement.

    Not disingenuous in the slightest, just factual. 
    He made numerous bad financial decisions which put the club in jeopardy and some that we were still paying for years later.
    I'm grateful for the good times he gave but you can't just pretend that he didn't leave us in a mess.
    In financial terms he was akin to Mel Morris eventually, the only difference being that we had a period of success on the pitch.

    I think the fact that he took us to the brink of ruin which led to the 3 Amigos taking over us, probably led to his legacy being slightly tainted.
    Did much more good than bad for us though, so it was a shame how it ended.

    This really isn't the ground breaking information that he has dressed it up as and, anyone that paid attention to our situation, knew this was the case.
    As for the 'other interested party' this guy does not really know anything that is not available in the public domain, as has been proven many times before, most recently when he was posting false information about DCFC and he skulked off this site when I pulled him up on it.
    Still, guess that is not really the jist of your post, however, I like to point out what a charlatan Maguire is at any given opportunity 😂

    Sure I put exactly that in my post 🤨
    Our games would have been the same, I looked for alternative venues, think we missed 5 in total...the club have also secured grants to improve drainage across all our grass pitches. We also looking into possibly getting 3G pitch.
    i asked because its very difficult to comment without knowing what age group, league to be able to respond.
