These two asset strippers are being linked as new investors again, I hope not, they will make NH look like Robin Hood. |

Linked by who?
If NH is seriously thinking of jumping into bed with these two he must have serious cash flow problems?

Mr Agombar is the man who managed to fail the fit and proper person test to take over Hereford but is effectively pulling the strings there, telling anyone who'll listen that he's in charge. The FA's response is unclear atm.
Hereford fans had a demo at the Kiddy v Welling game last week to try and raise some awareness of what this charlatan is doing at their club

I heard this a month or so ago. If it's true, Higgs must be desperate.

Agombar is banned from having anything to do with a football club so it's bulls**t. Mind you that doesn't stop him at Hereford.

forget FA fit and proper test meaning anything - it approved the bloke who killed Salisbury . . . and if it all goes according to plan, then Leeds United FC will not be far behind . . . allegedly. But with his ''colouful'' past, why on earth was Massimo Cellino allowed to become the majority shareholder, president and chairman (effectively the owner, to all right-thinking people) of Leeds in the first place? And don't even mention Owen Oyston at Blackpool FC. What on earth is going on with quite a number of our football clubs (and not just the bigger ones neither), does anyone know? |

This is an example of 'be careful what you wish for'. The current BoD may not be much good and we might be better off with someone else. On the other hand there are a lot worse people out there than NH & Co - spivs, crooks, dubious financiers, hedge funds etc.

What on earth is going on with quite a number of our football clubs (and not just the bigger ones neither), does anyone know?FA full of money grabbing corrupt c**ts just like FIFA. Did you forget UEFA, pirate? France's Michel Platini appears to have his own agenda (and no, I never mentioned English clubs) on ever-so-many things. A true successor-in-waiting to FIFA's Sepp Blatter, if Blatter can ever be ''persuaded'' to stand aside. Not looking too likely at the moment though is it, despite his age. I do wonder what is the ongoing attraction is? I often think of the various sports administrators from the major world sporting organisations that have been asked to resign (like Jack Warner for example, but there are many more that could be mentioned), to avoid legal sanctions being taken against them. As they are all largely unaccountable to anybody or anything, they are able to use their organisations as cash cows. All of that and I didn't even mention the European Union, but the same principle applies. My apologies if this last sentence is considered to be too Current Affairs(ish). I would understand if it were deleted. |

And don't even mention Owen Oyston at Blackpool FC. What on earth is going on with quite a number of our football clubs (and not just the bigger ones neither), does anyone know? The problem as I see it is that the business model for football clubs doesn't work. There's no money to be made in day to dsay operations so the money is made out of the dodgy stuff the goes on in the margins. They have attempted to turn a mass sport into a business while keeping the structures of the sport - this is why it doesn't work. If you want to know what sport as business really looks like then see the US model for major sports - which makes a hell of a lot of money, runs its team profitably and has proper sporting and business governance structures. In football what happened is that a multi-billion pound business has been injected into amateur sporting and governance structures which is why it is so easy for people to rip off the game and it's fans. In the international game that produces a lot of corruption because of how easy it is to trouser the huge amounts of cash coming in. In the domestic game it is reflected in the disconnection of clubs from their communities and becoming simply assets that can be stripped by any passing charlatan. Tis a mess. The problem with the 'be careful what you wish for' argument is that it is not a position so much as an inevitability. If your football club is privately owned then it is pretty inevitable that some point down the line it will be sold to someone/some people who do not have the club's interest at heart. |

With all the vitriol that's been directed at the BoD lately, I would blame them at all. But there are people on here who are desperate to get rid of the current BoD. Be careful what you wish for I guess.

Be careful what you wish for I guess. Yet nobody would wish these to clowns in at Rovers, however much we are (quite rightly) disillusioned with the board. |
