I suppose it all comes down to perception, a glass half full or empty is the obvious analogy. But as I understand the situation it isn't necessarily a case of can't pay, but quite possibly won't pay for whatever reason. As for the funds for the stadium upgrade, the owners have said quite recently that the funds are in place. Perhaps they're mistaken, or it's yet another falsehood designed to mislead the fans. I am just interested to know why they would do such a thing. Well thats yes and no as well. We dont know how or who from funding was acquired for UWE. Could well be that there was/is finance for the UWE project based on the projections. That doesnt mean said investment is there for a Mem project, as it is a whole different thing You're right, we don't know virtually anything about the whole business. I am pleased and relieved in equal measure that I am a terrace supporter, and not one of the owners. It must be frustrating with complete strangers looking over your shoulder, and second guessing what they expect you to do next.

but is that just a short term cash flow problem. Where I work we defer payments because we prioritise what we have to pay on occasions because we are waiting for debtors to pay us LOL if the debt collectors turned up on Saturday afternoon and took the scoreboard somebody on one of the forums would try and put a positive spin on it "we need that space for the new stand" etc. FFS if we can't pay a bill how are we go to self fund a rebuild of the Mem costing £20/30m?

It seems to me that the wheel has now turned, and the owners have gone from heroes to villains almost overnight. 😈😈

Brighton away so we can all marvel at their fantastic AMEX stadium. Something we may have had at the UWE ! . . . but at what cost, eh?

HT: 1-0 to Charlton, so DC will have to perform some of his magic in the interval.

1-0 down.We have 62% possession as well so confident we'll pull it back. . . . and as Charlton are to play 84 minutes with only 10 men, then hopefully they'll tire as the game progresses. Fingers crossed eh?

He didn't betray anyone. It was us that signed him with the caveat of the 300K sell on clause. Which he betrayed by leaking the clause to the crooks and crackpots who run Bristol Sport 1982 football division. The clause meant that BRFC had to accept a bid of £400k, £600k, or £800 (depending on goals scored and status). None came in though, except the dirty £300k clause-equalling bid from our only rivals made possible by breach of contract (confidentiality). It's a bit of a betrayal, brother. But I do not hate him, and I do not particulary like him having his own thread on BRIFF, so I will try to keep quiet about him and focus on all things GAS. Well said Shoveler, a sense of proportion there.

ps Sorry gas999 some of my posts have moved a long way away from your op. However they are linked because if we are ever going to pay the inflated transfer fees being asked for what is essentially a "one-season wonder" so far and the high wages you indicate he wants then how this thread has developed is relevant. UTG! That's all true enough warehamgas. Plus I doubt that anyone fan or the club itself, wants to go back and re-visit our Billy Big 'Ead era when we signed up nonentities on long, well paid contracts. We have achieved so much more since we were forced to abandon that philosophy, and return to a more common sense approach to managing our business. I much prefer what we have now, and if by bringing in players like Matty Godden on a reported wage of £9,000 a week is out of our range . . . then so be it. Let him look elsewhere would be my advice.

Rovers have now signed Brandon Scott. Perhaps he should be ''dragged off,'' more often.

Just to throw something into the pot one of the biggest names in post war british football with a billionaire owner massive fan base couldn't sustain premiership status a couple of years ago and despite making large offers for a number of players are struggling to attract them to the club even though they have regained premiership membership,but for how long? A new stadium and infrastructure does not put points on the board and paying large fees for players does not guarantee that they will be a success I hope I'm right in presuming you mean Newcastle. Yes they have all the advantages that you mention and those have not put points on the board and again there are no guarantees. But the bloke running it is a complete fruitcake for whom players don't appear to want to play for. Poor Benitez it must be tough trying to create something in the PL with that owner! Its not the same I know but the club never appears to be well run and as Darlington it's not well run. Newcastle could get away with it because of their fans but Darlington couldn't and went to the wall. I guess to answer the implication I would say that you are right about a good stadium not being a guarantee but if a club is badly run then it is badly run and nothing will overcome that irrespective of a new stadium or not and those examples are more about a club being badly run not having a big stadium. UTG! Well, if it is Newcastle United then it must be said that they are sadly inherent failures. It's true that they have had their moments, but considering the money that has been pumped into them over the decades, and the support that they have always enjoyed, then it's fair to say that they have disappointed. In fact the epitome of a (still) sleeping giant.

I must say that the longer that it goes on before an announcement being made, the pessimism is starting to return. Well elsewhere on this forum, someone seems convinced that he'll be playing for us at Forest Green today even though there's been no official announcement of him signing! I'm at the stage in my life when nothing bar nothing, would surprise me.
