Big changes required. Decent management team who are tough cookies will sort it out.
Advertisement in non league paper this week will attract the right guys
They will also want the sort of money that PC won't want to pay after losing over £2M since he came.
Come on how naive are you, he did his due deligence etc made all the stadium plans etc. You're telling me a successful business man didn't know about the costs involvedbarrowfan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:26 pmThey will also want the sort of money that PC won't want to pay after losing over £2M since he came.
PC seems to be reigning in the money which is why the players sold for good amounts in the summer were not replaced, or replaced with players who cost less to buy and pay wages to as well.
As a consequence the new ones weren't as good players either.
PC also had to pay half of the cost of the new floodlights.
Feel a bit sorry for him actually as I don't think he realised that something he did to honour the memory of his father would cost him so much.
This league is very hard to get out of and requires a bottomless pocket.
All businessmen, however successful, can make mistakes, just like anyone else. I remember a 'successful businessman' in Barrow who almost went bankrupt through a bad decision. It can happen to the best of them.blue nige wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:32 pmCome on how naive are you, he did his due deligence etc made all the stadium plans etc. You're telling me a successful business man didn't know about the costs involvedbarrowfan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:26 pm

Could be one of 'those tales' but I was told by a good source that when he was told about the cost of the floodlights there was a sharp intake of breath and there was shock on his face. Due diligence? The best of businessmen can do all the background checks etc., but they can make mistakes, underestimate what needs to be done and unforeseen things can crop up to increase the cost, such as managers wanting to spend far more than you thought or ground improvements being dearer than expected. How naive are you?
Please don't insult my intelligence by trying to fob me off with that rubbish you have just wrote, the fioodlight situation was on the table when he took over so he was aware how much it would cost !, I could say more but I'll leave it at that. You just keep deluding yourself with these fantasies that are just poor excuses, no I'm not naive only people like you who are expecting us to believe what you have wrote!barrowfan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 10:33 pmCould be one of 'those tales' but I was told by a good source that when he was told about the cost of the floodlights there was a sharp intake of breath and there was shock on his face.

What that man said. It's clear Casson is now reigning in his spending including pocketing the money from the sale of key players in summer rather than replacing them. The talk of promotion has also long since disappeared along with a good manager. This doesn't sound like a man who's planned that the club is in the current situation it's in. It sounds more like a man who's bitten off a bit more than he can financially chew.barrowfan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 10:33 pmCould be one of 'those tales' but I was told by a good source that when he was told about the cost of the floodlights there was a sharp intake of breath and there was shock on his face.
