Cork about to Pop?

And so it begins..

I'M TELLING YOU BOYS IF THIS GOES WEST I'M ON A SACK THE BOARD CAMPAIGN!!!! ..... far to much miss management, i.e. leisure centre, gawthope, laws appointment, laws termination and the utter farce in sorting a new manager, the so called hotel on the cricket field etc ect ........ if we cant land cork then its clear that the board have completely lost the ability to steer this club in the right direction..... were becoming a laughing stock ..... WERE IS ALL THE MONEY we spend nothing last year the fletcher sale funded everything with cash left over and the balance sheet shows it whats going on????

Hollins, a bit after your previous post about Jack, in another thread, I had said this... "I always enjoy your spirited contributions, even when I only agree with parts of them. (For me, the appointment of Howe was not such an excruciating process as you certainly suggest it was for you. For me it was perhaps aired a bit too openly, albeit in a way that was trying to respond to fans' desire to be kept in the picture; but it came across to me as the sort of thing that goes on in complex competitive negotiations anywhere. Was the failure by Burnley to recruit Lambert any more embarrasing than, for example, the Champions League Champions' failure to recruit Fabgregas? Or Rangers' failure to recruit Eagles? Do you need perhaps to toughen up??? ;-) ) Anyway, I wish you'd post on here more often. Do you mind if I ask how confident you are that everything you have said is 100% accurate? For the example the £2M that you advise has produced nothing at Gawthorpe and the £2M cost of mothballing the leisure centre? Or that the planning money on the hotel etc was actually out of the club's coffers? I'm not saying you've got it all wrong, I am just asking how confident you are, which to me is just what anyone should do when someone says anything on this scale of significance. Also could you clarify for someone like me who lives away from town, is the leisure centre closed currently? Beyond this, it certainly sounds as though you're more up-to-date than me concerning the Modus receivers, and it is certainly a story that underlines an important difference between investments and loans. But it's perhaps important to ask ourselves, no matter how much the loss of those loans saddens us, whether we'd have secured our all too short stay in the PL if those funds had not been loaned in. May I end by recommending an excellent article in a recent WTBM fanzine that went some considerable way to explaining where all the money is? I think it may also have been posted on here? Do please keep posting on here.

I agree with hc but I am still optimistic that the board will land him.

And if all the recent illness scares when Jack returned to Chelsea had been bad news would we have wasted money just like buying Austin.......sack the board they bought Austin and Cork and wasted all that cash......somedays you just will never win unless you are a supporter and able to change your mind very quickly about players!

If there is to be a bidding war (in any context, over anything), it's often not the best strategy to get your bid in first. Over recent history, Bfc have generally done better when keeping cards close to their chest. Also, the way fans reacted to the Board's attempt to be more open than in the past during the search for a Laws replacement will, I suspect, be the end of any interim reports being posted on the official Bfc site, on any negotiation, and for as long as any of our current directors remain in post. They won't say that. They'll just shift to a more veiled approach. Of course, I have to add, that they may well prove me wrong!
