Perhaps the club could reinvent the buy-a-brick scheme in order to negate any potential shortfall in income?

I mean no disrespect and not having a dig but.....

You spend your days on here
You can't differentiate been and being
You pretended to be speaking to Phil Daly when you weren't

I bet you you're not.

You said a 10m plus business, not a sporting business. I am the Group Commercial Director of a 15m global business. Whether you like it or not, that's the case.

I must just be lucky.

OK, but if you worked a bit harder instead of wasting your days on here it could be a 30m global business.

But you have no idea what market or industry it is. Do you think if Hetherington worked harder, instead of the fake working holidays in Australia, that Leeds might double it's turnover also?

Your can't be serious at £15m global business!! I am the commercial director for a small print site in Bradford - turnover £50m we are far from global, £15m is tiny.

I am serious Sal. Global is not on turnover, but where your markets are. We have offices in UK, USA, Canada, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and Poland, and we do business in 36 countries. Do you not call that global?

Has Walter Mitty got a new username?

Would you like to test it Gareth? Perfectly prepared if you want to put something on the line.

most of us could say that!!!

Too true tad too true.

I have felt a bit guilty lately though, being laid up with a broken ankle, so have tended to refrain through the week, and have a look on weekends. Now close season though, so not much to look for anyway.

You know this because "Hetherington said"

......dear god stop the debate now.

What are you trying to say? He didn't say it? He didn't mean it? Or it is still the same now has he said back then?

Last year we made a half a million profit. I would imagine we budget to make no finals. It won't have cost us anything to not get there, but we have probably missed out on about half a million through not attending and winning anything.

If the budgeting is any different, the GH is not as smart as he seems

I'm saying whoever bases their argument on the PR words of GH is on very thin ice.

Ok then fair point.

So that would lead to the assumption the the opening poster could well have a point. So what's the arguing with him for?

But other years he hasn't had rebuilds to consider without outside finance.

No he has a point, not reaching finals effects the money coming in to the club, as it would any club in any sport.

I merely stated it happened before and was no big issue, which is true. Considering we've hardly been breaking the bank these last few years on bringing top players in I'm extremely UNconcerned by our financial position.

And like I put above, previously there wasn't a rebuild to finance internally.

Can I come for a week's work experience?

Good god yes. I know I am a workshy fop who has wasted far too many hours on here,

But I am not the one pretending to be a CEO of a multi million pound business that is qualified to give GH advice.

It's the next step up from being a keyboard coach.

Keyboard CEO's!

I have worked for several £multi-million turnover global companies - can I have a go at being CEO?

Not unless you've done it with a broken ankle like Gotcha! Need a fighter in charge who'll play throughout the pain.

I had a really bad back once - still plays up from time to time but I still go to work. I must be at least a viable candidate?
