    And for as long as he is here and drawing a salary, he is making money

    But he can't draw that salary from a Ltd company knowing that it is trading whilst insolvent. Stay away, don't renew your ST and he has a serious salary problem at the end of the season.

    So then it will be the fans fault, what's up with you Paul, I can't believe you're staying faithful to these clowns.

    As opposed to going out of the league, which will be great for business

    If we stop funding their loan repayments via ST and merchandise sales then they have a big problem.

    At best, stay away and don't renew, at worst, go but don't renew.

    Heads you win, tails I lose. Do you seriously think we will have no problem staying in business while Edin and his missus are continuing to take their "dues" from a dwindling income? I know you are not a youngster so surely you are long enough in the tooth to know that that the first rule for conmen is to always to be nice to be successful.

    I am not being faithful to them.i am saying that all the things suggested in the multiple threads will damage the club and therefore supporters.The only way is to go is what the supporters organisation is doing. That's talk and influence

    They can't continue to take the same dues from a dwindling income, not legally, it's in our hands.

    We’re way past that. When talk and influence may have been an option to address the emerging concerns of many, you didn’t want to know. You dismissed it all as rumour and conjecture.

    Please show me where any group has spoken to "The Ego" and it's changed his opinion or the way he has been doing things, he's killing OUR CLUB with stuff that he's done during his time here.

    Fans attending home games tend to buy from the food kiosks thus providing some % revenue to the club BUT boycotting games or not spending at the kiosks paradoxically ruins the catering companies revenue. Fans boycotting games could drastically affect others apart from ER etc.
    Do we want to be responsible for that?

    If fans really want to boycott home games then at least support your local non league team instead. Mine will be Steeton AFC.

    True, but where? They have fixed outgoings, reducing the playing budget is a goer but not sensible.

    Maybe Dennis could comment on that? Reducing the playing budget would be deliberately distressing the company financially with the sole intention of protecting salary payments.

    This coming year there should be be no need for expensive work on the pitch, shop, ticket system etc so that should free up a decent chunk of cash

    But these would have been paid for via ST funds, what other funds are there of consequence?

    But how is that a good thing? Smaller budget simply means more Patricks and Rileys. We end up with a poorer squad than now, meaning back-to-back relegations. How the chuff is that a good thing??????
