    the trouble is if he hadn’t steered into it the next one was bigger and we couldn’t avoid it

    Not according to the other bloke that had a financial interest in the club. He was adamant that all icebergs could have been safely navigated.

    Hence the fall out and why Julian finished up in charge of the club, with Gordon Gibb having the last laught with regards our annual rent.

    Edin knew icebergs. Some might say he was the Captain Smith of iceberg management.

    Exactly. So what then, is the point of Sparks if he can't do it himself? I'd much rather the club operated on a clean sweep process, rather than keep involving people who have been part of the clubs past. I look at Fergusons involvement at Manchester Utd and just can't help feeling sorry for OGS. He's forever in Alex Fergusons shadow. Ferguson was on the pitch after the Europa defeat with his arm round De Gea. I've heard he even sits in the dressing room during team talks. Let Ollie do his job! Of course Rhodes doesn't have this much direct involvement, but I still feel that him being invited back to "help out" cannot do Spark's esteem much good.

    Gibb said the admin was totally unnecessary, Gibb runs a highly successful theme park and holiday resort. Rhodes makes tourist tat to sell on the ny moors railway like welcome to pickering rock.

    I know whose business id invest in and its not Rhodes.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    Fact is though we've spent around 50% of the seasons since Gibb left in the bottom division.

    Perhaps with better guidance that might not have been the case.

    I didn't know he was "invited back to help out" that's my point.

    Because someone posts Julian still has an office doesn't automatically mean he has any input into the day to day running of the club, I know a businessman who uses his box as his office and runs his business from Valley Parade, I'm sure he will have offered Ryan his services if required as he did with Rahic & Rupp but he wont be working along side Ryan, after reading and watching Ryan in his interviews I'd suggest he's very much his own man, if not why take the job.

    I thought the Rhodes family were involved with the MOD creating weapons, far fetched I know but I’m sure I read it somewhere. Don’t think they make rock !!

    Sound as usual Broncs. I'm not reading back to see who said JR still has an office but they're wrong, he doesn't and hasn't since he finished as Ryan took over. To be clear Ryan is in JR's old space.
    The only other business in the building now, apart from BCFC operations is one office occupied by One in a Million, all others are gone, all the boxes have been redecorated for next season.
    No JR and no anyone else.

    Are you saying JR is not still helping out in the office? Not a problem for me if he is but heard he was

    That’s the one I’m sure they made a load of money when they got an MOD contract, god knows what spooky thing it was, sounds ominous.
