I think what people say they want from a development squad is what Peterborough achieve without one.

But Peterborough sign players for good money and put them straight into the first team, and that money comes from their rotating door transfer policy and maximising transfer fees for players going to bigger clubs - which we've never done. The best we've ever done is sold McBurnie for next to nowt, then cashed in on ANOTHER team's effort at catching the big sale and taking a little percentage of it.

What Peterborough don't seem to do is sign a random lad released by a local rival like Barnsley and hope that in five years he'll be ready for some first team action; the lads they sign are first team ready.

 

Hope Wetherby Whaler sat on a few shares

 

I’m imagining the analysis will be another piece by the former moderator of the BCAFC hashtag.

 

Nor do we know whether he's taking any money out in the way of divident payments or a salary...

 

Poor effort at disclosure, Why not publish full accounts instead of a heavily abridged version claiming openness

 

I took mine back.

Why should I leave it in the pocket of a multi millionaire when he's also just pocketed 3 million from the McBurnie sale and has very little interest in my club?

Loyalty is a 2 way street. When I see the club progressing then he'll get my backing, until then I'm more than comfortable with my actions.

 

I think your honesty is great here and refreshing. It was a difficult 18 months for everyone and we don't know everybody's personal financial circumstances. Regardless of how much was received back, any amount could have been useful to somebody really struggling. It isn't our responsibility to keep the club afloat during the pandemic. We have a very wealthy owner and a government to help with that.
You pay for a season ticket to be able to go to VP on a Saturday afternoon. If we weren't being allowed to do that then why shouldn't people be completely within their rights to get their money back.

 

Yeah he could have walked and completely lost every penny he's invested. Or, he could stay, pocket the McBurnie money as a stop gap and hope his continued investment eventually gets his money back.

And before we thank him and grovel, let's not forget that we're all blaming Rahic but Rupp was also complicit (maybe even more so considering it was mainly his investment) in our downfall so until he gets us back towards the top end of league one he's done nothing to warrant pocketing more of my money than necessary.

Edit - it was around £80 or £90 I think. I'm not sure of the total as I just credited it into my account towards last seasons ST's.

 

So did I for the very reasons you previously stated.

 

I agree, each supporters individuals choice.

 

That’s true. From my own personal point of view, I buy the season ticket or match ticket knowing I’ll never see the cash again. If we play well, badly, indifferent or not at all makes no odds to me. The money’s gone. If I was disillusioned with what was happening at the club, I’d stay away until the regime had gone.

 

well spotted. I bet anyone that didn’t request the money back it has been classed as a donation, that way they don’t have to pay VAT on that part of the season ticket money. At £50 per ticket holder it means 6000 didn’t request the money back

 

Think we were paying Jack Payne £10k a week.

Tell us why you still buy a ST after posts like that. intrigued.

 

I don't quite get this post.

On the basis that Jon suggests that we have few saleable assets, irrespective of the sound Bites and potentially could run up losses, then why would you question why a poster would buy a ST?

You could ask myself the same question and I'm guessing, other posters?

 

Which players that have been brought in during the tenure of RS have a potential sell on value.

Park, don't mean to be aggressive with my reply, genuinely intrigued

Sorry @JonButterfield for jumping in on your discussions

 

Crankshaw for one but your right not many yet we do have a few coming through though from the academy
