    How many times Silver, we did not pay £400,000 for Scannell.

    I remember the Sunderland fans chanting something to that affect during the FA Cup tie
    its all the fans fault
    We must create a good atmosphere at VP to attract top quality players (and sponsors)
    As if 30 bob a packet of crisps and a half time lemon isnt enough to do that

    No Silverbantam.The club used SOME of the money from the charlie Wyke sale to get Doyle.It was a nominal fee to get Scannell, just like we sold players on for nominal fees.
    The weekly wagebill would have had to been increased to the market rate for league one, otherwise the club would have had another Jan 2018 and struggled to bring in any players whatsoever.
    The lack of quality in the squad is telling.
    Hope the players are still on an edin bonus wage and have seen that all but disappear due to their efforts.

    I think it's because he displays signs of having a narcissistic personality disorder.

    Apparently it wasn’t the rumoured 400k.

    Cutting edge reporting there

    Does Edin not employ Abbo in a 'dual' role, for that ? :shifty:

    Edin really doesn't do himself any favours he knew there was growing unrest against his policies he knew we were in the worst league position for a good few years and what does he quote
    Excuses about the players feeling the effects of any unrest and then the weather (same for every other club) What he should have said is acknowledge we are not very good and how we are going to halt the slide and start to progress He makes it seem like it's his "Train Set" and he will do what he wants maybe a quick course in Public Relations would help

    "The Trust picked up on the fact that Edin is in regular dialogue with Julian Rhodes and possibly takes advice."

    There's the problem. The club was in freefall under Julian Rhodes' sole ownership, it was only when Mark Lawn came in that things started to improve. Julian didn't know how his train set worked until someone else helped him so him giving advice to Edin is like the blind leading the blind.

    Doesn't suprise me that the Trust didn't want to rock the boat, might not get invited back for tea and biscuits if they upset Edin.

    Rhodes dealt more with the football side and Lawn with getting-Dave-Baldwin-in-to-do-the-brainwork.

    The cheap tickets idea came from the Rhodes though, well before Lawn was involved. They were afraid no-one would come back after City were relegated to the fourth division.

    Mark had been in discussions with the Rhodes family for months prior to investing. Julian was reluctant to even show Mark the books for many weeks, no idea why. Mark was indeed involved in the talks about the cheap season ticket deal, and although their relationship became strained later, it was Marks idea to approach Stuart McCall.

    Yes, sadly you could be right. Supporters Trusts were almost designed for times of adversity, to rally supporters. It seems, in our case, that others have taken on this mantle.

    So edin sez the playing budget was significantly higher than last season.

    Really, i mean really?

    Anyone actually believe him?

    I see alot of lightweights who have previous with staying fit for a season and dont say BOO to the lads as it might affect their confidence especially as halloween is coming up.
    No scaring the horses!

    They is a reason Ryan Sparks don't stick around st clubs often. No more than 2 years at the Bulls and Featherstone. Guarantee we will see probably 2 special shirts released. Also ran his own RL club which went out of business
