    How many new players did we sign last January? About 5 or 6? Bruenker apart, they wern't even bad players either. The club were in such a state at the time it made literally zero difference to our fortunes and it'll be the same this season.

    The only way that January will help us is through a serious injection of cash from the owners.

    Against the backdrop of a (much needed) campaign to force them to sell, Rupps not going to spend his own money. Not happening.

    Hopkin will have to generate whatever he wants to spend through moving current players on.

    Can't see a) anyone wanting to come to us b) the board sanctioning money being spent when we're looking like we're gonna go down c) money being spent on L1 wages when it's looking like we're going to be L2 next season d) Hopkin sticking around when the board say no to him.

    PS Who is Alan Biggin? Says on the "who's who" that he's the director. How come we never hear from him?

    Christian Benteke - you heard it here first. That being said, didn't he have a mare the other year with Villa at VP?

    Company Secretary, accountancy background. I suspect he has little to do with the day to day running of the club, @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler would know more of course.

    Yep - Unless there is a total re-think at boardroom level, I can only see 1 for 1 'swaps' taking place. Same low wages, just different faces. :(

    Edit ....... Or should that read faeces ?

    It happens when you can’t meet your bills. When there is no money left to pay the players wages, or staff.

    it doesn't matter who we sign - if Rahic is still around we'll have the same problems.

    Yeha I know how a club goes into administration, but which bills are we not paying?

    And which players or staff are not being paid?

    The owners are not that stupid. It’s clear we are running at a deficit this year and that money must be being put up by the owners.
