As nan would say on Catherine Tate ''what a load of old ****''. Have a nice day.   Formerly - MightyYellows God how I wish I were a tomato in the sun and warmth, instead of being a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed.... ....    Report

Lets not forget Doomcaster is basically painting this "rosy" picture because that is basically what he is paid to do - manage the finances of the club. If he were to say the club is in a financial mess - he is basically saying he hasn't done his job properly - which as we all know from our lovable Neil is very unlikely. His comments relating to wealthy people wanting to invest in the playing side doesn't sound too encouraging in terms of getting a new wealthy OWNER either..seems they are still looking for people to give them money for nothing in return...     Report

02/10/2008, 12:46 PM Beds Canary Joined on 01/07/2007 Bedfordshire Posts 323 Re: Fans should take comfort from accounts CHAMPIONSHIP NET DEBT, 2006-7 Burnley £3m Cardiff City £27m Coventry City £30m Derby County £30m Hull City £1m Ipswich Town £33m Leicester City £14m Norwich City £18m Plymouth Argyle £3m Preston NE £6m QPR £18m Sheffield Wed £28m Southampton £19m Stoke City £2m Sunderland £53m WBA £4m Wolves £4m So despite our season in the Premiership, parachute payments and the fire sale of our entire squad we've got more debt than Stoke, Plymouth, Preston, Hull and Burnley combined. But it's OK, 'cos Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton and Cardiff will go into administration a good six months before we do. Good to know.    Report

For me, watching the likes of Murray, Strihavka has made the increased debt worth it!    Report

"Some people seem to alarmed about the fact that we haven't got a pot to p*ss in so yours truly has been wheeled out yet again to try and confuse them into believing everything is OK. With the AGM a mere three weeks ago I need to make sure that the old dears at the front don't turn nasty when they find out we've replaced the M&S cookies with Tesco Value Custard Creams. Here are some examples of terrible financial problems throughout the world which have been included in this column purely to make you think that things could be so much worse. You may find it quite surprising that the financial picture at Carrow Road is actually quite robust. I say quite surprising, f*cking unbelievable would possibly be more apt. One female supporter from Stowmarket who lists her hobbies as cooking and socialising with friends summed up these figures as a "pleasant surprise". A lot of other people used quite a different phrase. All supporters should take comfort from the figures........in the same way they should take comfort from forgetting to put their heating on at night only to discover they had p*ssed the bed thus keeping them warm and saving money! Some nasty media types refuse to believe my carefully choreographed spin. They are scum. Find them and kill them. I'm about to mention Chelsea and Manchester United in comparison with us. Please don't laugh. QUICK LOOK AT READING AND CHARLTON!!! The table at the bottom will show that some clubs are worse off than us. It will also show that some are better off than us. Ignore these. Just concentrate on the fact that some clubs are worse off than us. Lower debts would be preferable. Sleeping with Kelly Brook would be prefrable than mastubating into a sock every night. You can't always get what you want. At least the sock won't dump me for some film star. We're not as skint as we were in 1996. We're skint, I mean really skint. But not that skint. Rejoice. Robust, sound and manageable. Robust, sound and manageable. Robust, sound and manageable. Robust, sound and manageable. Robust, sound and manageable. Robust, sound and manageable. It's not our fault honest. Aren't the directors great. There's no need to point that at me Michael I was going to write it anyway. 'Investors'. Why the '...'. Simple. I'm implying that they don't really exist. Short term loans are great. When things go really tits up, and they will, we can send them all back. And I'll play up front. Southampton are completely f*cked. What do you mean they beat us on Tuesday! There are wealthy individuals apparently keen to put their money into playing squad improvements. See how I used the word apparently. Peter Cullum is a very nasty man. Anyway we know you'll all be back next year. We've been s*it for three years now and you still turn up in your droves. Idiots.   "The ball is round. The game lasts ninety minutes. This much is fact. Everything else is pure theory."    Report
