[Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
Brian Little certainly screwed the club over, with has been journeymen on their final pay days, but that was through incompetence on his part, rather than malice.
Our clubs are similar in the fact that they are both controlled by millionaire chairmen, and have been ridiculed by dubious management appointments. Our chairman is continuing to invest in the club, yours is managing the situation.
We should both be thankful for their continued support.
Our chairman has stated that our budget has been reduced by 45% since BL, and accounts show this.
Your chairman stated that your budget is in the top five for the division. Chester, Guiseley, Halifax, and Brackley should be the four biggest........
Think you have made a mistake with Mark Jones, he should have had a contract, and even at the last minute still wasn't offered one, or maybe he doesn't like Drury or his tactics
Would like to know where you worked in Gainsborough, distinct lack of industry, and people who work here hang on to their jobs, and the playoffs were the talk of the town. The queues for tickets v Nuneaton snaked through the town, and were a sell out.
Think that bit of your post will be taken with a pinch of salt]
I may be wrong but I think you'll find the Chairman stated that he thought "the budget was good enough to get into the top 5" not that "the budget is in the top 5"....one is a definitive statement whereas the other is aspirational and dependent on numerous factors outside his control
As regards the play-off match v Nuneaton, one should jolly well hope that it was a sell-out or you really would have problems!
Finally, I have the greatest admiration for what Peter Swann is doing at Trinity as he is willing to put his money where his mouth is but, as the old saying goes, "you can't polish a turd!"
