Quick bit of maths......

£18,000 a week =  £936,000 per year

Average contribution of each spectator at every game is £15 (admission) * 23 (number of games) = £345

Minimum crowd required every game just to pay for goalie is 936000/345 = 2713

Average crowd so far this sesaon = 7517

2713/7517*100 = 36. 

Over one third of the gate money is required just to pay the keeper?

Can't see where the debt has come from?

Being a fan of facts and figures, thats some great figures!

So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

Its as if Trew is saying Robwell did as he was told therefore not guilty or culpable.  What utter utter tosh are we to believe he was so niave that he didn't know or control what Evans was doing as a Chairman......or is that his strength for Trew, he makes a convienient well paid fall guy ...again?

Perhaps Rodwell will fit in well at Notts County. After all, magpies are known  to be  opportunist scavengers.

Or is he saying "The fans can whistle goodbye to their club"?

Look at the eyes, look at the eyes,
A beard aint no disguise,
It dont make you wise,
Evans for manager wont be a surprise,
Or a building site is where the future lies.

Sorry, run out of time and rhyme, I'm a poet and didn't know it. Can anyone continue ?

Here's todays bit from the Guardian's Digger column:

Rodwell's rocky road
As Ray Trew, Notts County's new owner, considers whether to place the club into administration over the mountain of debt he fears is on the horizon, the decision looks set to impinge heavily on the career of the club's new chief executive, Jim Rodwell. Under the Football Association's fit and proper person test, no one may be "a director of at least two football clubs that have each entered into an insolvency event" while the individual was serving on the board "during any five year period commencing on or after 1 February 2005". Rodwell, a 39-year‑old former lower-league full-back, was the chairman at Boston United when it entered into a company voluntary arrangement in 2007. If County do enter administration, Rodwell would have to remain out of football boardrooms at least until after the 2011-12 season – which given that he inherited the Meadow Lane mess seems a little harsh.

Harsh - be f@cked, he deserves every bit of sh@t that comes his way, him, Evans (spit) and Sotnic should all be banned from anything to do with a football club! >:(

Jim has just  let one rip, and is nonchalantly whistling as Trew's nostrils start to twitch  :-\

Great to see that loyalty still exists in the game.  SE has revealed to the Crawley News that he turned down Notts County to complete the job at Crawley.  But he did indicate he is friends of County owners and could not rule out a move in the summer.

Speaking to the Press today Evans said: "I had a long conversation With (Notts' chief executive) Jim Rodwell on Sunday and he was looking for someone to take over until the summer.

"I said I wanted to stay here and said put someone else in charge and if you are still interested in the summer come back and we'll talk about it."

Bet that makes Coterrril feel better

Is "complete the job" Evans speak for bankrupting the club?  ;)

What kind of spineless people are in charge at Crawley?

Managers have been sacked by their clubs this season for trying to engineer a move to another club and yet Evans comes out and brags about it.
