Hardly a construct — quote…..
“you have to question his motives, as well as the figures” Thacks_Rabbits
“People are allowed to question and be suspicious”. AtThePeake
“What is being questioned on this statement is the accuracy of the content”. judd
As you so rightly say, those who take on leadership positions “deserve a fair wind and a degree of basic understanding if they get buffeted by unprecedented events, the solutions for which not even the so-called experts can agree on”
But leave it there, eh? |
"...accuracy of the content" for my part does not imply that anyone is lying.
It could be the result of a number of things such as oversight, forgetfulness, interpretation or human error, for example.

The virus has made a mockery of all aspects of life - not least football.
The Chairmans comments are perhaps "conservative", but id rather the club under promise and over deliver, or just survive this period.... I think that the limiting of crowd numbers will damage the big supported clubs more than clubs such as Dale
Sunderland had a average of 30,169 last year V a capacity of 37.772, so they were running about 80% - and still loosing masses of money. When they have to drop to about 7000 based on new rules, they will be missing 23,000 paying supporter or loosing about 65% of the average - about £500k per game at £20 / head
Dale on the other hand had a average of 3574 and can allow 2170 in the ground so we are "only" loosing 35% ( of a much smaller number ...) - about £28k per game at £20/head
Dale have only a small number of existing contracts and we dodged a bullet with Hendo not signing the contract offered. The New Normal we keep hearing about will be true of Div 1 player salaries and with a bit of planning, lots of work and a bit of luck Dale can come out of this stronger than we went in. The cup runs / TV / sales cleaned up the overspend previously and help cover the hole the K19 has kicked into the club
Our Chairman might not be the communication king or splashing his cash - but i'll bet hes not sweating half as much about financial survival with restricted gates receipts as the new Sunderland Chairman ( Donald Resigned, nobody yet appointed ! )

Likewise, “People are allowed to question and be suspicious” in no way equates to "it's the Board so they must be lying". At least, I didn't mean it to anyway. |  |

I wonder how many local councils have been as supportive as ours with initial and provision for further loan in order to help their local clubs? | |

"The virus has made a mockery of all aspects of life - not least football".
It has indeed. The Imps sold 4k STs in early bird pre-lockdown. With a capacity of 10,120 ………... |  |

Or at Tranmere where they sold a similar number ahead of the lockdown at over £400 a pop and then had to make 40 staff redundant. I haven't checked to see whether their fans have been offered their money back (I suspect not) or whether they think the price they paid for league two football is good value | | | |

To be fair relegation was always a risk to them. But yes similar issues with all the clubs that had started to sell season tickets early. | |

The Imps had an average of 9006 last season - great for them and not knocking them, but they are the only club for 20+ miles - Donny, Scunny, & Notts. Dale have more Premier League teams alone closer probably than this ...
They are also central to the community - something we are slowly improving with Club, Local Clubs, Schools & Council all working better together
Dale might learn a few tricks about things like early bird etc given Imps success | | | |
