Jeezo - How much more of a simpler way would you suggest to describe the fact that one bloke is financially securing the football club on a week to week, year to year basis, forever.
Or perhaps there is more to be tied up that could be positive but RF going early has bounced everyone into making a statement leading to more noise
only you said
Great point that...
You're equating running a family budget on the same basis as running a network of linked companies and investments.
Given this football clubs Gibson era ambitions I'd suggest the word pennies has never been uttered once
The minute I see a thread on here next time the club spunk several £m on a panic buy CF worrying about the impact on commercial freight ratecarding Bulkhaul will possibly have to mitigate for is the moment I will stop treating MFC as an individual entity.
Crack on! You do it to shame everyone who's just 'rolling over'. I'm sure you'll be missed.
your very incorrect with the assumption of household budgets by me - thats Thatchers line.
They aren't an individual entity so you should stop before then. They are specifically referenced in the parent company accounts.
Of course its Gibson and his company but he has ways of mitigating those losses and I'm certainly not in a position where I can tell a guy worth half a billion quid to apologise to his missus that she can't have rhino horn indicator stalks on her Aston Martin as he's brought in Matt Clarke and has agreed to pay Jonny Howson's pension next year.

Probably not, but then it isn’t meant as a literal term
It wasn't a u-turn. I acknowledged that it falls on Gibson but you were making it sound like he has to apologise to his missus for his investment in the club. He runs a set of businesses that overall are profitable. Its not like he has someone like Ben Houchen ensuring he has profitability in all his businesses without risk over his shoulder.that was a quicker u turn than Starmer.
I deserved that
Are you saying that there is gonna be a further statement from MFC regarding last nights meeting?
3 hours chat and a small paragraph of a statement. What was said for 3 hours anyone there care to expandThis a key point and well made.
I would urge RF to keep on pressurising Gibson into addressing the other blindingly obvious pricing issues. Keep on confronting him.
I would then urge the comfy brigade of the self appointed Supporters Forum to accept that without RF prodding him, then Gibson would not have engaged.
I would then urge all of these groups lucky enough to be invited to these audiences with Gibson to communicate to the rest of us mere mortals.
