BREAKING - George Hirst Gone

The only question that raises for me is, if the powers that be in football are prepared to just sit back and ignore such a dubious way of injecting funds into a club (which they clearly are) then why not just let the club owner put in an equivalent sum of money without having to go to the trouble of setting up non trading companies to do it? :wacko:

 

I'm sure the powers that be would blather on about sustainability, but if a club owner is determined to run their club recklessly, they still will. See Villa for a recent example. The current system doesn't prevent stupidity.

 

If a club is lucky enough to be taken over by a wealthy owner who's happy to invest in the club, let them crack on with it, I say. Otherwise, you just create a situation where the drawbridge has been pulled up now that the likes of Chelsea and Man City are safely on the other side of it, and that seems very unfair.

Geoffrey called for a D-taxi three months ago and is still waiting. 

 

He's kept himself preoccupied by shouting at clouds and waving his fist at pigeons.

I did and got yer mum.......

Seriously, saw they were sponsors, so what happened??

 

I think Geoffreys beef is with the hypocrisy of calling out Leicester for using a loophole to avoid paying a transfer fee - while not seeing a problem with us having 2 'sponsors' owned by our Chairman who aren't actually trading.

 

Was my Mum ok?? I must pop round and see her this morning

It's not just the scale of it that differs, though.

 

Morally, a chairman using a loophole to pump a bit more of his cash into the club he owns in order to attempt to compete on an even footing with clubs whose bank balances have been artificially inflated by obscene parachute payments is hardly comparable to a club screwing another out of a development fee for a young player who came through their academy.

Poor attempt. Getting parachute payments is not bending the rules. There's plenty of teams in the Championship not on parachute payments. Is it morally acceptable for us to try and gain an unfair advantage over them?

We weren't screwed out of a fee. We turned down several bids before the petty training embargo and he might never play for Leicester.

I'm a bit confused about what you're saying here

The statement reads to me that one side of the story is known via a press statement

We know that to be true as fact

Cant' see how you can call it baseless?

 

Exactly, it had to be ‘rightly’ worded (or factual) otherwise the chairman and the club would have been liable. What is more, if it wasn’t right then we would have had a counter statement from Hirst Jnr and Co by now.

 

Whilst there are always two sides to things - facts are facts. So based on what I have read from official sources (and what has gone on since), I am fully behind our chairman in regards to how he has dealt with this.

No there wouldn't

What makes you think that would happen?

 

If he would have been misrepresented, it would have been in his best interest to make a statement!

Having been on the interjangle, I now understand the DTaxi issue.  Yer Mum's fine by the way, you should visit more often!!:rolleyes:

 

There is a certain similarity between Geoffrey  and the munter called Tonto........doesn't like answering questions does he/she

1THEPERSON OFFERING THE CONTRACT MUST DECIDE HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH PAYING FOR THE SIGNATURE/SEVICES OF THE PERSON INVOLVED,
