Quoted from 935
Where do the club find a business account that pays interest???
It reduces the money that they have to pay interest on-it is not all interest free

Bit harsh that Kingston considering Grimsby is a small Town, we have a decent fan base but since our decline relatively average attendances. There has been lots of challenges with the likes of overdrafts, debt, HMRC etc... and of course a number of seasons in tin pot which generates small incomes I actually think the fact we are now back in the FL and have moved forward is a good indication of decent business management.
It makes me laugh posters on here go on about JF being synonymous in the signing of Omar as it's not fashionable or some aren't brave enough to credit Hurst with anything related to success well if that's the case turning a 50k investment into a 1 million plus return in 18 months is a stroke of genius.
Not really. When you consider where we where in the League when he took over, where we've been during his tenure and where we are now, then add in the fact debt has grown, it's not a good record. Given those results, in any other business he'd have been given the boot (if he wasn't the owner) and a very rough time by other shareholders. I don't know what your point about Omar/Hurst/JF is. Nothing to do with what I said. Whoever was responsible though, it's not a stroke of genius. Lots of people identified Bogle as a prospect before the first attempt. Good business but not the work of a genius.

Many identified Omar but only one club signed him, us!
Exactly from a business point of view other than pump more of his own money in what would you specifically say he could have done differently that would have made a tangible difference?

Not wasted hundreds of thousands of pounds paying off managers who were bad appointments?

Pump less money in. Have a clearly defined plan/strategy rather than firefighting and 'praying for football fortune' on an annual basis. There are clearly some, and I totally accept they are entitled to their view, that believe without JF's bailouts on a near annual basis we would be dead and buried as a club. They thank god for JF as we could well have been another Orient, Stockport or Darlington. Others feel that with better management and vision we could have been at least a Burton, Rochdale,Barnsley or even a Scunny. Bottom line is none of us know where we would be if JF hadn't come along!

Maybe the club's year end is the 31st May and we might already have a hefty tax bill because of the Omar deal and crowds above projected.
Waiting til 1st June to get the income makes sense as the tax won't need paying til next year.
But hey we couldn't possibly have that sort of business acumen at the club could we?!

I think we all know what the problem is at this club, but until anybody else steps in to take financial control of the club we are stuck with the same problems season in season out. No doubt we are spending peanuts again assembling a squad of journeymen, who the Board will be praying Russ can turn into a decent team. No proper investment in the club once again, and the supporters the last to know anything. Good job we are a loyal bunch and keep the faith.
