OK.....let me put it another way.
We were losing a shed-load of money, weekly, last season.......we've now got a bigger wage bill with a few "stars" on the payroll, we've spent 400k in transfers, paid off Nolo, bought off HK's contract, dropped out of 2 cup competitions at the 1st hurdle, been bottom of L2 and are struggling to finish anywhere near halfway.....forget promo, the players looked disinterested at Bury.
That's not knocking BigAl.............that's simply asking how much longer can he hold out.
They can be as big/deep as you like but,short arms would be no good
I notice bury had 2 electronic scoreboards . Both worked too
Nice one.
The problem with owning Notts then, is the "shrinking arm syndrome"......they start off looking like an orangatang's......and end up with fingers sprouting directly from the shoulder-blades....apart from Scardino, he never had any pockets in the first place and ended up trapping his pinkies in his wife's handbag, poor fella.
I know enough to listen to those that are experts, so if it is F1 I'll listen to Coulthard for instance.
I also know enough that in running a football club you can't put promotion down on a spreadsheet and business plan. It comes when it comes and the most the owner can do is put the right people and facilities in place. I'm totally against 5 year business plans to the Championship and #trust #faith #promotion. If he'd just reign in this immature and insulting to all the other clubs attitude what is left is that he's doing a good job off the pitch and maybe a tolerable job on it. Time will tell but if Hart/Kewell can bounce their ideas constructively and we can have a good recruitment window then maybe we will survive this season with a platform to build on, something we seem to have failed to do for too many successive seasons.
I think AH indicated some time ago that he has enough financial muscle to take Notts into the Championship but that someone else would be needed to consolidate at that level and to go any higher.
If that’s the case, it seems likely that his pockets are at least deep enough to get us out of League 2 eventually, despite the possibility that current expenditure on wages is above the level initially planned. I think it’s likely that a few players will be leaving in January and that should bring the books a bit nearer to being balanced.
