Again you have to ask why is it necessary to bring the SA's out into the open unless there is a desire to try and discredit the opposition.
Frankly the SA's reinforce my view that neither are fit to run the Club. The Arguments, have to say particularly KM's, are **** stirring of the lowest order a fact recognised by the Judge. On the one hand KM is suggesting the Prince is carrying out illegal practices without any evidence to support this and on the other KM is being called a dishonest bully with an extraordinary sense of entitlement whose actions in wanting to change a Financial Managers contract were almost certainly illegal.
The Clubs transfer budget is now there for all and sundry to see, no wonder we are struggling to get players over the line. The £2 million figure that everyone is panicking about is £2 million towards permanent signing fees, it doesn't include additional wages of up to another £5 million which indicates we are doing most of our business this window in the loan market.
Use of the word deadlocked in the letter is embarrassing. BLL is dealt with on a 50/50 basis. That means both owners should be making and agreeing decisions a fact recognised by the Princes Skeleton that makes the point that is the basis on which the Prince signed up to invest in the Club. The very fact it comes out that KM didn't tell the Prince he was negotiating an increase in budget and an improved contract with CW confirms that KM's view of this arrangement is that he Prince is entitled to put the money in but not be allowed to be a party to decision making, bizarre.
No good will come of this. Highlighting the fact CW has a compensation clause in his contract, one party saying we are struggling financially the other saying we aren't and references to individual spats on both sides will only serve to undermine the future stability of the Club. I just wish they'd both disappear and stop the good name of SUFC being dragged through the mud again.
