I’m just asking because we seem to be banking money an awful lot though we’re told we are financially secure for years to come, what’s the dividends situation at our club are the directors drawing down monies but not releasing it to the manager or is it genuine that we’ve spent the money and aren’t willing to gamble in any way shape or form with what we have. ?

I’m a little bit lost with it as apparently were the perfect model to follow and yet we seem extremely stretched to me with personnel and finances.
The audited accounts consistently show not one single member of our Board of Directors draws a dividend. In actual fact, it's not that far back that one certain Mr Nelson funded an entire pre-season bout of first team friendlies in Eire out of his own pocket.

This is just my own opinion, but I genuinely think Mike Garlick is scared shi-tless of the business running out of money, and I'll wager we need to sell Toekowski before he opens the purse strings.

No-one at Turf Moor is saying that, but I'll bet that's how the wind is blowing.
