And i was in the 0.01. I openly said id take some losses and some debt for success but was shot down by the usual suspects

So what?
How did anyone know what was going on (and there's a load who claim to be in the know on both sides of the river, who know the square root of feck all)?
The news from the club itself was that we were profitable, so it was believed. Woe is me for believing it, but like I say, so what? They're all gone now. History. Let's move on
If Allam says his £1m is a gift, who are we to dispute that?

You had been had over and now finally you guys realise it, I remember the majority on here been over the moon with Rule and the profits the club where making, over the moon!!!
Our position of course but this aint what the thread is about. It looks now like you have the right man in charge but we have had the right man in charge for years and we are now moving in the right direction(money wise).

The right man who has placed you in a large 7 figure debt,and numerous county court judgement's,and relied upon Rob Crossland to underwite most of the debt,which he admitted last year he couldn't afford to carry on doing so?

We needed to invest to be competitive, something you guys have clearly not been doing. Now we are heading in the right direction.

This is my fav quote so far, thanks Pupkin (great name)
This sums up the two clubs perfectly, we see our current position as under achieving, Rovers see a similar position as being competitive.

Not Hkr, just Rupert and a small group of their stupid fans who you can find on the HDM pages.

Could be worse.
Could have net liabilities of £2.1m
Could still be awaiting ERDF funding for an expensive ground development

Stupid fans Thats hard to take after all the bull you guys have been fed and taken in over recent years
And as for us been competitive, how far would you expect the club to have got after only won promotion in 2006? still hanging around the bottom of the league? I doubt you would have us down a a regular play-off team.

| Quote ="Kosh"No it doesn't. In fact he specifically states that he went into the deal with his eyes wide open.
Rather than 'spinning' anything I'd say that AP is being exceptionally open about the state of the club and how the issues are going to be addressed. In particular the information about how the cost base of the club was unrealistically low and hence the profits of the past several years were unsupportable in the long term is interesting reading and sheds welcome light on an area of much speculation. Long may such 'spin' continue.'"
I agree. If anything it reads to me more like he's just letting us fans know how much we were in the dark, not him.

Makes me laugh they forget that When the press first mentioned about their clubs losses Hudgell denied it only later to come out and say they had to make those losses to be competitive.

| I predict at least 40 pages for this thread.
Does this loss include the 100k for Westerman or was that the previous year ?
No too bothered this year as long as the trend continues downwards. AP is right. "If you build it they will come"

Even taking this into account, FC's profit since 2004 is £0.5m. During this time Rovers lost £1.9m excluding 2011. So the differential is £2.4m in FC's favour.
Next!

He's been quite impressive over the last few weeks, his honesty has been refreshing.

| AP comes in ,
1, covers the tax debt and god knows what else himself,
2, listens to the fans,
3, is honest with the fans wether we like what he is saying or not its warts an all honesty .
4, bins all the deadwood and brings in the best he can get his hands on to turn the ship around .
5, promotes the youth internally.
6, looks to invest even more cash than he already has
and asks nothing more than support of the new regime and a chance from us lot!!!
we should all be thankful that AP has taken over FC as he clearly seems a man of immense integrity and honesty, the more i see what he says in the press etc the more I like the guy and we should ALL get behind him 100% and push those gates back to where they should be and reward Mr Pearson for taking on what is clearly a huge job on all fronts but a job he has done quietly and professionally whilst steadying the ship at the club I love ..
in AP we trust and my family will support the new regime at all times!!
