Norm,

You are quite correct. I believe most of the owners investment in the club was to pay off bills that the club owed. Paying that sort of money out for the club means there is less for players. It is known that when we resigned Che Grabbandam (didn't fit in with Paul Barnes style of play), his wages were paid directly out of the owners pocket. I just do not believe the current squad play for free - someone is paying them; and the boost the budget scheme goes towards that. What we need to understand is that there is a lease break clause in our current tenancy coming up. Unless we can buy our freehold back (we owned the freehold before the Thames Club was built. somehow th freehold was solid for development and \none of the proceeds came back to the club. The £70k from our FA Cup run tor pond 2 went on an Aston Martin, not into the club. Are you really asking the current owners (now on out of four who originally bought the club) to have elastic pockets just for our gratification? We are all in the cake together and we need to work together to get out - not just rely on other people. Rant over






The police phoned me to tell me my wife was in hospital.

"How is she?" I asked.

"Very critical" replied the officer.

"Oh great. What's she complaining about now?" I asked.
