Where did this rumour come from? I've been reading on here for weeks now that we are skint but there doesn't appear to be any concrete evidence. Does any exist??
Is it because we have signed only for players?? We signed over 20 last year and i'm pretty sure that most of these signings were made on the basis that they were good enough for the championship, if not they have to leave befoe new faces are brought in (Hayes and Clarke). The board may have told Powell that after last years investments we have to stick with what we have
board members have left? So!!! Maybe Jiminez wanted them out as they didnt share the same vision. Jiminez seems to be the kind of guy that gets what he wants and if he wanted the other bord members out then thats up to him. It doesnt suggets we are in financial trouble.
My view is that the board are trying to build slowly and with caution. Last time we were in this league we spent in the region of £5m that we didnt have on McCloud, Varney and Grey and were reportidly on the verge of administration.
Just my view but I would be interested to see if any evidence of us being skint exists

Nothing seems to be clear about this situation . But everything's fine until it's not
I have.
However no one is saying we are skint and about to become the next Portsmouth. Every business has cash flow problems, and its hard to tell just how serious ours were. Personally I believe that we were in a fair amount of trouble at the start of the summer, now the problems have eased up a little, and in order to make further signings we just need to get a few players of the wage bill (Hayes, Clarke for 2).
So in answer to your question, no there is no concrete evidence, but there is plenty of evidence that does show there is something going on behind the scenes....how bad you believe this to be I guess depends on how much you trust posters on here, and how much you trust Jiminez and Slater.
Not Elsie Van PG?
As I see it, when the new board came in they had to urgently fix the football side to stop the downward spiral of the last six years. They did that. They did that so well that that they made downwards becoming shooting upwards. At the end of the season the time came to turn their attentions to the staffing management side. This is the best way round they could have done it. Maybe their clean out of the boardroom / management offices will go as well as their clean up of the football side?
There is no evidence of money being taken out of the club - quite the opposite in fact and the only thing that could be considered is that there was a board re-structure and a couple of board members left, but they weren't the ones with the money.
If I was you Todd's I would not worry about a thing at the moment and just enjoy our success last season and enjoying this season. Until the club comes out and says we are in trouble, I believe it's best for all of us to look forward rather than worry all the time!
