Aye surely Brighton would have been on the phone chasing payment before it got to this stage. Can’t be a simple admin error. that would have come to light fairly quickly. Bigger problems is why are we paying money for Miller. Guy was here on work experience! Could only have been a couple hundred a week we were paying
Well said BFYP

I don’t think it was at all well said by BFYP, especially the comment that he has no confidence that the current regime can turn things around.I find the criticisms of the club on this thread quite breathtaking. It’s as if you are all waiting for an opportunity to jump in and slag off the club. None of you know the details behind this issue and yet you act like baying hounds who can’t wait to dive in and throw criticism and insults at the people running the club.Call yourselves supporters?! Shame on you.Every company I’ve worked for has at some time paid invoices later than the due dates, for all sorts of reasons. And I’m not talking about “tin pot” companies. Have any of you ever missed paying your credit card bills on time, or are you all f**king perfect?Some of the posts on this thread sound like the tantrums of toddlers. We don’t know the background to this issue so wind your necks in for f**ks sake.And if the late payments were for the services of Todd f**king Miller, good on the club! Brighton sent us a pup and they should pay us compensation!To all those ranting about how shit our club is, I say get a grip and be careful what you wish for.
PR wash your mouth out. Have always supported the board etc and have even criticised some fellow supporters. However, you to do not know the facts. Are you right or the people questioning. Your comment is no better than people asking what’s happened and worrying about our clubSo maybe, you’ve careful what you put

Pancho, what gives you the confidence on those running the club? (I don't mean the coaching management team btw)
Pancho,Look where we are in the league.We are going backwards year on year.Look at a local rival in Scunthorpe and tell me that you don’t believe we are going the same way?What makes you think that we are going to stay up?I see absolutely nothing to suggest that we will get another win all season.
The annoying thing over the past 3 seasons are of course the performances, but the way the club has talked rubbish, silent majority who has done a great deal for supporters has pretty much being duped by the club into saying how good the budgets are ect. To keep the fans on board
Well I've seen some tripe written on this message board before but I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. It seems like any excuse to stick the boot in will suffice.We were well aware that this was in the offing and the circumstances that led to it. It was a simple mistake, brought about by a change in the EFL ruling in the summer, compounded by a FD who was having a difficult patch.It's no biggy, the CEO and TB were unaware that this was happening and the EFL, because it was more of a technical issue than anything else, were as lenient as they could be given the way the ruling was written.I just can't believe what I'm seeing on this forum, mountains and molehills spring to mind!!

(I don't mean the coaching management team btw)Because Terry Bramhall truly cares about the Club. So much so that he has recently taken what must have been a very difficult decision in removing his long-time colleague and business partner, David Blunt, from the position of Chairman of the Club in order to take over the reigns himself.Terry has too much dignity and humanity to sack Blunt and slag him off, but clearly he was not happy with the way the Club was going and he acted decisively.Terry has said that he looks back with pride at the time we were in the Championship and he wants those times to return. I believe him.Gavin Baldwin is an excellent CEO and would be coveted by many other clubs much higher in the football pyramid. The work he has done behind the scenes to improve the financial stability of the Club and to safeguard its future is exemplary. He also cares passionately about the Rovers, I can assure you of that.We have had an awful three years or so, and I’m hurting just as much as any other fan.But Terry and Gavin feel the same pain and they are desperate to turn things around. Do you think it was easy to sack the previous Manager and bring in McCann? Was that the act of a Board who don’t care or who are incompetent?It’s time to do what fans should do. Take a deep breath, roll up our sleeves and get behind the team and the Club in its hour of need.That what I’m trying to do.Others can deal with the current situation as they see fit.

He's moved on now, away from football too I understand.I doubt very much if we will ever have anything similar happening whilst TB is Chair, if anything he'll pay everything in advance!
