I didn't listen but I've heard enough of the likes of White, Durham, Gough in the past to know the rhetoric used. They all behave like the rebels without a cause on a daily basis. They attack topics raised having carried out minimal research,

An example was on Wednesday when Durham announced obnoxiously that HE had an issue with ex pros suggesting Sean Dyche should be manager of the year. The thicket sat with him Gough agreed.

I just thought will Sean Dyche be bothered about being manager of the year, probably not. Sean will probably care even less that Adrian fuckin Durham and the workhouse butty sat with him have an issue with it.

And the basis of Durhams rant was we haven't won away (fair comment) but alls it needed was one of them too say "well they do still have the bottom 6 all to play away so perhaps etc etc"

It would at least show they've looked into the subject matter up for discussion.

No mention of the Trust having to write off similar amounts, almost like that's a dirty secret they aren't allowed to mention.
That information is based upon VLl accounts I think? The actual accounts for the club will be available early next week.

The amount of times their fans go on about being such a well run club under Walker and the Trust just shows how thick they are. They've made profits in only 4 seasons since 1991 when Walker took control (25 years!!), with one of those being when Shearer was sold or they would have made another huge loss. Besides a couple of small profits, they've lost £223m since the first Premier League season in 1993.

It's simple to work out then because until then their accounts were only minus a couple of £million on the balance sheet; £223m, minus £104m current debt (to June '15) = £119m ish that's been written off.

Making losses season, after season, after season, and relying on benefactor cash to write it off, is not being a well run club.
