Ron's spin
Ron's latest message on the official site is a clear indication that he is trying to create division amongst the fans who are opposed to his sale of GP.
Lets forget the confidentiality agreement thing, it has absolutely no bearing on the future of this club. Lets concentrate instead on the facts and fiction he is spinning us as to why we need to move to Kingston.
Fact- we owe him £4m.
Fact- he will get this back in total if we sell GP.
Fact - we will make far greater losses at Kingston than we currently make at GP.
His different versions of the projected losses give me the impression that he either knows the real figures and is keen not to divulge them (possibly they dont make bad enough reading) or he just has no idea what they really are which would be a greater worry.
We have heard him spout on about losses varying from £1.25m a year to £12000 a week if you read different quotes from him during the past 12 months. Fact of the matter is that in the 4 years nearly he has been here, given that we have made nearly £2m in the transfer market and are now £4m in debt, he has presided over average operational losses of £1.5m a season.
He was quoted lst year well before the end of the season as saying the losses were £20,000 a week which is around a million. This was well before the sale of Mahon, the play off final and semi final revenue (for which his figures recently given look alarmingly low to me), the signing of the contract with Broncos and the release of 3 players and a manager whose combined wages amounted to surely nearly 300k per annum.
We also have to come another 100k for Mahon hopefully and within 12 months will be able to get 3 of the highest paid players off the payroll. )McCammon, Oli Gott and Marshall).
All in all with the new TV deal also in place earning Div 2 clubs 200k a s eason if he still insists we will lose huge amounts of money at GP then I am more than a tad confused as to how.
If we go to Kingston the low gates will finish us becauase we will have no income.
WE must stay at GP until a ground with revenue streams is available.
He only wants to sell it to get his funding back.
If he is that desperate for cash let him sell Selhurst Park and retain GP.
We are the mugs here if we buy his threats about the fans being responsible for putting the club out of business.
Martin Lange is totally right to veto the current arrangements.
This is now turning into a war against a man whose sole purpose is to get his money back.
If he is allowed to move us to Kingston he has won the war and we are dead.
