Smurf on Radio Stoke

[Jimmy]

I thought that he'd paid £1.2M?

 

Yes plus the new shop , ground improvements etc......He stated he had spent more than he had bought the Club paid for Adolph......;)

I didn't realise that he'd spent his cash on the shop.

 

But not sure about the ground improvements

[Memphis]

Really???

 

He sounded like he was about to cry.

 

Not sure why everyone is *****-footing around him.

 

You've obviously got something to say, or think that you know something, so why don't you do us all a favour and either come out with it or just **** off?

Just giving an honest opinion, if I thought it was bad I would have said so.

[Eddie Hitler]

You're wrong.

 

My comments were based on a 10 minute interview, in which, IMO, he sounded very uncomfortable.

 

The situation with NS is causing all of the same old BS from fans as we have seen before.

 

It would seem that criticism and support of him are mutually exclusive.

[werstayinup]

Maybe because he has put £2.8M of his own cash into saving this Club........

 

Also hasn't he said he will be putting in another million this season of his own money?

[Jacko51]

Also hasn't he said he will be putting in another million this season of his own money?

 

I didn't think he could do that???

[werstayinup]

I didn't think he could do that???

 

I thought someone said he had said that in an interview Jean,must be wrong then.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

I didn't think he could do that???

 

He can but it can't simply be used to finance playing staff cos of FL rules on that

[butt lane vale fan]

I thought someone said he had said that in an interview Jean,must be wrong then.

 

Yeah he said, why would he kick off over a measly sum of £10,000 he was reported to of asked the Sentinel for, when that would only be 1% of what he'd put in, in the last 12 months.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Can he give me a measly £10,000 please..he won't miss it :)

In my opinion SMURF thought it would be straight forward running a football club,shop run by shop manager,ground run by groundsman,ticket office run by a manager etc etc ,before Smurf came to the club it was reported he had retired and had his other business run by others, just popping in now and then as you do when retired,how wrong could he be,I wouldn't blame him for selling to the rite folk,but who in the rite mind would buy PVFC ? Only a very rich youngish VALE fan would be my choice but not many of them about,any one know of any ?

[Conrad]

PVFC is actually an attractive proposition at this level, ie. no debt, owns it's own ground.

He was expecting Wilde to run the club, so a learning curve is in progress, especially getting out of Wilde`s "Chelsea" contracts, and moving into the 21st century.
