Q&A with Norman Smurthwaite - Supporters Club Mtg

[Doha]

I think he only loves the club because of the status it gives him as a football club owner, plus the free hospitality of course.

 

He literally admitted as much at the meeting.

 

Total wänker.

[elav trop 1876]

can anybody tell me the point of the meeting from the cov fuhrer point of view,,it certainly wasn't to galvanise or give answers as there is more questions in addition to those he avoided replying to plus attempting to get his peasants(his perception) to scrape a few coins from their mud huts to help him feed more only turned more against him.

 

I don't see the chess move here from the master, if he plays I would love to give him a game

[werstayinup]

No,points deduction.

 

I am not sure but it could be more serious than that with what would be our 3rd admin

That is something he had in common with Bratt...i hated Bratt and the cronies with a passion BUT i do think Norman is now far more dangerous...what do we do to deserve these owners

[bycars bootboy]

I'm not sure LLDLDDLLDDDDL can really be described as a canter.

 

Your statistics are irrelevant,as were still 7 points clear Santa.

[Santa]

It's relevant to whether or not it's a canter.

 

More of a trot, with a couple of three legged horses bringing up the rear.

[bycars bootboy]

That chant would take 3 weeks of practice for the people I stand by. We need to keep it simple

 

You must be referring to the Lorne St Muriel.

[blackdog]

How many do you think would SHO,Source?1000 STs = 300k,2000Sts = 600k etc.If he’s finding what he says every month,do you think he couldn’t find the extra shortfall?

 

He's not losing that amount every month,my guess is that was a snapshot month and he used that to put the frighteners on us,why he decry's his own business and yet still says it's for sale is a mystery,there again all the figures he gave might be bogus and he's doing alright out of the club, if not on the playing side,who knows it's a mystery.

[valiant steve]

He is not capable of telling the truth.

Actually if you divide the playing budget of 1.6m by 12 it’s 133k that’s on top of staff wages. With no income in May, June and July you can see where he,s coming from.

But 800k is a bit imaginative and Norman reading ghost stories to the frightened fans.

Most players contracts run out at the end of June so he can cut his losses if half the squad do not get new contracts.

Unfortunately if Aspin wants to sign the right players he will need to make them offers early and not wait for the dregs left who nobody wants.

[SourceOfTheTrent]

He is not capable of telling the truth.

 

I honestly think he's a narcissist with a serious personality disorder, not unknown amongst successful business people but it's a disaster in a business such as football because of the massive emotional attachment of the customers coupled with the number of uncontrollable variables involving people and all their own personality foibles.

 

I'm serious about that I'm not just saying it to be derogatory or as a mickey take.

That's why, for the good of the club, it's vital that NS engages with our owner in waiting to negotiate a sale viable for both sides. If he clings on to ownership, the club's season ticket sales will struggle to reach four figures and attendances next season will be sub 2000.

NS has had ample opportunity to improve the match day experience and has failed miserably. The club is sinking at an alarming pace and the only way to arrest the slide is to sell asap so that a new owner can galvanise the supporters and, vitally, support Aspo in strengthening the squad.

[valiant steve]

The sale could be completed in May.NS could then walk away with some self respect and dignity intact and enjoy his retirement. We could get our season tickets and look forward to the new season getting behind Aspin and the team. Hopefully as a L2 club.
