Anyone complaining about Pappa should check out the latest report from Deloitte. The financial state of football is dire, only a handful of clubs are solvent and thanks to Pappa we are one of them.
In 2010 Mancity spent 107% of their income on salaries and if the TV money went the game would implode! The lunatics are running the assylum and Pappa gets criticised because he doesn't try to copy them.

I'll rephrase my question specially for you,
Can someone tell us who it was that turned our club from owing MILLIONS into a club that does not owe MILLIONS?
Come on, put up or shut up!
We know we went down like a dead weight and that we're climbing back up the greasy pole. We know some fans don't like our Chairman and we know some want rid, but who was it?
I understand that if we gain promotion to the PL the financial benefits will outweigh any deficit we may have. I therefore do not agree with your point that KB doesn't want LUFC to progress upwards. You are entitled to your opinion.

Walsall...I'll say this one more time. The company belongs to Pappa! He bought it just like you or I could have done. But we didn't and he did so whatever he does with it is his choice. We are supporters and we either support or don't which is our choice!
What you and your ilk do is as silly as standing outside AZDA headquarters and barracking the chairman because you do your big shop with them and he spends the companys profits in a way in which you don't approve.

Walsall. I supported the team when we had Don Weston and Ian Lawson playing for us both of which cost money and weren't great players but they were our players and we supported them. None of us checked the balance sheet to see if all the money was accounted for because we were fans of football not accountancy!

Jonty...I'm pleased it amused you, it's comforting to bring a little light into what must be a very dull and bitter life such as yours.
