Commercial side and general running are two different things. We've let things slide for too many years now and are reaping the punishment for that. So the club have no real choice to pull their finger out of their bottoms and try and get the commercial side making some money.

I see we've got a new portrait screen up, (financed by lifeline and our own other lotteries funding), which apparently will lead to bigger commercial benefits.

As much as most of our fans hate Man U with a rabid passion - their commercial model is one to be copied - albeit at a much smaller level.

You cannot separate commercial and general running as one is dependant on the other. Debts are payable by the club which is both.
As football club is generally run by managing a team and budget which if successful will give you commercial success. No success on the football side and you have nothing to market commercially. Fail commercially and you have no funds to allocate to the football side it has to make its own and pay the commercial losses at the same time.
Fail on either and the other will likely hit problems. Fail on both and you are probably looking at Bolton Wanderers.

We now have Derik out for three weeks.

Things can only get worse.

It has. Wheater has injured himself again playing against Southport. Down to the bare bones at the back. Dervite and ream are the only senior centre back options for derby.

Remember what D:Ream said.

Yes of course but those that know song writing would have written Things can only get worser.
It must be true as PG told me.

Blood y typical. We have Davies who's always crocked, (not at the moment but just wait and see.) Wheater and goodness knows who else who will be missing for most of the season.

Unfortunately if things don't change this season we need to see them on their way. The squad is down to the bare bones and we can't afford to accommodate players who are injury prone.

Well the club extended wheaters contract a couple of years ago knowing he is injury prone, still has a year to go, no chance of a renewal. They are going to have to use the loan market again.

What is the B side of that D:Ream tune.
Isn't it a remix of 19th Nervous breakdown by the Stones ?

Perhaps the team should try doing light warmups and downs by doing the Mick swagger.

Does anybody remember reading this one a few weeks back.

Pre-season of @OfficialBWFC is just one of many examples of how far coaching is behind in JurassUK Park. Accumulation of fatigue. Injuries.
5:24 PM - 7 Jul 2015

Perhaps it was Manic Depression on the B side.
Nurse Nurse fetch the eye drops I need a drink.

If we get a total of 46 games from Clough, Mavies and Clayton combined that would be something. Each having a go at the number 10 role while the other 2 recover. As for CB Derik has learnt quick. 2 games in and 10 games out!

Will nothing ever change? Sick of this pre-season injury nightmare happening every year
