JKENKINS IS GONE

The club statement saying Jenkins has stepped down from the chairmanship doesn't actually clarify that he's totally left the club. He is obviously still a shareholder, and no indication he has resigned his directorship, are we inadvertently still paying him a wage?

Can’t see that one slipping past Pearlman. HJ is now like a Prime Minister retired to the back benches, so perhaps he can act in the best interests of the Club and the City, as he always used to.

Right or wrong the board saw a big spend then was the first step on the slippery slope.
I think that would depend on the DOF at the time, I'm assuming that was Jenkins. There's no way any board should automatically see a big spend as negative equity, bought right a player can and will return tenfold compared to bank interest rates. This has always been a reason why I've believed Jenkins should never have been chairman. Being a recent bankrupt when he held the position negative thoughts would always be in the forefront when it came to spending money. The speculate to accumulate was never one of his fortes, other than of course when it involved a no risk personal financial gain. He turned down a Chinese investment deal (which was probably too legal) for the American one. That Chinese consortium are now the investors in Wolverhampton Wanderers, where are they now compared to us? that's just one of the opportunities he lost us due to his greed.

As I understood the situation from my 'source' (very reliable) at the time, a quality striker had been lined up for £500k but Jenkins refused the outlay and we missed promotion that season by just one goal: on goals scored if my memory has it right. He had no way, no way at all of knowing that we would go up the following season but he lucked out.

Had he done his calculations properly, the outlay would have been covered, more or less, by the play-off game gate receipts as we would probably have reached the play-offs with a good striker. Had we gone on to lose the Final, the entire cost would have been covered by the tradition of the winning team handing over their share of the Wembley gate, as we did with Reading. Short sighted doesn't begin to describe it!!

Think we may be starting to get under their skins across the pond, apparently Kaplan has closed his Twitter A/c due to abuse.

The acid test .... do we miss him going forward. In this interim period until the role is filled ... will there be so much as a hiccup.

I said I will not renew my season if they sell Dan James. Now I feel they will sell half the team and Dan in the summer!!! Not sure whether to put my money in the Yankee pocket, I want to renew but I despise these grasping, robbing ,asset stripping, lying,cheating ,thieving ,Yankee bandits.
