No way he should be playing in League One, was fantastic at Elland Road, but lost something after he was dropped for Schmeichel. Thought he'd walk into a lower Championship side.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

So, the man that said to Weymouth fans that he was going nowhere has finally made his move :roll:

Such a surprise eh?

So, aren't they forgetting to ask how many seats are on the actual board, who else will be board members and their roles and just how much is the 24% shared fan ownership of the club going to cost the fans trust.

Jeez - there must be at least a further 20 questions related to this offer I can think of off the top of my head, yet the Trust post seems to gloss over any detail, and tells them to accept this offer!!

Feckin' bizarre!

Frying Pan.

Oppps - Fire!!

Alfreton winning 3-0 which means that the Ploppies are 7 points away from safety as it stands.

I like it how Rolls is letting the Trust and fans pay the 42k HMRC Debt, no doubt thats the fee for the 24% share of the club.

Alfreton 4 up now, Bath winning 1-0, so as it stands KTFC are 4 points from the bottom spot and 7 points from safety.

It will be a miracle if they stay up but fair play to this guy, optimism all the way:
the real ace wrote:What is needed is £3 off all prices for the remainder of the season, bigger crowds and improved results. With this package we will be able to go into next season with greater confidence and make a credible challenge to be BSP champions, and that goal of League football will at last be acheived by what we all know is the best football club in England.

There doesn't seem to be any evidence that Rolls has put in any money - and yet the Poppies fans aren't questioning that they are being asked to meet debts that neither Ladak nor Rolls seem prepared to meet. They are already queueing to kiss the feet of Rolls the messiah - whilst trying to raise funds to meet the first of many of these debts (HMRC) without thought on where funds might come from going forwards given there will be little gate revenue between now and August.

It's yet another parallel with how Cousins handed over RDFC to the Beasants - how long will it be before they are asked to buy next season's tickets early? Similarly they haven't asked who the other directors are - it appears there is at least one more person involved as well as Rolls and Jeune if there is a 4-way split to give the 26, 25, 25, 24% split.

In another parallel there are some initiatives to sweat the facilities - perhaps the efforts of Steph Ashton and Ken Wilde who were brought in by the Beasants will be comparable - anyone remember the Valentine's Night initiative ?
