Will 2,958 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hasn't been mentioned yet that Gibson failed in his proposals re ffp yesterday. Not surprising in the slightest, he should be focusing on how badly his own club has been mismanaged from top to bottom. I get the feeling Gibson was expecting/wanting to fail, now he can get away with breaking the rules too. I 100% agree, that's what it seems like from the outside looking in. I think we have been doing it exactly by the book. Now the meeting has failed we now have a licence to be creative and avoid any sanctions. If we do get caught it's now a case of "well everyone else is doing that too". Covering our own backs before Gibson buys the Riverside for £100m in the summer :omg: Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of couples up with the rumours. I'm sure all will be revealed one way or another over the summer. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 54 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Anyone think the timing of the gazette doing pieces on AK is a bit odd Not really. Karanka had just recently done an interview in Spain so the Gazette has jumped on his comments as there isn't much to write about at the moment. No transfer gossip. No new injuries. Just another defeat. An opportunity to fill the sports section without having to look for an actual story. Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,385 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Nothing new heard I guess. Imagine it would be something that took a long time to sort out if it is in fact actually happening. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 I have heard nothing more on this. I will ask and see what comes back. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 It would be interesting to know if there is truth to this. Looking forward to your update. Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Nothing new heard I guess. Imagine it would be something that took a long time to sort out if it is in fact actually happening. It’s interesting that Huddersfield have been sold to another local businessman. Shows that clubs like ours can have a succession without needing it to be a huge deal.
