Question A question for Steve Kavanagh

[Yorkshire Blue]

Did the budget for this season envisage the club going out in the first round of the:

*JPT;
*League Cup; and the
*FA Cup?

Interesting question YB, why not email it to him and see what response you get?

I hope they did budget on that. Anything else would be gambling and we all know where Ron got us doing that.

I have sent SK a text asking YB's question.

SK has declined to answer.

Cheers Ken.

Speaks volumes doesn't it?

 

[OldBlueLady]

SK has declined to answer.

Do you mean that is what he has said, or has he ignored the question? There is a difference!

I would assume the former as I doubt Ken would have only given him 14 minutes to respond. ..

I am sure SK could only say, ' As a business we cannot budget for the possibility of cup success and must always factor in the worst case scenarios. However I am very pleased to announce that due to prudent fiscal measures we are in receipt of a substantial windfall. Thank you William Hill'.

 

[Smiffy]

Why can he not answer that?

 

[Firestorm]

Would you expect the details of your companies budget to be discussed in public ?

 

[McNasty]

He will not answer questions like that.

He should do. As fans, we need to know our football club is being run correctly. If we are banking on cup runs to keep us above, then we are in bigger trouble than we thought. SK should be open and transparent, not ignoring questions that are difficult for him to be honest about

 

[Bkdside]

Why would a private company answer questions around budget? Ridiculous and nothing to do with us fans as much as some think we are board members.

Total bollocks! As fans we are entitled to nothing, however, as shareholders we might be entitled to ask questions because at least there we have an element of accountability to request information on. Your everyday fan has no such entitlement.

 

[Lester Bangs]

I can't believe a football club would be so presumptuous as to build in earnings from latter stages of cup competitions as part of their annual budget.

It wouldn't be prudent at all.

Why it's almost as if the Taylor Report recommended fan representation on the board!

Football clubs not being prudent?

Well if that is the case they can stick their season ticket and my money up their arses. Why should I give them my hard earned money and not know that it's going to a sound and stable company.

Because you do that every time you go into a shop to buy something don't you? I'm sure there are plenty of people who used to enthuse about Woolworths, Blockbusters and various other places over the years. We are all JUST consumers.
