verlaine1979 Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Since sacking MP and bringing anyone else in is likely to involve spending a minimum of £5-6m (possibly a lot more) I wonder if the problem is that extraordinary expenses of that nature have to be approved by the majority shareholder, and that authorisation isn't forthcoming? It would certainly explain why Reed and Kruger seem able offer little but platitudes and pledges, and presumably their terms of employment would forbid them from coming out and telling us that the reason they're not doing anything is because they aren't allowed to. All speculation, as we've heard nothing from the owners, but I'd be very surprised if anyone other than Gao had the final say over expenditure at that level.

Batman Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Don't buy it. Little 'snippets' about all controlling Gao would have made its way to Jeremy Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimatt Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Far more likely that Gao doesn't know much about the football side and is leaving Reed and Krueger to (not) make the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 He's clearly sitting back and letting the people who 'are here' make the calls, so this is all in Reed's and Krugers court. There will be money to terminate his contract. If there isn't, then there should be an enquiry as to where the **** it has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were seemingly prepared to spend £30m on Quincy Promes in the hope he would keep us up. Seeing as we didn't, spending £5m to pay off one of the worst managers in PL history instead to help keep us up seems like a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Gao has no idea, he's not responsible (although anyone with zero knowledge of football would surely realise we're in a mess) This is ALL on Krueger and Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsaint Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Can’t believe Kat sold the club to this shower. All this talk of making sure our future is safeguarded and that it’s the correct decision for everyone and we’re on the cusp of relegation which could so easily result in a second relegation next season. Gao must have advisors who would have put him in the picture about our current plight and the financial implications? Why no action, or even a statement from him.

Stud mark of doom Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Pretty sure they don’t “pay off” managers. They just keep paying them, so no lump sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 10 March, 2018 Share Posted 10 March, 2018 Something doesn't add up: either Gao has totally handed day to day control to Ralph/Les (why would you do that?) or Gao is quite happy to go down and thinks he can rinse his 200m through the Championship. #fishy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
