THST/THFC Board to Board Meeting Minutes

We regressed from a period of 'over acheiving' - you're always likely to do that until you're on a more even footing with those above. Some of that is our own doing and some if it is other clubs doing well, for us to have continued our upward curve of improvement we would have had to have got every decision right along the way - that's just not a very realistic target over many seasons. The important thing to remember is we are much better off than when we started (with ENIC) and that even despite our recent regression we've only fallen to what you have to consider as our rightful position in the pecking order (as it stands) which IMV is no reason to want the owners out.

As for the validity of the points, as per FiBs response - there isn't much validity there at all.

Average league position the last ten seasons - 6.2
Average league position the ten years before ENIC - 10.8

I'm not complaining, but I'm not happy with the fact that West Ham are going to have a bigger stadium than us. Is there the option for us to increase our new stadium once we move in?

So your position on Enic would be different if the OS had gone to Orient instead of West Ham?
 
The Enic Out chap was on a podcast 2 weeks ago, he said he registered the Enic Out name on Twitter when he was annoyed after a defeat ages ago... then it got some traction and he thought ooh blimey, I better do something with it then. I doubt even he agrees with most of that list. But if you trawl through half a million fans, you'll find 200 people that agree with anything you like.
 
what a load of *******s, I'm the first to say they could have done better over last couple of years (ok, so I say quite vehemently they should have done better) but that poster/flyer is ridiculous

all I want for them is to stop making mistakes and bring a bit more cash into the club, there shouldn't be a flat surface at the lane or the training ground without a sponsors logo on it

I'd take a billionaire if one appeared but I appreciate we could be in far worse hands

Well, you never know, with the right new owners we could become the next City

But you're dead right, knowing our luck we could just as easily become the next Leeds

or Portsmouth

or Villa

So. as some of us kept saying when people wanted Harry out -

Careful what you wish for!
 
So your position on Enic would be different if the OS had gone to Orient instead of West Ham?

Leyton Orient are in a different division. If they were to be promoted within a few years and reach the Premier League, then yes I would have a problem with it. But they don't have anywhere near a big enough fanbase to justfiy using that stadium. I know West Ham have a smaller fanbase than we do, but they'll pull out all the stops to try and get close to filling it i.e. kids for a quid/10p.

I think this is the crux of it for me. I also appreciate it could be a hell of a lot worse and realise ENIC have improved things compared to the Sugar days, but I don't think it's entitlement or spoilt behaviour to perhaps wonder if we could also do better.

OK then - so would your position on ENIC have been better if we had got the Olympic stadium instead of West Ham?
 
also butting in, if ENIC had made a compelling financial case for the OS i'd have been on board with it

I agree and I have been going to the lane for 50 years many of them as a S/T holder. We need a bigger ground and if the only way of getting one is to move away so be it.

that'll all get Levy's eye's rolling, I bet he'd rather spend an evening with Florentino Perez

if his answer to 4.1 isn't "fudge off you imbeciles" i'll be amazed

I find it odd that people still don't get the DoF system, considering we first introduced it in 1991.

4.4 is easy to answer. He just needs to promise that spending will remain the same through the build period as it has for the past 6 years. Again, a lot of people don't seem to have twigged that we've been making profits on transfers since January 2009.

It's always the same.

The last set of minutes of theirs I read were essentially them stamping on the ground, going red in the face and shouting "But why haven't we bought any players?"
 
That sounds like MK is nailed on.
"Naming Rights was something that would be arrived at mid project" - I thought they declared who had agreed the naming rights in the Archway court case?
