As much as I would love to think /believe this -I think that ship well & truly sailed when the TV money arrived & its not coming back any time soon.

He only runs the day to day running of the club, as Textor said, but he doesn't make any major changes, Textor does, Manager, signings, he even said he deals with Freedman, i am not saying this is good or bad, but that's what happens.

Say what you like about Textor but he is right about FFP.

It simply keeps the big clubs at the top and stops smaller clubs from spending.
I don't doubt that the top clubs would remain so, but the gap would be smaller. What needs to be regulated is the leaching of money by agents and wages.
The majority of cash should be spent on facilities and transfers.

Imagine if we could spend some of Textor's money.

Cobblers, the 3 other voters are not going to be told what to do by Mr 10%, he takes 2 million out a year, the others put money in, the money he put in originally was 2 million, he hasn't done bad, i am not saying Textor is better or worse, but he can get 51% of shares together for an EGM, no other Director can do that, but at the moment he doesn't want too.

Nice words..

It could be his way of being more vocal and present with the media, maybe gearing up for a change of guard? Who knows.. it's obvious he cares, it's obvious he has put a lot of money in and he's drawn his line in the sand with the ultra's, which I quite like.. they are no different to you or I and at the end of the day, they can be replaced - sure the atmosphere may be different but the tickets will still sell and ice goes on, they are not part of the board...

This was once a quality forum....

I have tried to attach the directors remuneration from the last published accounts - hopefully it will show -

Basically it says 2021 / 22 SP took just over 800,000 in salary & in 2022/ 23 he took 1,700,000 but most of it was a bonus payment for previous years which he will likely invest back into the club -

Also I think the key from the below is that Textor could push for an EGM, so far he hasent ( whether he does at the end of the season we will have to wait & see)

Also in the interview he says that all of the directors are willing to invest more but are prevented by profit & sustainability, so that kind of debunks the myth that H & B arent interested.
