The Laughing Thread, the gift that keeps on giving.

[salford city]

I read over the weekend that scruffy jim was planning another round of 200 redundancies. Closing down their London office. INEOS are up to their necks in debt. The glazers must be laughing their cocks off

Yet Wilcox is still employed and no one there knows what he does

Fair play to him. Long may it continue. Scruffy Jim seems to be going after the support staff with his cost cutting. Leave the playing staff and coaches on top ££ contracts the more they earn, the less chance they will have to spend. No chumps league again will hit hard ass well.

antony with 3 in 3 for betis
pellers working wonders with him

Amazing really. Everyone they sign is brilliant before they go there, turn to shite as soon as they arrive, then revert to brilliance as soon as they leave.
Even the managers seem to do the same.
There's something really rotten at the swamp.

Long may it continue.

I believe it’s the old pisscan , Trampvestite Jim may have cut his money But he is still there smelling the place out ,

Yep, that's exactly how I see it too.
Long may he continue to haunt them.

I still hope one day he will take charge again and be absolutely fucking awful and tarnish what he achieved previously

I've not paid much attention scruffy Jim and his practises, but this is on the web......

Ineos has been accused by some of buying assets then cutting costs through the introduction of new working practices, lower wages, and terminating pension schemes.

Ineos Industries, slumped to a loss of just over €1bn in 2023 from a profit of €1.5bn the year before.

Also production of his rip off Land Rover had stop in 2024 because thsy couldn't get parts, not sure if it has started again yet.

Yeah, his chemical sites are suffering due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and looks like he’s having to cut costs across everything as a result which is nice.Loving this current idea of him justifying putting ticket prices up to not get done by PSR. Can see the fans getting right behind that

And they still owe over £400M to other clubs for transfers

Effectively their debt is £900+M

Excellent

Failure to win the Europa League and get into the CL next season could mean administration is a very real possibility

Wonder if a billion pound debt will make the FA and UEFA take any notice.
After all, all this fair play shite was to stop clubs falling into unmanageable debt.

Or so they told us.

Ironic that it's Omar complaining about leaks when most of City's stopped as soon as he left.

In fairness that's probably happened at City too.

We went from leaking like a sieve to being as tight as a duck's arse.

[zuricity]

There is an article, stating that the Rags owners and Jim have an agreement if they are up for sale in the summer Jim has first options. However it seems to imply that Jimbo might be out in the summer .
