This forum was a much nicer read when I replaced all the instances of "they" with "we" and "them" with "us" just now.

Agree.
If for example, Martin Gray has said 'we' have been asked to reduce costs by £85k rather than 'they have told us' it would have been more appropriate.

But in fairness it surely was a point of the board telling him. Because it certainly shouldn't have been "MG would you mind reducing the budget by 85k?"

The next thing that worries me is how big is our budget at this level if we are taking a 85k cut.?

The point of the thread was more some of our fans attitudes towards their fellow fans, really. MG has a different relationship with the club, that of employee/employer.

"MG has a different relationship with the club, that of employee/employer."

It would be a curious relationship whereby (within a major meeting) an employee stood up and described a completely different vision for the company than the one held by the employers. Also, not sharing any of those 'thoughts' with the employer beforehand and in private, is a strange example of the employee / employer relationship.

Yes, a very awkward situation.

Probably because we think MG is Jesus. (And he isn't, he's a really naughty boy!)
