Re: Don Bircham Statement RE Club Loans
Never forget the clearing of the pitch of snow then into the pub for chips and sausage.
Don had leadership qualities. You wanted to do things for him.

Bircham wanted anonymity as did the lady who did the late 2016 apparently chunky loan. There are ways to keep things anon, but note they occurred. As I have posted a few times I don't think I can recall anyone saying we should not use cheap/free/easy cashflow loans if required rather than banks or similar. If fans/directors/banks were not an option the 'sugar daddy' of the WST could also have been used depending how much cash was about, however that would have meant making the issue public for a vote. A big show is made of presenting more detailed accounting information than most other clubs, and that is based off a desire to inform but probably also a point of principle around the ethos of our model. A simple line of 'X directors loan facility was available, used and cleared inside the timeframe of these accounts, with full backing of club/trust board' would have sufficed, and I can't see anyone having a genuine beef with that. |

Re: Don Bircham Statement RE Club Loans
How long will Pete Jones keep going until resigning?
They need to be careful over on Spirit of 78, don't go upsetting a sponsor of the club and somebody who's been very generous over the years. Sponsors will be looking to cut costs and sponsorship of Wrexham AFC will be one of the first things to go. Especially a club surrounded with such negativity. |

Re: Don Bircham Statement RE Club Loans
Don has minimal football experience which shoots down a few peoples arguments but was certainly an experienced businessman and one who commanded respect.
Lets look at Spencer for example, no football experience, not a businessman in any form and certainly doesn't command respect. I cringe every time he opens his mouth! I was one of the people clearing the snow off the pitch, would I volunteer in any form now? Absolutely not. |
