Totally agree DOK I decided not to take up the rebate offered as
the club could keep its back room staff mostly intact. Always
assumed it would not impact Evans or Copsey, as their jobs would
remain. Dean I don't think had been announced then and was the
good news over the summer as I recall.

Absolutely had nothing to do with the management, when they
started talking about losing back room staff and having to let
promising players go after the numpty's that helped put us in
that position had already left, we wanted to help out. I seem to
remember Scamble starting the post on caw starting things off
and it snowballed from there.

Perhaps something people like Nick Easter should think about
when slagging off the type of people who use message boards.

There's an awful lot of reasons why he was quite right to slag
off many of the users on the old site. Time will tell whether it
will be the same here but my guess is that it will.

Easter deserved tha flack he got frankly.
It doesn't matter wether the players weren't doing what he was
telling them or if they were but it was the wrong theing to do.
The end result is he was a coach with reponsibility for pretty
much the worst defence in the leauge.

Agreed. He may have been a fine player but as a defence coach he
has some improvement to go.

Am on the loyalty wall, but still have mixed feelings about
subsidising Saville etc. particularly to the extent that it is
portrayed as saving people from redundancy. It loyalty,
charity or stupidity. I still can't decide. Some combination of
the three probably.

Saville and Quins' other backers have bankrolled the club to the
tune of £10m or more over the last 20 years, with no realistic
prospect of earning it back in the short term. Might they have
been able to stave off relegation by acting earlier? Maybe. But
it still went down to the last kick of the last game. Should
they have been prepared to bankroll a larger operation than the
club needed during our year in ND1? Maybe, maybe not, but faced
with reduced income it's not unreasonable that they should cut
costs rather than run up the debt. There's no moral obligation
on them to spend money on Quins, and it's likely that they ran
up more debt in winning ND1 than our ND1 peers or they would
have done in the Premiership.
The loyalty wall was a recognition that fans were prepared to
share some of the pain of that year. In my view, both the club
and the fans can be proud of it.

To be fair to Saville, his figure is well over £10m. We've run
up £6m debt in a season before. The East Stand was effectively
paid for by him on top of running costs and I have a figure in
my brain of around £7m for that?
