Takeover Rumours

Can everyone just stick you know who on ignore. I keep seeing people reply to his drivel which is just what he wants.
I can't see the utter shite he posts because he is on my ignore list but I can guarantee it will be drivel.

You're talking out your arse.

I'm very much a glass half full person, so that's complete bullshit. Nothing that I've posted on this thread is even depressive, I've just said I don't think we should expand.

The only slightly negative thing I've put on here: I don't think we'd need to expand the stadium.
Reason(s):
-Look at Man City. They average(d) similar crowds to us, both in PL and L1 before their takeover and it took them years of success to start selling out the Etihad, and even now you see empty seats in a 55,000 capacity stadium.
-When getting higher attendances in the prem (after the original 'new stadium excitement'), a lot of the tickets were either given away by the club or sold at a cheap in packages, as most of us already know. SD has said he won't be doing any of this as it means the club runs at a loss. I'm sure he said something in his last podcast about the club earning more matchday income from tickets now than we were when we were in the Premier League, despite crowds being 10-15k bigger. I'm not being pessimistic, it's the reality.
-I'd much prefer to have guaranteed sell-out crowds than empty seats knocking about the stadium, we could quite easily fall back down the leagues and have a stadium too big for the position we are in (see 2018/2019). It could become a huge financial problem if we happen to fall back down the leagues with an even bigger ground.

Are you capable of making an argument in favour of expanding the ground or are you just going to comment that anyone against it is posting negative drivel and a glass half empty person?

We dont need any more negativity on here man.

Facts are if people with vision listened to you we would still be at Roker Park. People with your outlook laughed at Bob Murray when he proposed a 40,000 stadium. With a sniff of success we regularly sold out a 48,000 SOL in the premier league, with sustained investment who know what we could achieve.

SAFC is uniquely placed in this country in that we have the land and can expand our stadium easily and cheaply. It could provide low cost opportunities for kids to come and we build our support for decades to come.

No lets take your view become a little mouse and look for reasons no to do things eh? Grow some balls man.
 
Looks like Bury could be saved £7m has been guaranteed to them, fingers crossed.
We just need good news on the Bolton front and if this has been the delay in our good news breaking we could be a little closer.

EFL saynig there's no U-turn. At that point why bother guaranteeing that kind of money? They will be liquidated.

1. No as I like everyone else has no idea.

2. Again I have no idea although I think it’s pretty clear that there’s interest and talks are taking place. That doesn’t mean it’s a certainty to happen though and people rambling on about increasing capacity to 60odd thousand and gunning for Europe are being massively premature given at present we are a league 1 club with a league 1 squad.

If or when it’s rubber stamped and we hear what their plans are then we can give a sensible take on things. At the minute it’s all pie in the sky.

So, despite the fact that you admit to having "no idea" that the takeover won't go through, you are advocating the view that no one should get optimistic or excited about the possibility that it might?

3. He hopes it dosn't happen so he can point score on here.

Sadly, this seems to be the truth.

They're quite obviously doing everything they can to cause arguments, alert the Mods and have the thread pulled ...

... beyond belief how sad some people are.

I've no idea why they do it but they're absolutely relentlessly miserable despite their inevitable smilies.
