f***ing hell man
don't give the daft fuckers ideas man.Will the maintenance CM refers to include sorting the roof out. Paint hanging off the fucker in parts.
And they were charging 50 quid for them
The fans wanted the seats changed, it was done. The fans wanted a stand renaming, it was done. The fans wanted flags, it was done. The fans even wanted the manager sacked and that was done too. The fans have been involved with the club far more in the last 18 months than they ever have.
At the beginning of last season he was often to be seen courting publicity around the SOL. A cross between Rupert the Bear and Robert Maxwell ? I will reserve judgement until the January window. Could anyone else apart from Methven and Donald done much better ? If we get a bit of money in Jan and Parky brings a couple in I am hoping things can be turned aroundAny idea on the colour of his trousers

More like pugwash#55 I get that. He seems to be the one who attracted the Yanks in the first place so let’s give him credit for that.
Why haven’t they taken control of the ship ?
I want Captain Cook and it seems we’ve got Blackbeard.
$10 mil for the right of first refusal. Probably waiting for the club to be completely devalued.
Most of that is me being a dick. I hope there’s a plan somewhere.
If we don’t get promoted where does that leave us? Increased running costs, no parachute payments and the owners have a £10m loan to pay back?I said this last night. I was thinking maybe that the Americans were on board to buy for a certain price, then when it became apparent we weren’t nailed on for promotion, they’ve had a second thought and decided to ask the question about it getting it cheaper, current owners dig their heels in because promotion is still (technically) realistic. Mexican stand off, £10 mill loan for first dibs once we know for definite which league we’re in next year. Perhaps.

That would be an incredibly dangerous game for the current owners to play could fuck the club over.The Americans will buy for less.
That’s what I’m saying, I think they don’t want to pay the full asking price right now, and then potentially not go up. When this takeover talk started these two were on about 100 point seasons etc. Promotion is 50/50 at best right now.
They can wait it out, and if we don’t go up this season (and we will be financially fucked at that point make no mistake) get us for next to nowt when the current owners have to cut their losses.
Good God in Heaven!
Listened to the RR pod with Charlie. It sounds to me like the investment is going to infrastructure. He painted a picture of neglect by the previous ownership and it needs to be made right. Said our class 1 academy is in danger of losing its ability to attract and keep young players. There’s jokes about speakers and lifts but the club is the sum of many smaller parts. Seats, speakers, lifts, hospitality, ticketing, match day experience in foul weather, netting for safety ...I said this last night.

We were told when they took over they had the finances to see us top half of the Championship. Now they're needing loans to pay for speakers and basic maintenance repairs. They can't afford to run a club this size, gambled on us going straight back up and selling us for a quick profit. That doesn't look like happening any time soon and now they are panicking.Listened to the RR pod with Charlie. It sounds to me like the investment is going to infrastructure.

There are no more wise cracks about pink seats. Soon the comedic license will expire on lifts and speakers.
You sure it’s a loan? You sure they were going for a promotion/flip scheme?We were told when they took over they had the finances to see us top half of the Championship.

At the minute it looks a like a loan with no shares changing. Whether that happens a later date remains to be seen. There wasn't a long term plan when they came in. Completely abandoning the scouting set up and touting out the academy players for quick cash, whilst only signing players proven only at League 1 mean we would've been looking at another rebuild had we gone up.You sure it’s a loan? You sure they were going for a promotion/flip scheme?
I agree that SD spouted on about having enough capital to buy and pay players.
Not looking for an argument of speculation but do think he bs'd the supporters?
I also agree his initial plan hasn't gone according to what was said.
