Press Conference

[G Force]

Bloody hell people twisting FFS. He's just said we'll have the biggest budget in the league, even more so than last years promoted sides. Also sounds like they will be other investors but it was more important to get the takeover done quickly so we can get to work this summer and get out this league at the first attempt. Very exciting and compared to how the future looked 6 weeks ago, beyond belief people can be disappointed.

Oh and we're debt free.

This!!

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

What did he say about Rodwell and Bain. Too many pages to go thru

Just that he has been inundated with queries about them. Unfair to discuss in public before talking to staff first.

 

[T_Bone]

They really just need to get to work now, keep all this media stuff brief, get on with trying to get rid of players not wanted, appointing manager, getting league one quality players in, its going to be hard work

I can't see who is going to buy some of the players on the big wages.

The reality is IMO, for this to work, we need to get out of League One this season, if we don't, I think we head towards financial trouble again

That's the closest thing to a positive post you've ever made. Well Done.

I am still struggling with the idea the Press Conference is happening at all. Never mind what was said. I am really pleasantly shocked that it is actually done. Finally done. No more procedures and paperwork. No more EFL. It was doubtful many times. Really touch and go. But we did it. And this represents a massive achievement for us.

Hi Stewie, you have been on here a long time, way before the takeover talks. Having originally been excited about the takeover I am now not so sure judging by your previous posts.

 

[T_Bone]

haven't got a scoobie

You're right there.

 

[look out piano]

For further clarity l should perhaps explain that my earlier reply was entirely at my own expense in the sense that it was self-mocking. No offence was intended so I'm hoping none was taken?!

Dear god no, I rarely take offence and if I did you'd know about it .

 

[Billy The Kid]

Just had time to catch up on that press conference, I can't wait and proper excited for times ahead me like.

Hope the manager is a goodun

 

[Fetch Fletch]

This!!

Its like people just want to either skate over that massive fact or try and twist it!

 

[TAFKAHM]

But we'll still be stuck with the Leech, that is Jobwell

I think the don will sort it, don't worry

I mean if you have seen the amount of people tweeting him naming them two it isn't really that surprising tbh

But fwiw I reckon he does indeed read here, he used to post of Eastleigh's forum I believe.

He said in interview they would use podcasts and forums to get back in touch with the fans, a alot has been missing for years....

 

[Beaverbrooke]

Padded would be nice.

no no no no no no no no no!

 

[chuckyroll]

Fans need to lose the negativity .

 

[Wendall Gee]

I thought he putted from the rough. Probably wrong. Always seems a good bloke & a cracking actor anarl.

f***ing hell man, have you seen their lass.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Haway @Trainset lad!

Roker Rapport podcast from today is now live

 

[Wendall Gee]

We weren’t close to going bust mind, mate.

Some on here were proclaiming this, probably the same fuckers who are twisting about the takeover consortium not being minted.

 

[T_Bone]

I see these two as a committed team. They are taking a gamble but they are here to make money and have some fun doing so. I believe they know they have financial backer(s) if and when they need them.
They are not S.A.F.C. fans ( yet) and that might not be a bad thing.
I don't expect the new manager to be a name to enthrall us. I do expect him to be capable of getting us promotion.
The only thing nagging me and it would be relevant whoever took over is how do they get round the problem if bringing in new payers( and we need plenty) on substantially reduced wages than the players retained or we cannot sell ?
Is that going to lead to team harmony ?

 

[sksk3021]

Love the enthusiasm they have, came across pretty well and hopefully being football fans will help.
Got to be a bit of a concern that the international consortium doesn’t seem to exist and there are questions about how much they have to invest.
Hopefully we can get off to a good start and get a change in momentum.

 

[Mackem00]

This board is f***ing horrendous like

People have moaned on for years about short not being interested, he finally sells the club and they still f***ing moan

What were yous expecting? Some arab to take over a league 1 club. Get a f***ing grip man, its tedious as fuck

Even of they dont have money we are ina far better position than a month ago, 100 million plus less debt for starters

Wankers

Amen to this.

Concerns me where the day to day funding costs of the club will come from

Shit. They might not have thought of that. Mebees tweet him just in case.

 

[Deano]

They came across well in everything they said, but if you try and be objective for a moment they look undeniably small time.

I wish them and us every success though and hope their business acumen turns us round from being the basket case we have been for far too long.

 

[Wendall Gee]

Dinnat need replacing. Just need a few tins of cherry red Tuxan & a squad of stout-wristed volunteers. Should be plenty on here.

Wankers, yes loads of them on here, vast majority couldn't find the ground with a sat-nav though.
