Takeover News/Rumours

[The Ghost of Arca]

I am gonna get f***ing hammered tomorrow

 

[JL1985]

Time to celebrate! Might have an extra sugar in my tea.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Hope it's clean money mind....

Owt involving Marseilles rarely is

Some ITK kept typing "shortly" which had folk thinking Ellis ( not me like)

How tall is this billionaire hero of mine

Much will depend on who is installed to run the show. Get real - Sartori and Louis-Dreyfus aren't about to turn up at BCH every day. Their first step should be to appoint someone like Nicola Cortese as CEO to run the show for them, someone with experience of building a club through the promotions, preferably assisted by an able DoF.

Barely comment on football(SAFC) now on here and this is kind of why. Slowly been being beaten into submission by the club. Even when we had a few quid with Short the club was shambolic, bouncing from one shit idea to the next with not a single hint of any joined up thinking.

I've no interest in how much any owner of the club is worth now.

I want to hear that we have a long term strategy, a plan to implement it and a plan to actually stick with it and build.
We need to be signing players from the Academy through to the First Team that fit a way of playing as a team.
Players should be identified for their potential to improve and be worth more than we've signed them for so that we can re-invest when players move on (its football, bigger fish that us, its inevitable)
Players that are deemed as "under performing" at other clubs should continually be on our radar. Using modern methods to identify players around Europe that may not be valued by a club but who would be a good fit for our style.
Managers/coaches should be identified in exactly the same manner. We shouldn't be talking to a manager and asking THEM how they are going to turn around the ship. We should already know that they would fit into our style and "culture".

Etc etc.

Until that happens then little will change.

Could have been found in the Columbian foothills for me

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

The best is yet to come really. The next few days when we start getting more of the detail. Hopefully we will find out the two other peoples names for a start

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Ha'way Richard Dreyfuss

[dcl0sc]

[GBSAFC]

there's an old saw, when you hear hooves think horses not zebras
for SAFC it should be when you hear there's a takeover think everything is going to go to shit

Aye quite ...

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

Purely by coincidence (it's been a shit week for me) I have multiple cans in the fridge already bought and paid for. Those bastards are getting seen to while watching SAFC videos on youTube tonight. I'll take any good news at all currently!

 

[Roger the Dodger]

Just read the Guardian headline and immediately thought of the bird from Seinfeld

And also Veep- which inadvertently predicted the vote counting chaos of this year

Exciting news, but it's like finding a fly in your champagne knowing that the dumpy hobbler and salmon pants will be hanging around like a bad smell.

 

[Billy Batts]

No

Give them at least some time! Yeah JS isn't great alone but whenever you bring new blood into a regime like Madrox that has not had much external oversight during the last few years, it's positive. I don't think they'll run it like Donald and Methven - or Short, for that matter.

Chin up mate.

 

[The Pro From Dover]

Be interested to see who they bring in to actually run the club.

 

[Sleepy]

Oh dear. Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has a Twitter account (which I'm not linking, deliberately. Someone tell him to shut it down.

I hope he shuts it down quickly! If not, he’ll pull his money once he sees the state of the shite that comes out of peoples mouths on there!!

True. Think we all want that.

I know Man C fans who miss the old days.

But going nowhere recently mind.

I fear Donald has 'sold' himself as the man for the job.
