But it's just guesswork![]()
Totally different situation but, award yourself another smiley ...... you're hilarious.
Bury himself in the sand and then wait for the tide to come in.Dunno, perhaps he isn't.
If he isn't what are you intending to do?
This has been years and years of shit. All under Short's stewardship.How can the owner be responsible for what we saw today.
If you don't know if he is looking to sell how do you know he is going about it in the wrong way?The issue we have is that IF Short is looking to sell (which by all accounts he is), he's not going about it the right way at all.
First of all he is asking a ridiculous price for a club that is sitting bottom of the league and highly likely to be playing Championship football next season.
Secondly, he is not doing anything at all to try and get us out of the situation we are in.
Both of these make us a highly unattractive purchase for anyone seriously looking to invest in a football club.
Decent buyers want to invest in football clubs that have potential commercially and will build on that to develop them on the pitch. We have none of that as Short has taken us backwards over the last few years. Our commerciality is very poor, to the point that we don't exactly have sponsors queuing up to pump money into us.
Shorts running of the club has been disastrous (I don't care about how much money he has invested. It has not been done wisely and look at the current state of the finances). So much so that we are not a club that is an investable proposition .
Terrible is the answer.If you don't know if he is looking to sell how do you know he is going about it in the wrong way?
How does our commercial income stack up against other clubs of similar standing?
Is it? I thought we were pretty much in the middle of the table for commercial income.Terrible is the answer.
Defending him againIf you don't know if he is looking to sell how do you know he is going about it in the wrong way?

Which bit of that is a defence?Defending him again![]()
So tell us. Do you think his current asking price of £180 mill is fair ?Which bit of that is a defence?
Firstly I have no idea if that is the asking price. Secondly it would depend on the terms, if Ellis was prepared for example to write off the £60m or so the club owe him then it doesn't seem too far out. If not then yes it seems too high.So tell us. Do you think his current asking price of £180 mill is fair ?
Nah cos once he leaves the truth about his reign will out and I will have to book a week's holiday and dedicate 12 hours a day trawling through previous SMB posts and tagging every single fucker who defended him and said I was chatting shite.I hope Short sells up for 2 reasons.
1. We get an owner to come in and rebuild the club from top to bottom. Similar to what happened at Southampton.
2. @haway will finally stop with starting a thread about Short everyday and bringing him up in every other thread!
Nope. Our commercial income is dire.Is it? I thought we were pretty much in the middle of the table for commercial income.
Write off the £60 mill we owe him ? What about the £140 - £170 mill of debt he has lumbered us with. That along with the loan we are saddled with with interest of around 7.8%, secured against the Stadium ? He has fuckin crippled us man the asset stripping bastardFirstly I have no idea if that is the asking price.

That's what I meant by it depends on the terms of the deal.Write off the £60 mill we owe him ? What about the £140 - £170 mill of debt he has lumbered us with.
