Losing 500k a week apparently.

[peasepud 59]

Regardless of the rights and wrongs, the key fact is that we have an owner who CAN do this. We also have an owner whose wealth will continue to grow as we come out of recession.

 

This is far more favorable than being sold off to a dodgy sheik or skint barry whatever his name was consortium.

 

Ashley to learn from mistakes and take the club forward on a sound footing with decent investment (not hysterical Shepherd buys as those days have gone) would be the best outcome.

 

To totally steal HFs analogy, your argument is basically.

 

Josef can afford to feed, clothe and provide water to Elisabeth, there is a possibility that he may stop keeping her prisoner and abusing her and her children.

 

This is far more favourable than having her handed over to a friend who may be a knight in shining armour or might turn out to not be very nice.

 

 

:mental:

 

 

Its that kind of attitude that the likes of Ashley thrives on.

 

Its like saying that someone was attacked after getting into a taxi therefore lets not take the chance and all walk home at 2am through country roads.

[peasepud 59]

If we're losing £500k per week and dont go up then Id think its fairly nailed on that we'll be put into administration at the end of the season.

 

Gates, sponsorship and corporate deals next season will be well down on this one, the first year in the Championship is exciting, its new, its seeing us win because we're one of 3 teams who are better equipped. Next season we'll be also rans behind whoever comes down.

 

Fans will remember just how shite playing in the league and how demoralising not getting promoted was and will vote with their feet.

Your post is quite hard to follow, but I think I can see what you're saying now. If the value of the club is less than the shareholder loan, then no purchaser is going to repay the loan and buy the shares. I can follow that (if I've got that right); in my post above I was assuming that the worth of the club would be more than the shareholder loan, so you just repay the loan as part of the deal to buy the shares. If the shares are worth less than the loan, then any purchaser would demand that it's capitalised or written off as part of the deal, I can see that.

 

Exactly.

Plus at the end of next season the 3 year season tickets will run out. How many of those will renew if we are still not promoted? We'd also not have the parachut payment and the appeal of the club will have gone and we'd be on TV less dropping revenue further.

"planning"..........

 

according to wankers like Renton and Baggio a few years ago, this was the key to a golden future the likes of which Fat Fred and the Halls had never delivered

 

You could not make it up if you tried.

 

 

Talking bollocks and comparing me to Baggio now, nice one . All I said was it would have made sense to plan for Robson's replacement, rather than sack him 5 games into a season with the transfer window shut and no replacement, hence ending up with Souness.

 

 

See, this is an area I have mentioned before, at the time, and was roundly condemned by clever dicks like you, but I was and still am correct, when you harped on about this "planning" business. The ONLY thing that matter is getting a manager who gets results ie knows what he is doing. Did you say the same thing when Gullit was replaced by Sir Bob a handful of games into the season ie "bad planning"

 

You spout complete bollocks as usual Renton.

[Guest alex]

I think most people appreciate you can't plan for every eventuality in a volatile 'business' like football but Bobby Robson was over 70 and on a rolling one year contract so some sort of contingency plan should have been in place. Likewise, don't get rid of someone like that if you haven't got someone better lined up. The appointment of Souness proves we didn't have. Douggie Hall's suggestion he was sacked because we were headed towards relegation is as shameful as it was patently untrue.

i think even as fat fred's biggest fan, you would admit that he got that one wrong. souness replacing sbr for me marked the beginning of our current plight. excacerbated by the fact that fat fred backed him to the hilt.

correct, it also shows that the Halls were instrumental in the running of the club [of course they must have been] but that still won't stop cretins like Renton to continue blaming one person who had less than 30% of shares taking the blame for everything. Not exactly the sort of view smart lads should be spouting.....

These are the memories I have of his last season. In particular he seemed to "forget" about being able to use substitutes and as such they were always in the last 10 minutes.

 

Didnt only 5,000 or so stay for the lap of honour that year which really pissed SBR off.

Of course there is no bad time to get a quality manager, why can't you see though that the timing of Robson's dismissal didn't make that possible? Unless you actually think Souness was a quality manager, which is pretty much what you said on here at the time. Speaks volumes for the Halls/Shepherds/your judgement does that.

It was the same time as Gullits, wasn't it ? Or do you think they should have stuck with Gullit if that was also the "wrong time" This IS your point isn't it ie "planning"

Hardly being a smart arse, I seriously don't know what I'm supposed to be wrong about here.

 

Gullit was different, we were further into the season, in a much worse position, and he'd completely lost the dressing room including Alan Shearer. More importantly, Robson was available. If you have inside information that we had a quality manager lined up after Robson, I'm all ears. I think the board ballsed up massive style and it has been downhill ever since. Fwiw I blame Hall more for this than Shepherd, always have.

Surely if the halls were instrumental, then they should also share the praise that you lavish on Freddy.

 

It sometimes (often) seems that everything that was good was Freds ideas and everything that was bad was the halls?????

 

eerrr.......you won't find many posts by me "lavishing praise" on anybody BUT the Halls and Shepherd. If anything, you have made more posts lavishing praise on Mike Ashley than I have post on Shepherd himself.

I think most people appreciate you can't plan for every eventuality in a volatile 'business' like football but Bobby Robson was over 70 and on a rolling one year contract so some sort of contingency plan should have been in place. Likewise, don't get rid of someone like that if you haven't got someone better lined up. The appointment of Souness proves we didn't have. Douggie Hall's suggestion he was sacked because we were headed towards relegation is as shameful as it was patently untrue.

 

correct, it also shows that the Halls were instrumental in the running of the club [of course they must have been] but that still won't stop cretins like Renton to continue blaming one person who had less than 30% of shares taking the blame for everything. Not exactly the sort of view smart lads should be spouting.....

Did you not agree with the rest of it then?

 

yes, I have posted - on here or NO - before that they did have someone lined up who agreed to take over then changed their mind at the last moment. And it was not Steve Bruce.

Sounds a bit of a convenient excuse to me like.

 

been telling people this for years.

 

It is true though.
