But if thats true, he has saved them, and they'll recover quickly IMO. It doesn't make sense why he would do that? Unless he knows the club's liabilities and FFP meant he was going to lose a shitload more next season.

Rayvin 5302 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yeah but that's what the statement says, apparently. That he wrote the debt off. Whereas we're simply looking at this being unlikely on the grounds that he'd have to be fucking mental to do it. But the statement does say he did... “To achieve this, higher offers from less qualified buyers were rejected and I have paid off all debts owed by the club and leave it financially strong and debt free for the first time since years before I owned it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 How is he even allowed to just pay their debt off? Surely it'd be a breach of FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43089 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 If I was a MLF, I’d be wondering why he didn’t pay off the debt years ago, and give them a chance off avoiding this stellar descent through the leagues. Glad he’s waited to deliver this parting hoof in the nuts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33877 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I've never known a club fanbase as obsessed about wanting old managers back. Quite a few wanting Keane back, some after McCarthy and a couple mentioning Allardyce! Also seen Lampard and Gerrard mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lampard and Gerrard one’s are yet another example of them wanting a connection to successful clubs, so they can be a part of it. That’s exactly why they loved Roy Keane despite him being a pretty poor manager. It’s fucking pathetic, then again I’m being harsh they are a League One club so them being small time is exactly what they should be. The best part is they’re all bopping about going “where’s the mags now?” as if something really good has happened to them, while it’s a positive that they seem debt free the new owner puts them firmly in the lower league bracket. They all seem convinced that they’ll now be getting a big name manager in, and be in a position so spunk money. As 247 said any consortium fronted by the owner of Eastleigh is hardly going to be the Abu Dhabi United group is it Edited April 29, 2018 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it’s fucking gold on there, an itk thread saying it’s Staveley with a Spanish consortium now so itk but there wasn’t a whiff a bloke that owned Eastleigh would be buying them ffs. They’re all lapping it up as “that’ll wind the mags right up”, I can’t wait until it finally dawns on them that they’ve been bought by a bloke who has about £8m and a few of his mates.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 They may bring some Eastleigh players in to strengthen the team.It would be canny if it was the bloke from Eastleigh and did a Wimbledon to Milton Keynes style move,but the makems moving to Eastleigh.

He's got Spanish backers and they're all wanting tapas and San Miguel on draft, a new alliance is born, me gusta espanol, marra! no sundIreland and Guinness now. Except there's no evidence of it and one or two mentioning Staveley and 'Awab' men. They seem to have a thing about misspelling Arab as awab for some fucking bizarre reason? Anyway, atm it's a bloke from Eastleigh worth £8.4m with a supposed consortium some of whom are being described as 'international'. Could be Ally Fraser and Kenny Ames based in the Costa del Sol, who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Aye at the moment there’s no evidence to convince me that the international consortium aren’t Stewart’s mates who own the red lion in Benidorm. I’m going to say the reason for saying awab is racism, no evidence but it’s a fan base that racially abused the mother of their best player and since they love sweeping generalizations I’m going to go with that. They seem obsessed with wanting to it be Staveley, which is no shock, but she’s not going to go from bidding on two PL clubs to buying some League one rabble so there’s not even a bit of me thinks it’s plausible. They also miss the point that Staveley WAS the frontperson in our bid, theirs is a bloke who owns Eastleigh. They really have to stop trying to draw comparisons to us, we are in £200m-£300m bid territory, they’re in the owner literally paying to give them away territory.

NJS 4411 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 They are relieved to be rid of Short but the thing is they had the same problem under Quinn and Murray previously - an overinflated view of their place in the world and an obsession with us leading to the hounding out of their managers for failing to compete with us. It may be a good thing in the short term but if they do make it back to the Premier in reasonable time I'd expect the same outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fairly sure it’s also a mackem based Sunday league team that win everything as they pay a load of money to their players (for that level), they might be rivals for SAFC one day.
