Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So to recap the headlines 1. There is no consortium. It's just him and his marra 2. He's having to pay the £40mil in installments 3. If he can't afford it then Ellis takes the next 2 parachute payments 4. He owes £25mil on transfers before he even starts 5. His transfer budget is similar to what 1 or 2 championship club's would like. Ie;<£10mil The fans are buzzing cos he stands with the fans and drinks pints apparently ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob032 38 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 They are all whipped up about this. A few on my FB have peeled themselves out of their beds to rant about it. Just got to get out of this pesky third tier, eh lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this news is actually better than him getting it for free imo as it all points to the fact this bloke is a complete Del Boy Trotter. If it all goes tits up he will pay the parachute payments to Short (which let’s be honest is what he’s going to use to pay Short anyway as him and his mate don’t have that) and try and palm it off onto someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Sounds like they’ve been bought by a couple of clueless chancers......this has disaster written all over it iyam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33182 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 That's not how RTG see it. Which is fucking brilliant to see. Despite it looking extremely dodgy even from Boycies own words on the deal they still can't seem to see any warning signs at all. No flashing red lights, no Spiv klaxon sirens going, fucking Nada. No, marra, because unlike us they're DEBT FREE and we just can't take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) I had to take a look and they’re fucking buzzing. After that Methven gave some very typical sort of lines “good club that’s been losing far too much over the last 10 year, have to get everyone facing the same direction” they’re all in love. They bang on about our fan base being sucked in after someone says the right thing ffs. One even proclaiming that this bloke knows Short and that they should all just imagine if Short had brought this bloke in rather than Bain, De Fanti, etc he’s said one thing ffs, there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever he’s any better than them. They also all keep saying stuff about how these blokes will know tons of other rich people to get investment in as they climb the leagues, when the fuck does that happen? They’ve got these two chancers who cannot afford to actually buy the club, that’s who they have, making up ridiculous stuff about foreign investment or “ooooh but these two KNOW people” all football owners know other rich people it’s not something that’s unique to Del Boy and Boycie. It’s also still funny that they’re trying to make the fact this Methven is some type of PR bloke an amazing thing for them. They honestly think Short didn’t have PR people, or that their club didn’t have PR staff? It means absolutely fuck all, which in footballing terms is precisely the net worth of these two carpet baggers.

Howmanheyman 33182 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 It really now is the equivalent of them just sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting 'international consortium' and 'debt free' endlessly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30602 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah they’re debt free if you ignore the small matters of the £40m owing to the previous owner and the fuck knows how much on outstanding transfer fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Debt free, but they owe £65mil before they start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30602 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 So basically the next two parachute payments will all go to Short. Then the club is faced with paying off outstanding transfers plus running a club with League One income while paying a large number of players PL/Championship level wages? I can't see how this is going to end well for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I've also seen them stating the new owners had to prove they had £50 million in the bank to get approval. I can't see that rule anywhere in the new owners test but tbh I didn't look that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair enough comparison, mid-2000s Dortmund benefited hugely from their spell in the third tier and... oh wait, no, even when they were essentially bankrupt they didn't finish lower than 13th in the top flight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
