Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

One big reason we don't have a sensible financial model in this country is that it's fundamentally bloody hard. You don't want to discourage ambitious owners from investing and fans from dreaming of punching above their weight, you don't want a system that entrenches the dominance of those fortunat...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....

The Cap
Plenty of publicity on Sky about tomorrow night. Seems like Jeff Stelling's kick up their proverbial backsides has worked wonders.

Will Richard Keys be telling people he's ignoring the story again?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

As short term as it may be, I think we are mostly all on the same page - if whatever group comes in passes the low bar tests and then just keeps us ticking over and invests, wisely, in the team/club then fine. The alternative doesn't really bare thinking about. If you speak to Wigan fans, Al Hammad...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I 5hink we all know by know how this will almost certainly play out now. You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

The current stadium is in dire state of repair; leaking roofs, rust, brick work crumbling, drab concrete interior, etc; thus is going to require a good level of investment. Brentford managed to build their new stadium, in central London, for £70 mil, so think £50mil should be an achievable target i...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Is there not a football pitch in the middle already? I'm sure I played a match there in the early 90s. Long time since I've been but is the cycle track round the outside still there and does it have a bit of banking, that would be more of an issue for putting some temporary stands in. Don’t think t...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The planning condition isn't the barrier people think it is, but it obviously adds a lot more risk for a purchaser who is trying to do something that is likely to attract significant local and political opposition (plus an inevitable 1-2 years worth of delays through the planning/appeal/possibly ca...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Several posts on twitter, mostly seeing one and copying it, saying it`s a done deal, I paid particular interest to the directors box today and Mark Bowen was a lonely figure sitting in the front row on his own. Now if we were on the verge of an imminent takeover to would expect some of them to be h...

Winston Biscuit If its these sports.com people then maybe a documentary is on the way

You'd hope so. It would be nice to have something on their channel beyond clips you can probably see for free on youtube.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Some are talking about Bearwood and the Academy being too expensive in L1 but I disagree. Surely the Academy can be a very profitable entity if you have owners with money. If it’s profitable why would you need owners with money to keep it afloat It's profitable if you actually sell the players it p...

Pepe the Horseman Would be shocked if more than 100 people turn up to Wycombe. But fair play to anyone who does.


If it wasn't at such a crap time I'd have gone

Showing a lack of commitment there Jim lad.

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Palmer Park is difficult because of the leisure centre and adjoining football pitches and the car park being tiddily. I'm also not sure whether the internal dimensions support a football pitch. But yes that's the best option if it does come to that. Is there not a football pitch in the middle alrea...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

For those saying protests don't work, I'm fairly certain if we got every game abandoned from now until the end of the season, bringing the entire competition into disrepute, things would start to move very quickly Yes, we would very quickly be ejected from the Football League. Sadly there are still...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

As far as I can see the only way you can make sense of the decision to sell the training ground is if Dai is going to pocket that money. He would be crazy to put it in the club as it will just get squandered and he has effectively made the club unsaleable by his action. So looks to me like this is ...
