Club is NOT for sale.

She makes that abundantly clear.

We need this whole thing to fail. And fail badly for them to budge.

There's always something for her to cling onto. In this case Riga. It's the last shred of credibility they've got.
I'm sorry to say it but we will need more thumpings with Riga in charge for them to realise that they have absolutely no answers to the football side of this business and just how big a hole they have dug for us.

League one wasn't all that bad was it?

    Everything has a price.

    She keeps saying this as if Roland sells then she goes back to being a nobody.

    A price that I doubt anyone is willing to pay.

    Roland will not give this up easily.

    Warning: if attendances drop to abysmal levels, we fall into Roland's 'trap' of no longer needing the 27,000 capacity Valley - enabling him to sell the asset and cover his losses. Don't you people see that his 'strategy' is to liquidate assets where possible - this is the only plausible reason why he would retain an interest in a loss-making foreign, failing football team. Wake up people.

    They got Riga in as he was a) the only attainable option due to circumstances and the hole they have dug themselves and b) our fans have a soft spot for him after him 'saving' us from relegation. I'm afraid regardless of words this man keeps returning under RD's strings, he may look to slyly speak against him but with him gone it gets tougher and tougher for RD. No credible manager will work under him, and he will be forced upon a larger change - we need that.

    well he might be rich but you only have to look at his time at FC Carl Zeiss Jena (the once big East German Team) and since Roland has been there he has managed to keep them stagnating in the fourth tier of the German leagues (equivalent to our conference) and look likely to stay there this season. I presume due to lack of investment?

    this could be our fate.

    She's a nobody now.
    True, but she is a nobody at a football club which is better than a nobody in a law firm.

    Let's see how good Roland is when he realises that the price of a league 1 club is not that much.

    You can't build on The Valley, it's designated green space, so who's going to buy it?

    They probably haven't predicted how much revenue would drop in L1.

    Roland will start to notice when he starts having to cover more losses.
  • harveys_gardenerharveys_gardener
    If Lookman doesn't return Saturday it is likely the window will slam shut without a serious bid. A L1 CAFC would be lucky to get £1m for him. Umerah, Konza Edwards and the odd keeper our only saleable talent untried and unlikely to realise more. Be a while before our underage U18s mature. Great game plan Roly.

    My usual approach to Katrien is to automatically believe the exact opposite of what she has said.

    Therefore we are for sale with a 110% mortgage, 10% cash back and new carpets!
  • WheresmeticketWheresmeticket
    Didn't want to buy the fucker anyway.

    I would like to apologise for use of the word "We" which erroneously implies that I have more than a passing interest the the club, which, as we all know, is frankly bizarre!

    If we knew that Roland would sell up in the summer if we got relegated then i would take it for sure but i don't believe he will, he will just slash the budget again to attempt to make up for the loss of earnings.

    His only potential weakness is his ego or reputation IMO, if we & the media can keep up the bombardment of humiliating stories about himself and the goings on at our club then just maybe like his failure in politics he will give in and decide to get out as it is too much hassle.

    So no, i want us to stay up as we are much more likely to get a new owner as a struggling Championship club one promotion from the riches above then we will as a struggling League 1 club.

    Are we becoming a London version of the Mike Ashley-Newcastle United saga? Wealthy owner nobody likes.......rapid turnover of managers (some of whom were less than ideal).....peculiar transfer policy......weird set of people behind the scenes deciding on coaching and recruitment etc etc.

    Ashley hasn't sold up despite the jeering and discontent. RD might react the same way. Could be that owning a London based club is such a trophy asset that he just holds on to us, and with his other 4 clubs doing ok, rides it out.

    Re: Newcastle, probably, Jiminez was part of the bigger plan conceived by Simon Jordan. He'd be put in place first then hand over to Roland to finish us off.

    The pitch at Highbury is still a garden with flats around the outside. Could he get away with that?
  • LuckyRedsLuckyReds
    You would never openly admit it's for sale anyway, that would give people leverage in negotiations. The fact she's stated that (a) it's not for sale, and (b) she gets many approaches about buying the club, suggests she wants people to know she has options and it isn't desperate for a sale.

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure if implying the above the actually giving her too much credit - and maybe it really isn't for sale? Who knows.

    What we do know is that the figure of £50,000,000 was thrown about 6 weeks ago, that can't have come from nowhere..
