  • 1819, Queen Victoria born.
    Wasn’t she just plain old Victoria then?
    Victoria was born Vicky Pollard, and she was a plain Jane, by a quirk of fate her Uncle who was 65 when becoming king in 1830, lasted 7 years and because both his children had already died the search was on for the next Monarch. Vicky Pollard was in the right place at the right time and became Queen Victoria. Her first known quote on becoming Queen was:

    No, but, yeah, but, no, but, yeah, but, no, but, yeah but I know because I'm a queen and this should be a good gig.

    Bed time for me!
  • 1821, John Constable completes The Haywain.

    Anyone know of an island we can throw Roland on to?

    Funny, he also completed a 6 footer, called Landscape: Noon the same year. Must have been prolific!

    I would have said the Isles of Scilly, but Roland is far more than silly, more like downright stupid. 
  • Do we know what sort of dough Dalman has ?
    Is he a Gerard Murphy type who puts it all together or is he super duper rich enough to spunk dough on buying a football club for ego 
    I'm not sure I've heard anyone 100% certain Dalman has more money than sense or is he more Tony Jiminez than Sheikh Mansour

    We know he had enough money that he was personal friends with Muammar Gaddafi and almost bankrolled MG’s purchase of ManU. Makes me think he has enough money to work our well for us.

    Yes, that is what I meant. Dalman has a lot of money, but it is his access to money that is even more substantial. He has his hands in many banks and thus many potential bankers.

    He wasn’t the buyer it was MG who was from what I have read .

    so once again he’s the fluffer 

    yes he he has contacts , so did Jiminez , so does Gerard Murphy and so did Peter Risdale .

    I’m still not sure what Mehmet brings “cash” wise to the table 
    You missed out Sebastian Sainsbury
  • Let's hope you are right-Hevwants to buy us.Just a slight problem.Roland!
  • Something should happen today even if it's a couple of signings.

    As rich as Tan, apparently.

    Source?

    According to the unreliable interweb Tan is worth USD820 million 

    So maybe less than Andrew Muir who we "know" doesn't have the money.

    Who said that we "know" Muir doesn't have the money?

  • I have been told he hasn’t walked 
    What ever?

  • Oh not again.  We've been through all this.  It was funny for ten minutes, 2 weeks ago.
    There are many continuous loops on here.
  • Something should happen today even if it's a couple of signings.
    Why?
  • I just don't know what to think. Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down.


    Are we doing fish pics now?
  • I just don't know what to think. Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down.


    Fish on a Friday...who’d have thought...

    Nowhere near Tan. £100m on paper but likely to be much less disposable. Not enough to do the job completely and I he wouldn't risk everything on a punt like us. He is a banker and will have additional investors.
  • And here lies our biggest problem. 

    Everyone that seems to want to buy us, probably won't have the funds to give us stability let alone challenging for play offs
