    Out of interest.....what are the registered owners of other football clubs owned by Dubai based ownership? 
    Don’t think we are owned by Dubai. If I remember (and I do because I just checked with google) there are several (google says 7) states in the united Arab Emirates and Dubai is the main city of one (not ours) and  Abu Dhabi is the second largest capital of the second state.

    Airman wealth of the new owner?.
    Also was the club sold for £50m?.

    It has largely been reported that we are owned by an Abu Dhabi consortium.

    I do not believe any of the new board are Abu Dhabi nationals?

    Kind of blows the theory that this is solely Nimers personal wealth.

    Yes, great effort by all who did something by way of protest but let’s not forget lee bowyer in all this - if he hadn’t got us promoted I think we would still be stuck with rd - he needs our support more than ever now to help get us out of this injury induced rut 
    Keep up...

    **COUNTDOWN TO MID-TABLE 2019/20**
    That is the aim of the new owners and Lee Bowyer and coaches for this season judging by Matt Southall's statement. Building the infrastructure and rewarding staff on and off the pitch. Bowyer won't be a problem to sign up but I wonder if Taylor has set his heart on a move up to Rangers. That would appeal to Lyle to be a big fish in a small pond, (Scottish prem) plus European football.
    I hope ESI at least offer a decent Championship wage to try to keep him because losing one Talisman striker weeks after a takeover is poor, (Yann)to lose another would be yet another backward step. I accept that if he turns it down we should have more options now but every effort should be made to keep him.

    Yeah and this. Unexpected appointment of Lee after Gobbo and on the cheap but what an unexpected benefit to the club all of Lee, Gallen, JJ and Marshall together in adversity have been.

    Without then, we could have been in league 2 rather than where we are right now. 

    Great work and let’s keep the support for them, the club at current or even higher levels.

    We wanted @Stig to do a Bayeaux tapestry version of this thread to adorn the walls of the museum but it would rival that line thing they used to do on the Magpie studio during appeals. 
    Is this what you had in mind, gents?


    No but much better

    Do I win a prize?
    Yes, you have won the competition to give RD a swift kick in the bollocks.
    Everyone else who posted on this thread will be in a long line behind you, waiting their turn.

    If you had any more, I'd be wondering if you're Seth Brundle.
  • years ago i bought myself two Belgium beers. 

    i like to thank myself during all this. yes some might say my saving of a certain Belgium beer for 5 years was mad. especially for someone like myself who is half an alcoholic. and yes when they said theres bits floating in it i still refused to open it. new years eve however i opened said beer. i had one sip and it was still as beautiful as i remember and i quickly got few the rest. Today i have opened the other bottle in celebration to the departing tosspot from our club and my god those bits never tasted so damn good.

    I’ve only just landed back in oz I. The last hour after a whirlwind trip home and Vietnam for New Years. Hopped online to see the news and immediately checked flights back to England, until the missus had a ‘quiet’ word! 
    Congratulations to us all!!

    Huzzah!
  • Am I the only one in anguish over this news.  I mean, last two years I have done dry Jan and Feb.  This year I even posted on CL I would do the same and now on only the second of January I am going to fail.  Driven to drink by a Middle Eastern consortium seems a little ironic to me.

    Get in. Delighted. Of the 4 who gave up their season tickets 2.5 years ago, 5 are coming back... We have picked up an extra!
