  • I’ll add all my ethereum, but hurry as very soon it’ll be worth less than the £1.
  • Someone got a seat on the train this morning.

    Incorrect. But a slow morning at work prompted me to make a point.

    Does anyone have an email for Roland? I feel he needs to see this. Or shall I just sent it to everyone at the club in the hope that they pass the message on.

  • Revised 'enterprise value' of the Club is now £77
  • The only saving grace is RD can't live forever - maybe Roland Jnr won't be as bad?

    Kim Jong Un followed Kim Jong Il Not sure that worked out any better, despite the son having a better education and having been socialised with more normal types.

    Okay maybe Roland Junior II will be better...
  • What time is KRs press conference today? Will RM accompany him and tell us what we want to hear?
  • DOUCHER said:

    Btw - don't care whether RM remains at club or not after takeover - just hope somebody takes over soon with full control of all club assets because this long drawn out war of attrition might suit some but is going to be a disaster for the club

    Even now, as the club is a complete dumpster fire, rudderless and openly selling off our best players with absolutely no interest in making the team a success - some people still find room to apportion blame to protesters and those that oppose the regime.

    If you can’t see it now, as everything collapses in front of you, you never will.
    ??? ive never blamed anything on protestors - I was at the first few and was supportive of them to start with
  • DOUCHER said:

    Some facts to settle the minds.
    He cannot keep Ground and Training Ground without writing a cheque for £7mn to buy back charges owned by RM and 6 other Ex Directors.
    He doesn’t want to pay them off, therefore buyers are expected to.This is a blockage.
    His asking price of £45 to £55mn is ridiculous.
    Two buyers are in the open Aussie Group and Donald Muir/ McLeish group, one done DD 3 months ago , one doing it now?
    No one will offer more than £25mn up front , so he has to take a deal on his remaining debt and sort out Ex Directors.
    Those are all facts.

    Unknowns
    Is RM involved in both or either bid?
    Is Donal Muir working for Roland or does he have a backer?
    Are there really 2 or 3 others sniffing around.
    What deal will he accept on the Balance of his money going forward?

    Discuss.

    absolute twaddle
    Says who?
    What is incorrect? Ask your mate RM?
    We know who you are and who you represent.
    All will be revealed shortly and Roland has about 8 days and counting.
    Sorry Dave I have to wooosh you.....I believe Doucher was being somewhat ironic......erm I think!
    Really ?

    In all seriousness, edit out the mickey taking 'de cloobe' stuff, email it to the mad old cnut inviting his observations and comments and see what happens. roly has form for (with all due respect) employing young chancers with absolutely no background in anything relevant and that's worked really well for him up to now:-
    a young lawyer running a double digit millions loss making business in a sector she knows nothing about
    a computer game playing youth as international head of scouting
    plus himself as overarching coaching and management supremo
    they've all worked brilliantly for him, he's clearly bang up for some advice which is rich in enthusiasm

    One email and you could end up with a lucrative consultancy and a season ticket on the €urostar, you'll never be short of economical shoe repairs.
    I'd do it myself but prolonged exposure to petfood manufacturing fumes near The Thames as a kid has left me with a violent tendency to eviscerate the oldest person in the room if I hear lies told in a low countries accent. I'm quite the medical mystery.
    Young chancer I can take. But how dare you suggest that I have no background in anything relevant!! ;)

  • From the OS interview with Robinson today

    Takeover talks ongoing

    “I’m not sure of on goings regarding the takeover. I’ve seen people be shown round the training ground and the facilities but I’m but unsure on names of consortiums. I know just as much as you do.

    “There are still going to be many different obstacles to try and overcome and it’s concerning that the takeover talk is happening in the middle of January, as we need to bring in more players.

    “I still don’t know if the takeover is going to happen in a week or five months, we’re in the dark over that.

    “My job is to manage the team and everything above me will take care of itself.”

    I think if I saw "people being shown round the training ground" that as Manager, I might want to introduce myself and find out who they are.

    Not like KR to be shy at coming forward. Particularly as his job may be at risk.

    Sounds to me that he has been told by RM, TR or both to stop making comments on the takeover, and making assumptions to the gathered press.

    New director of football so takeover must be close

    And Robinson is still in the dark about the club’s future.

    He added: “I still don’t know if the takeover’s going to happen in a week or five months. I heard there are people speaking to the owners but that’s all I know.

    “We’re in the dark over that. I’ve been told that’s not my job, my job is to manage the team, and everything above me will take care of itself.

    “I’d like to know more, obviously. But maybe with me knowing more, people know how honest I am, I’d just tell you, so that’s probably why they don't tell me!”

    Hahaha, I fucking love Robinson
    I believe him too.
