    I just want someone to hold me, stroke my head softly and tell me that everything's going to be ok.

    Im sure you can find a couple of the 'chaps' at work that will help you out.... :wink: o)
    Yeah, stroking my head after they've chopped it off and kept it in their fridge as a souvineer.
  • It's no coincidence that GM said "it's going to be a difficult 2 weeks" with the 2 weeks ending when the window shuts.

    With the situation were in now with players leaving with no budget for replacements. I think there is some sort of agreement between Roland and Aussies for this to be happening for unknown reasons as of yet that will benefit the sale being finalised.

    I believe the sale will go through soon after window shuts. Hence "it will be wortwhile". As it will be, thinking in long term.

    And the Aussies might be able to have a budget in pace ready in time for loans to come in. Just my personel opinion on things..
  • Why would any manager at this level walk away from any job.....other than for reasons of health or similar.

    LB may love the club.....but at the end of the day it's a job. If he was offered the Millwall job on a fair whack of wedge - he'd take it I'm sure.

    Some people. Particularly those that can afford to do so have morals and principles that they won’t have messed with. I’m guessing LB is not the man to take being undermined very well.

    Step forward Mel Baroni.

  • This is the last week for RD to get money in, other than from fans (good luck with that) or from the new owners paying for the club. It's his last chance to loot the roster - and if he can do so few can doubt that he will. Let this be the final week the clowns run the circus.

    Salford away next season looks tempting

    It's a good job @ElfsborgAddick posts on here then to give us the low down on travel and pubs. :wink:
    Drink in Manchester city centre for this then tram it in. Takes 20 minutes.
  • We are back in the position where Curbs and Gritt etc started the rebuild.
    Maybe that is what the Aussies wanted because it's now so rotten the only way is up.

    But why would the Aussies just accept Duchâtelet trashing the asset that they are about to purchase at great expense? It just doesn’t make any sense.
    I dont want to speculate but i will take a guess that maybe the Aussies have agreed to give Roland until end of transfer window to raise as much money as he can from player sales.

    To help contribute towards clearing director loans. So it's less money he's having to pay with his own money, to make sale go through.

    Just speculation though.

    Which is just about what I’ve said, and certainly what I hope. [Edit: not the trashing by RD obviously]

    It almost feels like Roland is blowing up the bridges behind his desperate withdrawal.

    "The top, top ones [players] are not really in our budget but they might become in our budget the longer we wait. Do you take a gamble and take a more average player or do you sit it out and hope that you won’t get this player today but in a week’s time you might be able to get him? Obviously for the permanents Thursday is the last day but we’re looking at the bigger picture as well."

    So is he expecting the sale to happen 'in a week's time'?

    (Already posted this on the Bauer thread, but more relevant here)
  • The players left including Aribo and BFG aren't worth diddly if your paying £40million for the club. The only assets any "ambitious" buyer would interested in are the ground, the training ground and our golden share. As I have said time and again.

    No, he's not expecting it. He is, like us, hoping.

    Why would people with a "5 year plan" be so bothered about any of our current playing staff. In fact if it was me I would want clear title AND no long term liabilities.

    I agree with this. With the added frisson that if I were one of these almost mythical purchasers in waiting I would watch Duchatelet pay the wages for August, September, October and November at the very least.
    That is reportedly 4 million right there, and as the nights draw in, and the colder weather starts Roland has the power bills to pay.

    That makes no sense though, it would be like buying a factory, but letting the previous owner sell some of the vital machinery first

    Far beyond a joke now.

    Is it not about time the likes of Maurice Hatter ,Michael Grade,Keith Peacock, and whoever else is, or has been involved in a serious capacity over the years speaks publicly about the despicable state of affairs going on at this club.

    Again, MURRAY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
    The same thing he has done for the last 4 years. Sitting by and watching a Belgian maniac systematically trash the club he so loves...

    Read it like sellers may reduce prices to enable sales at last minute. Otherwise they'd miss out.
  • "excluding the aussies" well to be honest mate why the fuck would they be included at the moment the silence is deafening.
  • None of us know what the fk is going on at the moment, other than u all trying to take bites out of each other. For me, what will be a tell tale sign - if we dont hear anything by Saturday - is who turns up in the Directors box come Shrewsbury game.

    That doesn't mean that they want to sell The Valley.
