FPP to take full control

Ha! I'm far from ITK. I like making a balanced judgement on evidence mate. I hope you don't mind me using you as an example of people getting excited about a post before.

 

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh! f uck off man

 

Yet you let smug get away with a complete character assassination and expect no response? If you chat **** about someone, they are going to respond. Read what smug wrote about me and honestly say you'd take the high road. Like I said, catch 22.

 

I am too long in the tooth to get excited, I’m not sure that is the correct word. I’m hoping like hell that my son is not going to suffer as much as me, and I get to see us compete again. At the moment we are in danger of losing a generation of fans, especially if the bisto boys get taken over. I’m not geriatric just yet like.

 

I don’t give a toss what you write and I don’t give a toss what bloody Smug writes just stop repeating the same **** e over and f ucking over man

 

I'd argue that previous owners not caring about a few million here and there is exactly why we find ourselves where we do.

Picking up assets for a price that is good value for money is just good business and I'd be happy to have some good businessmen looking after this club.

 

****s sake - everytime i come on here and see new posts in this thread - but then read it and think "not this **** again"

Talk about going round in circles

 

You can’t go round in anything else

 

I'm not talking about a few million here and there.

I'm talking about 5-10million short on a ridiculous low £40 million valuation on the club.

If they wanted it that badly, they would come up with a way of buying the club, without paying over their valuation. Clauses later on etc.

I want good business men here, but good business men that actually want to be here.

And if they wanted to be here, I think they would have owned the club by now.

 

Ha fair point!!

 

The valuation being low is just your perception, not the opinion of others.

I just don't buy your argument. £10m short on a ridiculous valuation this time, becomes £5k short in wages on bringing that striker in we need next time or "just spend that extra couple of million instead of loaning players" etc.

You either have business principles or you don't. You can't deviate from the plan before you've even made the purchase or you'll never succeed.

 

In summer I go round in shorts

 

pictures please honey bunch

 

But owning a football club isn't something to make money on.

Baring Liverpool, UTD and maybe arsenal? 3 global brands, who else in the English football league does make money?

It's great having business principles, but when it comes to owning a football club, it's something you do for enjoyment, if your looking to make money with it, your in the wrong game.

Let's face it, when the FPP rumours started, people weren't saying "I can't wait to see their business model, and how to save money".... People were excited because they thought FPP would spend money.

Yes I want a club that is run right and efficiently, but the fact is money will need to be spent, and a considerable amount, if this club is going to get to the top 10 in the premier league.

 

Can we all just like a post by kitter so he feels better, maybe boo smug, then he might feel something and stop ...

 

I think you've just summed up everything I despise about football fans in one post.

I'd wager that owners do it as a challenge rather than for enjoyment.

You're accepting the premise that the only way to ever be successful is to outspend everyone else.

We need to be smarter than others, not richer.

Burnley appear to have done it well so far. No exhorbitant spending just solid consolidation over the past few years.

So far this season they've got a net spend of 600k

Precisely.
Brains more important than money.

 

Nobody has a scooby about what is going on and that is clear.
Information is being circulated with the best of intentions but again it is descending into point scoring shoite flinging competition.
Why cant people accept these threads for their intent instead of acting like 2 bob lawyers

 

Good while it lasts but the wheels will come off, of that I'm certain.
There are a probable top 8 clubs. The rest are making up numbers and wont be surprised if they end up in relegation.
Sadly if nufc are taken over by the sordid arabians they will have the financial clout to be one of the elite.
In the past few years we have had clubs like stoke touted as being the way to go, or southhampton.
The wheels fell right off at stoke and soton have settled down but are far from.safe.
Bournemouth too look very very ordinary too.
Beware false prophets
