It is mate. I'm sure various people would like to buy the shares but we have to remember they're just buying shares, not the club. Donald made a massive mistake when he sold those shares to KLD, massive. If I have a collection of 100 FA Cup final programmes from 1900 to 2000 they could be worth, let's say, £100k. If I sell 30 of them I'm left with 70 but that doesn't mean they're automatically worth £70k. I've weakened my position and what I now have to sell is diminished. A serious collector would only want my 70% if he can get his hands on the other 30%. If he can't then the value of what I now have may be worth less than half of what I originally held. In short, Donald has been absolutely stitched up like a kipper .. ... KLD effectively runs the club with only 41%
After rewatching STID this afternoon and the smug ****er boasting about ‘negotiating’ the grigg deal this is wonderful reading
It’s not just the buying of the shares, my son could buy the shares quite easily, what he couldn’t guarantee to do is financially match KLD and JS to make our club viable and competitive. This is what concerns me about the crypto lot , how do they think they could match KLD and JS to run a competitive club.
Methven must have convinced them us ‘parasites’ will buy all of their magic buttons, the fact the can’t provide funds without us buying their bullshit crypto effectively rules them out (I hope)
Are you actually concerned about these hopeless knackers ... ... there's more chance of Alan Shearer buying those shares.
I won’t lie I got caught up in the hysteria of it all initially but the more I’ve read up on it and just took a step back and thought about it logically there’s absolutely no chance those spotty virgins are buying them
Appreciate the update mate. After thinking about it the day before,I came to the conclusion that aslong at Chaz and Dave were gone, everything else is a bonus. Would it be nice for people with lots of money to buy in? yeah, but the KLD family have plenty of that themselves so it's win win.
Not really concerned about them at all, I just don’t trust the Chancers to do the right thing. By the way my son has tried to get some of his friends to back him, unfortunately both are main shareholders of other clubs. I actually believe that KLD will see the Chancers off.
That would've been quite something for you mate ... ... imagine looking up to see him alongside KLD in the SOL.
Would have been something for sure, we were in the row just before KLD at Wembley. Couldn’t achieve the Royal Box. Yes my son has done great for a lad from a state school and me from Bolton Colliery.
I’m from Boldon Colliery as well, although I haven’t lived there for over 25 years. I was back recently visiting my brothers and still feels like home.
I left there over 60 years ago, alas I haven’t got family living there these days. Byron Avenue I lived.
Well before I was born in that case. I lived in Hedworth Lane. My grandparents had the fish and chip shop. The other grandparents ran The Travelling Man pub. A nightmare as a kid as everyone knew me so couldn’t put a foot wrong without it getting back to one of them.
I like you use the word "alas" myself on here when I go on a slight soliloquy halfway through a point. lol
