    My feelings exactly Patch. How long before they sold the ground and entire club? A bit far fetched? It happened to South Shields - twice!

    He did a job on his mate Donald duck, who thinks he's a super business man.
    KLD wanted to buy the whole club for a certain price of what the club was worth, Donald wanted the price of what he thought it would be.
    So KLD bought the minimum amount of shares he need to have control with JS and agreed a price for the remaining shares, this was were the comments about it not being a takeover and just a readjustment of shares. So at the time Bob was kind of right when everyone was calling him, me included so I do apologise for that.
    Lots of people complained when the first share % were first published however this is were KLD and especially his team showed their Substance.
    They knew by leaving Donald with a larger stake in a club that was losing money he would have to continue funding his %
    Then when it can to taking the rest of the shares off him they now dictated the price and Donald could do nothing about it.
    I would love to know how much he had to put in while still a share holder and take that off what he received for his shares , I'd like to bet the balance is lower than what KLD offered him in the first place.
    But apparently this is a young lad that knows Jack **** about running a football club

    I get your point but sometimes needs must, you only have to look at Ekwah who to be fair has looked good this season but was only used because we had to use him. I understand what everybody wants but we may have to get these kids up to speed a bit quicker and just play them. You can not become experienced without playing games so for me I hope we can bring somebody in but if not we utilize the resources we have but don't try and judge them after 1 game they will need time which I think is what TM is trying to do with Hemir. My gut feeling is we may end up with another loan striker if RS does go but if we end up short again then we use what we have the best we can and hopefully after a few games we will see what kind of potential we have bought with both of these young lads. Bearing in mind these are contracted to us and not loans so the more we can get them developed the better for us

    Yep. Still expect them to do well despite the slow start (same as last season).

    If you could prosecute someone for gross negligence, she would be a prime candidate. A terrible appointment.

    Like you say, investing in our future and the things that have been wrong with the club for years but some fans only want money spent on players otherwise we are skint

    It’s a genuine question, I’m not knocking the lad at all I just can’t think of anyone the size of him who plays that role.. smaller players have a lower centre of gravity making it easier to dribble, turn on the spot, get through defenders in tight spaces which is perfect for a 10. Just like a smaller player would struggle to get up and down the pitch and themselves about as easily as a player of Jobes stature.

    He won't that's the trouble, in which case he shouldn't have a baseless dig.

    Suggesting KLD is pocketing club money isn't banter, it's libel.

    Never mind, back to the transfers.

    Yaya Toures best ever season for City was playing basically as a 10

    Got something daft like 20 goals. About 2013

    I did think of him but he wasn’t really a 10, City used to play a simple 4-4-2 back then with Yaya and Fernandinho together in the middle which was perfect for him to get up and down the pitch. Kind of how I see Jobe being best utilised

    Aye I agree on both parts. YaYa was never a pure 10, and also agree on best use of Jobe.

    All subject to change of course as he’s so young.
