Lets assume the cosa nostra sell up to the Mittals today, for whatever amount, would the new owners bring down the cost of a season ticket? My answer would be no. Why would they? They are a business after all, they will try and make money, just like any other company. Maybe they could offer a discount for next season, that could be their hook. Buy today for next seasons discount. As I've said in another thread: If any sort of takeover is to take place, then let it be before the bolton game. COYRsssssssss
Amit clearly understands the need to connect with the fans. He's been working that since day dot. The only way to achieve that from here on in would be to ensure Warnock's position and then prem survival by increasing the transfer and wage budgets, not a lot but certainly to about £30m all told. If we're gonna pay more, we need to guarantee relative success.
They couldn't, what about the people that have already invested? They are very strong business men and i think this Mittals are our savours is a little bit deluded, check out there track record in business.
The Bhatia resignation was just another way to endear himself to the fans. BrixtonR said: "Amit clearly understands the need to connect with the fans. He's been working that since day dot." Is that the "need to connect" to be a good board member/chairman or the "need to connect" to get the fans to back the Mittal takeover and try to put pressure on Ecclestone? Once they are in charge they can do what they want. Just like politics. Those in power say the problems are caused by the opposition and the previous administration. The opposition say they would do things much differently and it would be much better for all. At the next election the opposition win and it is exactly the same .... now they are in power they say that the problems are caused by the opposition and the previous administration, the new opposition say they would do things much differently and it would be much better for all. Expect nothing extra from the Mittal group, just a slower turnover of managers and less playboy bullshit!
It's plain commonsense for any business to make efforts to connect with its consumers... To do otherwise is pure folly as evidenced by the current turnmoil. If all the Mittals did (which they've already demonstrated) was to achieve 'a slower turnover of managers' and less bull****, playboy or otherwise, they'd have done enough to get my vote (if I had one). In the context of the Goon Show, anything more than that would be a huge bonus imo.
It doesn't bother me in the slightest. My "contributions" over the last few weeks have been as a result of the many over the top "Mittal is our savior" type posts. I just hope the remark is not a cynical attempt to make out that I am a rascist and therefore the points I may make are invalid.
Teasing you Eamon. As for the validity of your posts, it might be helpful if you'd tell us how stubbornly backing neither ride in a two horse race, improves any debate on the future of our club, culture and fan-base. If there is any cynicism here it's in your failure to give us something positive to hang our hopes on.
