It's very refreshing to have an owner who thinks outside the box and has ambition. Those of you that keep saying "it's not how football clubs work" are the same types of luddites who fear any change and have kept clubs like ours in the dark ages for years. It takes a visionary to move a club like ours to the next, and unthought of level. You and your attitudes is why the top end of the league stays the same and the lower part cycles with the championship, over and over. It's sad you're so blinkered. If there are really so many of you. If you have such great vision. If you're so much better at marketing and running a football club. Do it. Show us. Otherwise just stick to FIFA or FX and whining on the Internet. I honestly feel just pity for you all.
A copy of the statement... please log in to view this image He's obviously written it himself, the 'club not the council' bit couldn't be the work of anyone else, no wonder Ehab wouldn't sit with him.
It was certainly not a polished performance but then, even after 40+ years of UK residency his grasp of the English language is far from perfect, not many people are perfect, possibly not even you Lewis, however anyone with more than a few brain cells will take it for what he obviously intended it to be, confirmation that his views regarding the name change remain unchanged, should he not achieve that via mediation he will sell the club, and in the meantime he will remain FULLY committed to the club.
If you listened to what he said you'd know what I mean: I was shocked on December 23rd when they had a 10metre banner out at the match. I said then, that is not for me
no.. that pass is for the spectacle of games.. Im 100% sure that there isn't fine print that states you can partake in financial matters and votes.
The bloke just made an utter **** of himself if front of the nations media, he's going to get crucified.
So, hypothetically, on the day that the CAS rejects his appeal and with no buyer in sight, is it asset stripping time?
oh dear! it is a very sad day when the owner of our club effectively walks away and you so called fans, are happy about it! All over a name change? you shallow bastards!
of course it is... we will be left with a council owned stadium, no players. NOTHING. hope youre happy CTWD!
It was a bit like when you watch a David Attenborough documentary and you see a lion ripping off the head of a zebra and you think "why doesnt somebody help to stop it?"
Obviously you think that. You'd decided that before he sat down. I share his obvious frustration and I agree with him. He who pays the piper calls the tune. It's really that simple. Buy him out or stfu. Why is this so hard to understand? No him before, no club now. If you don't like it, buy him out.
