    Do you want me to collect it on your behalf and put it behind the bar with the £20 he owes me?

    If so Marcos was 100% correct. How does a bloke go from owning Eastleigh F.C. to buying Sunderland and then make such a statement of intent and we get saddled with a long line of ****ers?

    Would be interesting if it includes the japs and krauts I mentioned.
    Same question though, if they end up getting proper investment and we still haven’t.

    Yeah think he said he was upset a previous sale had fallen through but he wasnt going to be ripped off. He said he would sort the debts and then sell a debt free entity but refused to invest more in players. So the new guy inherits a dead lazy overpaid squad who need kicking out and investment in championship quality players to win the league like Blackburn and Wigan, and get promotion.

    Looks like another Bates buying Chelsea for £1 to me,they get lucky and make money or go bust and walk away in a year or 2.

    He is selling and writing off the debt. So at the end of the day it amounts to him screwing up but not saddling the club with the cost of his ****ing up...
    If the new consortium are getting mick Mac he will have insisted on a fighting fund..

    Consortiums are usually a group of chancers hoping to make some fast cash,the leader owns a non league club,so no rich guy throwing money around or they wouldn't be non league,they are stuck with a lot of overpaid players no one wants.
    Head of consortium,is a director of 17 companies and is worth £8.7 million

    Just read an article called whatever happened to the managers sacked by Cellino. It should have been called why TF did he employ them to start with. Darko Millanic is the only one who is doing really really well followed by Steve Fatty. Milanic had 2 years on full pay then went back to his old club, won the league qualified for the knock out stages of CL. A good manager maybe not given a chance? The rest are shyte and he who should be nameless was sacked in weeks everywhere he took over after us and now is Head Of Male Football for Gloucester Council

    I think wherever MM ends up will tell you a lot about the club he joins, let’s hope it’s us :emoticon-0148-yes:
