Of course he'd take great delight in seeing any sort of decent takeover fail, sat typing on his phone with a **** eating grin on his face just to say I told you so. Blokes a ****er.
Once on board (Madrid Oxford = Madrox), SD clearly spotted the opportunity to own a big football club for a very affordable price (for him) at £10-£15 million. He obviously thought, I can do this with a little help from Juan and why do we need the Spanish PE firm. I do believe his intentions were genuine, even if those intentions were primarily business focused i.e the club would be worth more in the championship and much more again in the premiership. He clearly did not intend to sell it as a league one club.
It will be tremendous you when it goes through mind. Need to cook a massive humble pie for them all to munch on
The worst are the ones you don't really notice at first because they're so dull. Hong Kong Phooey, the dog fingerer, is typical ... ... horrible sly little toad who'll cuddle up to anyone he thinks will agree with him.
Yeah so funny that they kept Madrox. That's how late in the day it was. Literally a week before the news broke, the Spanish were still the main investors. Also why everything was publicly about an 'international consortium'. I don't know but I was wondering this afternoon if it could have been Methven as the third party. And yeah you're spot on with that assessment, that's exactly what happened. I just wonder as Bob says, how much of that potential pathway was fed to him by Methven, and in turn... did it come from Short? He did very well out of it.
Edited by site admin Bloody hell, i'm intrigued. Those of us in Oz deserve to know. PM is fine saffy.
I thought the comments about Saffy being a racist were out of order. Saffy spent a lot of time on the 2019 GE thread (unsurprisingly as he set it up). I agreed with about 0.0% of his political views, and said so. No-one got annoyed or threw their toys out. If someone has strong political opinions (as I have) it's obvious people will disagree with you strongly. Fair enough. I've disagreed politically with Saffy several times over the years and no-one's ever got abusive. I've never known the bloke make any racist comment ever.
Morning/afternoon guys, I've removed the original offending comment and also the most recent comment in reply, until your mods come and chat to me. I'm not censoring anyone, I just need to know what's occurring, and I'm guessing that's not going to be happening as quickly as I may like. I will also now edit any comments, that quoted the originals. Thanks site admin.
No idea what is going on here, but RTG chat is pretty boring. Jardine is a ****head, that's the main takeaway.
The post that you deleted was totally unacceptable, and your response was 'spot on' brb . . . . exactly what I would have done Back to 'normal' peeps p.s. for anybody suggesting that we mods 'get a grip' . . . . it's not often that we're not about, but we've got work to do sometimes, you know, and we've got brb as back-up
