    No problem, appreciate the need for drawing a line under it - and would never expect someone to put someone else at risk by giving away too much info.

    I'm just glad we can hopefully all move on progressively. I do hope KLD and co really do **** SD & CM over - small fry to them and I'm certain they'll have had the reading of them straight away. Completely different levels.

    The takeover is making noises round the European media. Last Wednesday I had an on-line lesson with six adult students, three of whom are interested in football - and one brought up the takeover. Just had a lesson now with an adult student interested in football - and he asked me about the takeover. Normally the Italian media wouldn't give a toss about a third division side in another country. Happy times

    Thats actually really interesting and positive.

    That’s where interest sparks potential sponsorship and endorsements.

    Nice.

    I enjoyed that interview. Said what we all knew about the last owners. Love key words like "Takeover" and not shares, "fresh start". Class

  8. Well done mate,I think that's the right decision.Let sleeping dogs lie. From what we've seen so far KLD and his colleagues have got their feet under the table and we can look forward to moving on from here. It'll probably all come out at some point in the future,but,as Van says..." Don't Look Back".
    At long last,it looks like we've got something going for us here! I just can't wait for our first home game when we're allowed back....it'll be ****ing awesome!

    I guess I can wait for your autobiography for all the sordid details. <cool>
    I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I’m now convinced about SD being outed as a nasty greedy little man.
    I don’t think Kyril mis-spoke when he mentioned asset stripping. It was intended as a sue me if you dare comment.
    For what it’s worth, I think Kyril’s here for the long run and will get us back into the prem.
    Exciting times!

    fingers crossed, hopefully he has seen the new potential at the club and realises he can learn his trade here and could soon be back in the premier, easily make the steps up as we move again.

    Would like to see what the courts made of such a thing.

    Don't think it would get very far to be honest. Asset stripping is exactly what it was.

    The clocks were probably all showing a different time because Donald sold the batteries.

    So happy KLD came straight out and said it to be honest. No blowing smoke up the outgoing owners arse. Brilliant!

    This is the type of player we should be targeting for long-term success imo. Yes he won't be cheap but the lad is quality with huge potential
     
    #42074
  15. I like the lad,he's up for it and is good on the ball. Mind you,he was caught sleeping last night in the first half when one of theirs ran across him in the box. He will need work.

    We could have a chance of signing him if we get promoted, think it could be really difficult if we stay in League 1 as he'll have better offers from other clubs. Hopefully he's enjoying his football, the club is getting under his skin and we can make it worth his while.

    I must say he has that quality look about him when he's on the ball. Can't ever put my finger on it exactly but it's there in abundance. It's a different level of control, a different way of manipulating the ball, smooth movement, graceful even. Calmness and accuracy in the tackle, knowing that you will be in the right place etc. He could go far if its managed correctly.

    Yeah notice he didn't say, "they did a great job cutting costs by stopping unnecessary spending, they save x amount in some plants really amazing, they saved this club"

    Asset stripped. The pitch wasn't even being cared for properly for **** sake. I mean if that isn't essential what is?

    What was next from him? Did it get to the point players had to bring a bait box or starve or was that the next money saving brilliance? How about all staff were only allowed to flush the big at the end of the day, someone been before you? Who doesn't love poo jenga?
