Rembrandt Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Eddies actions sicken me. Whether we scrape by or re-form, we need a board of shame as a permanent reminder. And if we do go under, maybe a club funeral too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It sounds simplistic cos it is simplistic  It's simplistic enough to be bought by sun readers  Remind me where the tale came from? Nixon, the same Nixon who broke the MD and ZC story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flannel Truscott Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Think the Clough potential sales is a direct reaction to the fact that the supposed interested buyers didn't show the money today that was promised. To answer your question I think they would use any money to stave of admin but as we know they'll sell the kitchen sink first as Davies has no intention of putting in another penny piece, this is the thin end of the wedge. I understand your anger and frustration. But could it be possible that ED has no more money to give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Whether we scrape by or re-form, we need a board of shame as a permanent reminder. And if we do go under, maybe a club funeral too.  A board of shame for fuck sake!?  Is this like some massive billboard with ED's face on it and "BOOOOOO" in big letters underneath, maybe hung up on the front of what remains of the dilapidated Macron?  A board of shame for only ploughing £150m in to his boyhood club and having the cheek to stop/not be able to carry on funding it at the ripe old age of 70.  Great idea.  I'm hoping with adding the club funeral bit the whole post is in jest, but I'm not sure with some of the mental posts being put on here recently.

Mounts Kipper Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I understand your anger and frustration. But could it be possible that ED has no more money to give? He's decided he won't put any more in I very much doubt he's not still got plenty left, my gripe is you don't take over a club you claim to love and then leave it high and dry. I have no problem him wanting out just the way he's doing it, he's had plenty of time to figure out an exit plan that does not virtually wipe out the good work over his tenure but it seems he hasn't got any sort of exit plan other than drop us like a Stone and to me that's not acceptable, strangely other folk think it's perfectly acceptable.

Massively let ED down. I don't doubt their intentions but they can't deny they have failed.  Mounts - we think ED still has money but isn't it possible that he just can't put any more money in. Even if he wanted to. Isn't that a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 There you go with facts again  Reading folk who I used to respect calling Eddie Davies is a cnut is much more likely to see me jack it in than relegation ever would  Sickens me Facts? Bloody hell you now believe Big Sam's autobiography when it suits? So he was right about Gartside too? Thought he was just a big fat head who left us in the shit?

You know for a fact, ED has ploughed £150 million in? He has lost £150 million in BWFC. Bollocks. Starting to believe it's time to leave you lot who won't hear a word said against the board, wish you well and leave you to it. I appreciate that we are where we are, moaning doesn't help you're right but if you feel you've been fucked over its hard to just accept it. The board have known for two years ED wanted out and have done nothing. That's a disgrace especially as they will be walking away from all this with their wedge you can be sure (not talking about ED but the other board members), multi-millionaires already as I have been reminded.What have they done to stop us going over the cliff. They have killed the club and yet you get battered on here for being angry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxxxx Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Clough would be stupid to go to Bristol..... they're no better than us and could be relegated come May. It would be an awful move for him. And not just that, we're actually selling him to a relegation rival. Fucking shocking to be honest. Â I'm absolutely sickened that's come to this; selling our prospect in years just so we can pay off the taxman. I hope Clough turns the offer down and tells our board to get fucked.

Site Supporter Ratwhite Posted January 9, 2016 Author Site Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2016 Clough and Davies go - 4m in bank, wages of the pair off the pay roll. Pay Tax Man, weaken team. Relegation almost certain.  1m a month in losses (maybe a tad less now due to slightly reduced wages - £985,000ish)  What happens in April? Oh hang on we're gonna get bought...

DaisyHillyBilly Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Does no one else find it strange he's pumped all this money in whenwe had the tv money. As soon as the last parachute payment has gone so has he. He's dropped us like a stone! This is not the action of a fan in my view. People say he gambled and lost shit happens. What a load of bollocks. What a strange attitude "shit happens". We could go under ffs! A true fan wouldn't gamble with the club he loves. This comparison of now to when he took over the club is also bollocks. We were no where near the same shite. Alladyce will say owt to sell a book and dramatise things to make himself look great. That said he's the reason for our time in the sun not the board. He's a great manager they are incompetent at best. I'm astounded people defend them to be fair.

Traf Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yes, fuck it. Let's not attempt to clear this tax bill. Let HMRC wind us up. Let's go bump. Let all our better players leave for nothing  Clearing the imminent danger and deferring a decision about administration buys more time for a buyer to be found, but let's not bother. Lock the fucking doors.

Â Â It's fine to say that, but we really have no idea what has happened, so a little unfair. We hear about ill health, and that would change anyone's priorities. Time for a little extra understanding, in my view. Whatever the negative outcome, I'm sure he'll have done his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
