Not sure it's been mentioned, but did anyone read Harvey's comments the other day about how clubs treat their owners?

Wonder if he holidays in Monaco?

Harvey is a first class cunt on a par with Anderson. Just shows how little understanding the EFL have in all this.

Assume this is aimed at me?

If so I've not been on this forum for a period of time until some months back so you've clearly not been following my work on here.

The only other place I posted during Anderson's ownership is at Nuts, so I guess you must be referring to there.

For what it matters I've never been 'angry' with anyone, even in real life, I'm a bit of a cold fish if truth be told, I'm certainly far more cerebral and analytical, than hot-head and emotional.  This manifests itself in to how I act and behave, namely rationally, sensibly, responsibly, etc 

And they showed you a world where you could be so dependable. Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical. 

Bet you prefer the Sccoter version to the Supertramp one on the sly.

There was a newspaper article saying the leaving do was at one of Ken's restaurants, but the restaurant mentioned was actually not owned by Ken or his family. Not sure if it as a mistake or if the story had been made up.

Ken is a shareholder in the restaurant questioned.

 

Nixon saying 5 groups have paid 25k to look at the books.

Which means that at least four have chucked away £25k 😂😂

Which is like me or you putting a couple of coppers into a slot in a little boys head outside a shop.  Petty cash to these kinds.

The opposite.

Think they said refunded to only the successful bidder.

It's designed to scare off time wasters. If they refunded the money it wouldn't work would it?

I just hope that the alleged number of interested parties doesn't mean that a bidding war will kick off again where the only criterion is  who will front the most money rather than considering what's the best bid for the long term future of the club. Hopefully the administrators will bear that in mind rather than solely looking at the short term gains for the creditors.

If you can't front the money then why would you be best for the long term future of the club? There is a process and timetable laid out. 

If a buyer cannot find the funds or prove their existence and satisfy the EFL in that well advertised timeline then its buh-bye. Regardless of their "intentions".

Well then I think I need to change profession!

I know the caveat in this is Nixon but surely five interested is better than two?

Especially since one has hardly a pot to piss in .

 

One paying £25M is better than 1,000 paying £25k but no-one buying.

both would be better

Probably be no-one paying £25m and  five paying £25k.

The club will never see the 25k will they, administrators will keep it as a fee.

Assume that it will go into the kitty for funding administration, although it’s probably a drop in the ocean

Just need another 996 to do the same now

For Gods sake stop being so negative chaps.   Our town is on its arse, but we’ve still got some of the best businessmen in the world in it.  Our club will resurrect,  stop being so Mard. 

As everyone gone on holiday 

No there are still people about

Most are bored with this thread and Slutty has got artharitis in his fingers due to the extremely long posts - some have eyesight problems with trying to read them

Let the administrators do their job. 

Anyway, a few reviews of a restaurant in London. It’s not clever and it’s not funny.

Cary Bowdrill? 😅
