As if Nixons seen "The list"

True. But it's a strange thing to just make up. He's saying they didn't even pay the 25k, which would mean they're not bound by NDAs, so maybe he's spoken to Taylor.

I'm sure he suggested before though that one of the few groups that have paid 25k were the Chinese and FV, so who knows?

I bet after all the speculation and back and forth, we just get FV, who were the initial group in for us.

FV - The Drifters of football consortiums. New members every week. Revolving door of members. 

We'll be getting taken over by football ventures backed by parminder basran's nephew in 20 years time. 

Why does Nixon always answer questions with I think so? its almost like he knows nothing really.

I thought FV had bid for Charlton 

I'll be very surprised if Michael James isn't in the winning bid

Why would interest free loans have helped?

Because you’re paying off the debt not just the interest... so in terms of eddie selling the club, the money taken out by him for interest on the debt would have reduced the overall debt figure... possibly making the overall proposition slightly more attractive and meaning no chancers like deano and KA taking over.... purely speculative like...

Not slagging off Eddie in any way. Ashley makes his money through Sportsdirect, only so many kettles a club can buy. 

He didn't take any payments

They were added to the debt

He wrote it all off bar a few million that would still be been there

Reckon there should be a web site: confusedasfuck.com- where we can go to have anything explained. Bit like those adverts for fosters.

In his entire tenure in charge? 

Adding the values to the debt didn’t help though...  £6m a year or whatever it was he charged inflated the debt.. may not have impacted cash flow, but would the investor ratios 

 

I believe he never took any interest

It was all added to the debt

As was the player success fee on Anelka

Dunno about any ratios but I'm sure as buggery any potential investor could have found out eddies requirements to get out

Roll up roll up 

I get the feeling “The list” won’t be very long. Having said that, a list of just one will do for me...... providing they have the funds.

if it's only Bassini there's a seat waiting for him where he won't look out of place in the N Stand Lower ugly blokes corner where we sit.

Which could of course have changed over the 3 years or so he was trying to get out... If at the start we had lets say £30m of interest charges inflating the debt I imagine it could have been off putting to any potential buyer if ED wanted it all back plus some. 

All irrelevant now really and not having a go at ED, we owe him a hell of a lot. 

I'd still be happy with Ashley  

 

All this talk of Mike Ashley....people know we won't be bought by anyone with serious money right?

serious money?

buying a player for more than a quid would be a start.
