Deatils of the new owners/lenders to Football Ventures starting to emerge on Companies House website this morning..

The model appears to be up to half a dozen people putting money in.  It feels more stable to me than being in hock to one person.  If one drops out it should be easier to find another one willing to put in a few million rather than buying a whole club.

Thanks.

I'm very happy with the new owners and I don't live in the past but clearly others on here do.

I'm as surprised as you to be told out of the blue to 'move on' and simply enquired from what and to where - indeed my only contribution prior to that was posting up the Radio Manchester sound bite tweet - how could that possibly have triggered anything off?

However that in turn brought out the usual suspects and that's resulted in the normal shite.

I don't know where you or anyone else seem to think I'm not looking forward - of course I am, isn't everyone?

I'm not that stupid as to not know that some folks are trolling deliberately for a reaction but it's also clear that one or two seem to be obsessed with anything I post - and in tonight's case - obsessed even when I haven't posted - which kicked off tonight's 'fun'.

As it happens I've commitments that won't allow me too much free time coming up, so although that won't start for a few weeks yet maybe now is a good time to withdraw from posting on here and letting you get by without me.

I'm sure you will all manage just fine, although the sites word count may drop considerably though.

So thank you to anyone who may have enjoyed my postings and to everyone else, I'm sorry that words on a page seems to have offended you so much?

Unless I'm culled or something I intend to return to posting nearer Christmas time but for now au revoir.

Have a happy Autumn to all!

Thank fuck for that 

Sharon certainly talks the talk, but  beyond sentimentalised, vague and abstract concepts can anyone truly say what the business model is? I heard her say she was going to put her own money in but does she intend to get a return and how and when? Without wishing to pee all over anybody's fireworks, I do think it is really important for the supporters and employees to know more of the detail. Time will tell, I suppose.

The only thing which is important at the moment is unwavering support as evidenced by season ticket sales since the takeover.

Barring a Hill inspired miracle (here's hoping!) we are likely to go down simply because of the excess lead the EFL have placed in our saddle. For once, this should not depress us if it happens. It should strengthen our resolve to get right behind them and get our great club back to where we truly belong (IMO in these economic times, the upper echelons of The Championship).

Everything about this takeover (apart from the drawn out negotiations thanks to the slimeball who no longer has anything to do with us) has impressed me. The eloquent and heartfelt statements by the new owners, the appointment of lads who know and understand what this club means to the town and the fantastic away support shown by you lot.

We wouldn't die in the '80's and have bounced back once more. Onwards and upwards.

I kind of get what your saying but my overall feeling is.. it’s quite frankly non of our business 

yes I get the uncertainty, the uneasy feeling that uncertainty brings, the mis trust etc and the fact that we are all scarred from what’s gone on over the last few years 

clearly they will have a business plan. Will it make us sleep any better at night if we all know what that is? I don’t think it particularly will 

but what will is the peace of mind that the current custodians of the club are open and honest, put the fans and the community at the centre of any decisions they make. Don’t put the club at risk by playing financial roulette. Pay creditors on time and stabilise our football club. If we are out of the headlines for non football related issues they will be doing those things. How they get there? I couldn’t care less 

I’m there to back the club on the footballing side of things and that’s all I want to do moving forward.

this with bells on.

 

Anybody seen that Sharon Brittan interview? She's remarkable. 

Football club owner shows consideration for staff and empathy with fans and community shock horror.

No, can't agree.

If there was some hidden, Machiavellian intent, they wouldn't share that anyway.

The details of their finances aren't really our business. Those of the club perhaps are, and we'll be able to make a judgement in time as to the effectiveness of the management team.

But for now, a full detailed plan isn't necessary, and frankly could be unhelpful in future dealings: why tell someone how much money you might have prior to potentially bidding for a player for example.

She's made her statement, explained a bit about her colleagues (very positive about the CEO), and yes much was fairly vague, but that's fine for now.

The CUNT with crabs never filled anyone with such a sense of positivity. At best "well at least he's our cunt".

She/they are doing just fine.

7000 folk in a couple of days seem to agree.

He’s right ya know 

Thank you all indeed for your kind words and best wishes.

Part of growing old is to come to terms with mortality.

I intend to be around for many years yet and will be back and posting on here when things have resolved themselves a little clearer for me.

I will still view the site and chip in to help on Nuts over the forthcoming months but I wont have the time I had for a while to come to make and post all those supposition's I apparently had based on no more than Googling searches and Company House records nor my so called obsession on our local papers most esteemed journalist and his best buddies the ST.

I am sure the people who complained about their thumb aching due to swiping over my lengthy posts on their smart phones nor my camp following trolls will miss me at all but I'm sure they won't let their ignorance or hatred go to waste and find someone else to focus their bile upon.

Let's end on a positive and look forward to the new dawn of FV financially stabilising the club and leading us forward (and upwards hopefully!) from now on, at least that's something we should all be agreeing about.

Again thank you to all for your kind comments and au revoir from me for now.
