So, it’s cost him £40million, there’s no “international consortium”, it’s just him and his Thatcher-loving mate. 

:D

Fucking mint. 

Let the slow but steady dawning of reality at the Bungalow of No Lights commence. 

 

:lol: bit of a step down from Eastleigh, mind you

So to recap the headlines

 

1. There is no consortium. It's just him and his marra

2. He's having to pay the £40mil in installments

3. If he can't afford it then Ellis takes the next 2 parachute payments

4. He owes £25mil on transfers before he even starts 

5. His transfer budget is similar to what 1 or 2 championship club's would like. Ie;<£10mil

 

The fans are buzzing cos he stands with the fans and drinks pints apparently .....

:lol: That’s fucking magic. So he has absolutely no fucking plan at all. 

All this news is actually better than him getting it for free imo as it all points to the fact this bloke is a complete Del Boy Trotter. If it all goes tits up he will pay the parachute payments to Short (which let’s be honest is what he’s going to use to pay Short anyway as him and his mate don’t have that) and try and palm it off onto someone else.

That's not how RTG see it. Which is fucking brilliant to see. :lol: Despite it looking extremely dodgy even from Boycies own words on the deal they still can't seem to see any warning signs at all. No flashing red lights, no Spiv klaxon sirens going, fucking Nada. No, marra, because unlike us they're DEBT FREE and we just can't take it. :lol:

:lol: I had to take a look and they’re fucking buzzing. After that Methven gave some very typical sort of lines “good club that’s been losing far too much over the last 10 year, have to get everyone facing the same direction” they’re all in love. They bang on about our fan base being sucked in after someone says the right thing ffs. One even proclaiming that this bloke knows Short and that they should all just imagine if Short had brought this bloke in rather than Bain, De Fanti, etc :lol: he’s said one thing ffs, there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever he’s any better than them. 

 

They also all keep saying stuff about how these blokes will know tons of other rich people to get investment in as they climb the leagues, when the fuck does that happen? They’ve got these two chancers who cannot afford to actually buy the club, that’s who they have, making up ridiculous stuff about foreign investment or “ooooh but these two KNOW people” all football owners know other rich people it’s not something that’s unique to Del Boy and Boycie. 

 

It’s also still funny that they’re trying to make the fact this Methven is some type of PR bloke an amazing thing for them. They honestly think Short didn’t have PR people, or that their club didn’t have PR staff? It means absolutely fuck all, which in footballing terms is precisely the net worth of these two carpet baggers.

Yeah they’re debt free if you ignore the small matters of the £40m owing to the previous owner and the fuck knows how much on outstanding transfer fees.

Debt free, but they owe £65mil before they start :lol:

 

Yeah I liked that, "We're debt free apart from the £40 million we owe Short and the £25 Million we owe on players. And them mags cannit stand it. FTM"

So basically the next two parachute payments will all go to Short. Then the club is faced with paying off outstanding transfers plus running a club with League One income while paying a large number of players PL/Championship level wages?

I can't see how this is going to end well for them.

I like the new manager thread where they are totally ignoring the fact the new owners have said they might get Chris Coleman back in. 

:lol: The fact it's even on the table is incredible

It's a fair enough comparison, mid-2000s Dortmund benefited hugely from their spell in the third tier and... oh wait, no, even when they were essentially bankrupt they didn't finish lower than 13th in the top flight. :lol:

There was that time in the 90s when Sunderland were European and World champions as well

Anytime one of us points out how funny this takeover is for us they just reply with 'seething' or 'look how rattled the mags are'

 

Totally fucking bizarre, they are one weird bunch like :lol:

They’re absolutely noshing-off “Big Charlie”.… the rampant Tory. :D

 

It’ll be a fucking hoot when he starts selling off the training ground, bit by bit, to housing developers.
