Don’t worry, Corbyn has a plan

Can't wait for Diane Abacus to come out with the figures.

She did work wonders on getting those 20,000 extra police officers for a fiver and a packet of nik-naks.

That's a relief. I thought for a minute that he was simply a mindless old fool.

Who would pay money for a company that has been left to rot, Any profit taken away, Then would need 100's of Millions more just to stay still ?

To be fair, it hasn't been left to rot.

It's been essentially maintained at the lowest level of cost and the club as a whole still has the potential to vastly improve with a 'small' amount of investment in the squad and a change in its structure; such as a person in charge who knows football rather than an accountant working on lowest margins for highest returns.

Think if the club had £50 million ready to shore up weaknesses then that could mean a new manager who can get players ready for matches, perhaps a few new players to improve competition and secure safety.

To say its 100s of millions to stay in the league is laughable. It just needs direction and focus.

Saw this breaking last night, still haven't bothered to read a word about what's going on, I'm just treating it with the contempt it deserves tbh. my interest will only be piqued when I see a sale completed headline.

Imagine if you will a joint Moat/Stavely/Kenyon/Bin Zayed consortium to make a bid.






The **** would still fail to meet the asking price.

So a group of Billionaires can't scrape together £300 Million, They might be able to get a loan from Wonga.

Doubt it, Wonga went into administration last year!

Lassasinblanc’s transfer rumours are more reliable.

round and around.
Brexit or buyout, I wonder what will happen first

Neither.

Hi Mike.

You may remember me from a while back when I tried to buy your football club and, in the end, I didn’t have enough money to finalise the deal.
Anyhoo; I’m back this time with another offer and before you simply ignore my latest offering, I’d like you to hear me out.
A few people and I have gotten together and managed to amass a sum of money that is still about £50 million short of your expectations (a bit like last time; eh! – ‘classic Kenyon’ you’re thinking) but this time we’ve come up with an entirely different plan to sell you.
I know last time we came up short of funding for a one-off payment to you so we went away and thought long and hard of how we could eventually get you onside to sell to us and I’m pretty sure we’ve nailed it. So, this is the plan:

1. We’ll give you £125 million up front
2. Over the next 3 years we’ll pay you back £175 million
3. As a thanks; we’ll even include 3% interest on the 3 payments! We aim to please Mike.

So. That’s the plan. What are you’re thoughts?

We got a deal or not?

Your friend (what’s £50 million between ole muckers, eh?)

Pete.

Don't want this. Offering £100 mill up front then going to check down the back of the sofa for the rest. Fat Mike keeps SD signage & advertising until full amount paid & they're willing to invest a whopping £50M for "operational costs". Tin pot outfit, this would not be a step forward.

Lassasinblanc’s transfer rumours are more reliable.

I won't hold my breath!

Stop. Stop it now!
