I am not sure our team winning the quiz last night is a good omen or not. After an average start we (well let's be honest me) stormed the end to sneak the prize with a 1 point gap. Even if I didn't get this question right "Who started at Southampton, before becoming a world record transfer fee (at the time) when they joined Real Madrid in 2013"

Reesh ? He's a gooner as we know

England 0% chance 100% due to Southgate

Nope no relaxed mode here - been there, worn the T shirt shit happens

Knowing where they are headed that will seem like Club Tropicana On that note as I know you like a personal anecdote, young un took his WAG to the match last Saturday and chatting away she casually drops that her Mum had been on a date with George Michael back in the early 80s. And it wasn't in the local WC's. Anyway she dumped him as he left her to go to a music rehearsal

You will be arriving in a 3rd world country when you reach your intended pub stop

It's the fact that when I frequented the Politics section on there, I was once reported to the admin on there for alleged racism that was way less than stuff now openly stated.

Yep the daft thing was whilst doing said work with my WTID hat on, it just lead me to conclude it was never feasible. Because it would have been necessary to lie to the fans what the money was potentially going to be utilised for. Ultimately WTID became a stalking horse to push people to acquire the Club without them waiting for admin.

So to add, it was a short term loan that was all received / paid off in the same accounting year. The paperwork actually showed the quantum of season ticket revenues received and how it was clearing said loan. It was no surprise to me when the cash flow eventually hit the rocks in the summer. But that might have been 12 months on potentially. Lose track of the when

There was a 3m working capital loan that had been taken out the previous October. There was another loan against TV monies. Strafford sent me a few docs that helped in putting together a top level cash flow forecast for the WTID shit I recall I came up with needing about £5m to plug the working capital shortfall. Imagine selling that to fans, even if you had (albeit highly unlikely) raised funds from them that it would be to cover the past. IIRC that actually undercooked by about 2m the actual shortfall that Mandaric covered

The fat lady is warming up her tonsils but is awaiting the mathematical calculations from her accountant scheduled to be emailed shortly after 14.30 hours before bursting into song I say May the 4th be with us (For the sad **** sci fi nerds out there)

I sort of agree your sentiments, but I also think it's important that the "facts" they quote are challenged. The one annoyance of being banned from Stalk is not being able to challenge the bollocks you see spouted on there. And that creeps across the fanbase. I know because my lads who do frequent the Facebook sites etc will often quote it at me. So no we won't get an answer from them, but we do have to challenge the narrative come what may

The one thing that is relevant is Rohl has identified what many of us have long stated, that the Club needs long term investment, strategy, planning to stop, or at least attempt to stop the cycle of yo yo ing between the Leagues. Chansiri is on record in the past saying "you can't plan in football" I totally accept there is a logic to that. There is no guarantee that if you spend £x - Y will happen. Far too many variables, too many others doing similar and frankly a lot of luck But Clubs have shown, Brentford being one that was questioned by Chansiri, that getting this in place will ultimately be a positive thing If Chansiri is not of this mindset, then what

That is sad to hear, that goal was pivotal in our history but he was more than that to that team.

it would get expensive on the needing 4 new wheels after every home game

Do we have any for Nigel though 🤔

That's cheered me up 😱 I think it's that in my 50 year journey to date, the pinnacle was 33 years ago, okay it plateaued for a few more after but its a ruddy long time really being a bit shit since

It's just a very peculiar form of narcissism really The irony I find being that for all the hatred of Chansiri, said person reported live from the High Court steps where the type of owner this group seems to want had erm led us there. Even when you tell them that Lee Strafford brought in early season ticket renewals in the first place. That said money 100% went on repaying a loan - I saw the fucking paperwork. That the much vaunted Milan secured charges against the stadium, borrowed money from some interesting people, had not invested a penny in the infrastructure and the ownership structure was opaque with an offshore entity owning us. Just about every criticism levelled at Chansiri is conveniently ignored in others. And yes I have criticisms of Chansiri's actions, that despite the funds we haven't really advanced as a Club. But I don't have to list every single line of it like some offence sheet. I saw the pics of him the other day and genuinely he looked to have aged, a fatigue.

The latest posts @bazapeps related to a former incumbent of your organisation calling the owner various things, which I don't intend to repeat. I am fair enough to accept he no longer speaks in any official capacity, but do you endorse that type of language ? Because that is one of my issues, it's not just the lack of debate but the insulting nature of the language being used by many of fans. Why make it personal, I simply do not get it and worse it actually turns the likes of me that are accepting of some of your criticisms of Chansiri, totally in support of him.

I mean you really wouldn't want 777 partners to be the new owners after all this nonsense Didn't realise they were behind this Bonza airline in Australia either I mean a long standing Premier League Club is going to go properly pop at some point and Everton must be in the very likely candidate running

It is an interesting article that's for sure The 50+1 model would never work in the UK, we are too far beyond that to ever be retro worked in. Seems to be do you want success or your soul

Harsh I Keep out the season ticket renewal threads these days if I can

We had a lad in our 6th form with that hair style. Sadly for him it was the era of the Young Ones so he was called Neil (made a change from Jesus). Can't say much my attempts to grow a mullet made me a mash up between Blackadder and Anna Ford. So I was called Blackanna. It was still better than "fat ****"

From memory we sat in that sort of area but were 2/3rds of the way up. I never really grasped the significance of this match until many years later. I was more in awe of the whole experience
