  1. Spooky
  2. A little sad that this dates back to August............but One more time and all together now............................
  3. Your user name sums up your post perfectly. We shat on him when he was our manager, but I can see why now. Wish him all the best, but there is a reason why he is on local radio and not in management.
  4. He's 15 had a great life, but everything has started to pack up. I can take him to the vets and for 50 quid he can be put to sleep. Can I save myself 50 quid and do it myself? I assumed not, but having a play on the net seems like I could do. Obviously won't tell the kids, but from what I thought was a complete no no, what I have read it is within the law. And for the animal lovers out there, he wont feel a thing.
  5. Is my life really that sad, that I actually laughed at that!! :lol:
  6. So.... A week ago howe was complaining on facebook that aa wouldnt return his calls and that they couldnt contact anyone from the club to lodge their interest. Now it seems he is a hot favorite. If I was sceptical, that would suggest that last week everything was rosy with a new buyer.... and this week it is not.
  7. You either mis read my post or I wrote it badly. My guess is we are not a million miles away from being self sustaining, but we do still need Markus money at the moment and certainly if we are going to go all out for promotion. The difference is (Compared to most clubs) is that any cash thrown at the squad is covered in assets, so it's not really a gamble. When clubs borrow or leverage assets in the hope of a return, then that is something very different.
  8. You need to look at the finances as a whole before you can start saying "reckless spending etc. Whilst I have no doubt that Markus developed genuine affection for the club, we were bought because we were a very attractive business proposition with a decent chance of a high return. The accounts last year show that (Including the purchase price) the venture to date has cost 27 million pounds with 3 million repaid. Thats 24 million quid for everything, The Club, the stadium, the squad, the training ground, Jacksons farm and half a dozen properties. Just after the first year a player who would have been an unknown and certainly not relevant to the purchase was sold for (As we are told) 15 million quid. I doubt we are losing money at the rate we did in League one, but for arguments sake, lets say we are, by March the "Project" to date will have a net cost of around 13 million quid.........somewhat of a bargain. If they sold the squad tomorrow, they would be cash positive, still own the Stadium, still own the training ground, still own Jacksons farm and still own the properties. To date (And very much with the help of Cortese) this has been a very successful and fantastic investment.....and thats without getting to the pot of gold that is the Premiership. A relatively small amount of investment, justified by the fact we are top of the league could add an additional 90 million pounds plus to the current success. Whilst I know we won't from a fiscal perspective, you could justify 20 million quids worth of spending, so I wouldn't get worried over 6 million. We have clever honest people running the club and if the figures don' add up, they wont risk the clubs future. The accounts also show that Markus is the only creditor. A very smart man, who left us too early, but his "Project" is very much on course and delivering results most investors could only dream of.
  9. It took us 3 over 3 years to float on the Nasdaq. Huge amounts of cost, infrastructure, change and roadshows. The only way this would be remotely feasible, would be if he does what we did - A reverse takover. The smaller company Cala corporation takes over pfc 2010, the only problem is both lose money and have little chance of financial growth and would start with a share price of 0.02cents................... And that is more than it is worth. Trousers has to be right, this has to be a smokescreen, although I would love it, if it wasn't
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wczUzC3ksg ha ha, just wrong
  11. Well skim back through..... Trousers even got to post some ear lobes today
  12. Bbbbbbbbbooooooooooollllllyyyyyyy hell. Look what the cat dragged in Only joking pompey lass - hope you are well. The neil guy is from the news who unknowingly had a web chat hijacked this afternoon...........anyway he's not important.........Mr cala is though, but he might have to wait for his giro, before the deal goes through. :)
  13. Stop it trousers, I had convinced myself it was all a load of bolliacks to divert attention from the serious bidder (Marc jackson) It surely can't be him, it just can't be.........can it?
  14. I qiute like a new band (Don't think many will of heard of them) "What a tosser verbal is" They do a decent cover of "Help" by the Beatles and "All Time Low"
  15. The Jam
  16. Right, well at least we have all grown up, completely sensible and don't waste our time on childish pranks
  17. Ha ha he got an answer..... I think Neil, might actually be taking this seriously
  18. Neils Boss: How that web thingy go Neil Neil: Very very well, I had no idea our readership was that large and with such diverse names. Neils Boss: What was the general feeling Neil: Well thats the strange bit, they all think the club is a cesspit and completely fooked. They want to close the whole thing down and start again.
  19. Morphy Richards - Toaster. Not bad but you said "we" - sold yourself to the devil I am afriad
  20. Very good street band....closes to toast we have managed (Bread buttered) I got Kipper in there,..... thought it would be too much to be kippered
  21. It seems that we're stuck in a tailspin of dodgy people, and it's just giving us the image of a club that is a not a viable business Possibly one of my favorite ever posts from a skate......... I'm still laughing
  22. The twenty page fappt, can be reduced to; 1) Have you ever been crimanlly convicted 2) Do you have any pending court cases 3) Have you ever been prevented from being a Director 4) Have you ever been made bankrupt (Not even sure that one would do) Apart from those, the test is pointless and something which I think the FL would agree in private. They could force new owners to put funds into escrow, but ultimatley there is not a lot they can do. Having said that, due to the bad press it has received, I am guessing the FL would actually LOVE to say no to someone, it would give them very small degree of credibility and with a 40 year old conviction, this guy might be the first. Of course, they will simply get someone else to front it, so it goes back to being pointelss again. One thing is for sure, even if these guys are for real, the FL won't rush any decision and certainly not before Januarys pay day.....although I think they will just scrape by that. But February will be the killer. 6 weeks, to get it signed sealed and delivered, with the FL stamp of approval..... Tick tock.
  23. And here he is again (Two linked in profiles ...very strange) http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=24116320&authType=name&authToken=0ccf&locale=en_US&pvs=pp&trk=ppro_viewmore Oh and top right hand corner of other contacts....wait for it wait for it .............. Keep waiting Boom tish http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=156406301&pid=24116320&authType=name&authToken=zrIs&trk=pbmap Please tell me that is the same Suliaiman Al Fahim
  24. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/229545/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-wants-out-of-Arsenal/ 1) It's the daily star 2) Not Wenger's way with really young kids 3) I think ive read on here, that relationsips are now strained amoungst the three parties. However if it is true, if there was anyway at all, then I think that would be the title in the bag
  25. http://www.hedgefundloan.com/ Or this one....perhaps this is where the money is coming from Daniel Short linked in
