I reckon it's Shearer with Kev in an ambassador type role

Then why talk about lack of unity? If everyone is backing it then the fans will be united!

Glad we can debate this politely

I agree. We really shouldn't be transfixed with who is in the boardroom. My hope for the season is that we forget that Leon and others are even there, except the occasional rallying call from that man MLT of course!

Bottom line- I trust that Matt believes he is doing the best for the club. If Matt believes this includes inviting Leon on the board because of his generous donation/loan then I back it. I don't love Crouch but I'm willing to forgive and forget. He is a successful businessman and I'm sure in some capacities he can be a valuable asset (just not in public ).

If we get Keegan in and start winning you watch us unite pretty damn quickly! Anyone who says they refuse to fully support the new regime if Leon or LM are involved are complete ****s in my book and would not be missed at SMS.

Crouch will be one voice on the board. He won't be in control, that will be the bloke with the money. I am struggling to see how he could mess things up for the new regime. He has paid his money to keep the club alive and I imagine he was offered this as some sort of reward. Whatever the reason, I'm really not going to worry because Leon has a place on the board. It's just not of particular importance to me. If he was chairman then that's a different story but he won't be because things will be led by MLT and TL (who I have been impressed with so far.)

Don't be a **** Nick. Lets see what happens.

Oh get over it. It's not exactly the worst thing in the world. The primary reason for Crouch's failure was our lack of money and I highly doubt that Leon will have a huge say in things. Lets not let something like this ruin the whole thing, it isn't worth it. (I'm sure 19C will be on later to act like the world is falling in.)

I'm still slightly nervous by your replies farmer. In your opinion are we still on course for the takeover friday?

Btf is so biased it's funny

Read the visitor message in my profile...

There can only ever be one winner! Look at the amount of times he has reached the semi and finals of the slams! Equally, he could win Wimbledon and the US again. Will that then make him the greatest ever in your eyes?

Mercifully it isn't up to you.

Maybe the baby deer was on fire and they were trying to put it out?

If true then the takeover seems more official. Surely he wouldn't agree anything until he is certain that the MLT lot are taking over?

Surely that's an even worse system than the English one?

It's ridiculous that some people go totally overboard because someone has posted a jokey comment on an internet forum. I'm sure if we spoke about this in "real life" I would agree that it's horrible (though nowhere near as bad as killing a human being) but on here does it matter what people write? If it's an amusing comment that makes me smile then I'm pleased that someone has taken the time to contribute. Cracking comment by the way rattlehead. Much lolage.

TBF not once has he said that.

I've been told it's someone with about 700 million who has something to do with property and is a businessman in London. Will be interesting to see if that's true.

Not worth several hundreds of millions though.

That's not what happened at all.

Why? Because someone made a couple of jokes on an internet forum? Shocking.

Near the pinball machine?

Far better to laugh about a bad situation than to cry about it I reckon.
