This is the same Morgan Schneiderlin that people were worried we were going to sell to Arsenal in the transfer window for a vast profit? Weren't the rumours going around when he was acquired that Arsenal have actually bought him we are just borrowing him for a while??

Yes, but any money he has put towards Chelsea is in the form of a Director's Loan! heaven help Chelsea should he ever get bored of it..

You're obviously all not what you think you are John otherwise you would have achieved this whilst going to the odd home match!! I mean it's only 23 days out of 365!! So, not only could you have cojones the size of melons but you could have helped save the club too. Shame on you John!!

I said 7-8 working hours, the other 4-5 would be, ahem, working lunches (all expense paid by the admin fees!)

7-8 working hours a day, say one hour on average to interview each prospective bidder, obviously the Tyre Kickers will be weeded out in 10mins. So that's 5 days tops if he puts his mind to it.. I can imagine some sort of X-Factor type audition for the buyers at SMS. Turn up and get your 'audition' in the order you turned up. Panel consisting of Mark Fry, Lawrie Mac, Mary Corbett and Leon. 3 people say yes and your through to Takeover BootCamp!!

I see Leon and Lawrie are admiring their new sign!!

Sheesh, what else have I missed that's gone straight over my head??

LOL, I'm old but not that old.....we used to get BFBS which was about 2 or 3 weeks behind. So no Grandstand, no live sports Just before we came back to the UK they updated the microwave link from the UK to Germany so we could get live telly. And the first program broadcast live on this mega-bucks microwave link was Eastenders IIRC!!

'scuse me if I fail to get the pun but don't you mean academic??

The only one I know is :- q : "What dog's got Wings" a : "Linda McCartney" Am I showing my age?? P.S. I have nothing to add about who, what or where regarding any takeover

Exactly what I was thinking!!

Man look at those lobes!! He's got to be serious with lobes like that.. oo-mox anyone??

But hasn't he been on loan at Swansea since before Christmas? Unless of course it was Swansea that offered the £.5M

Maybe the were as shocked at Barclays pulling the plug as we are!! To sell or loan players other clubs have to be interested in them and willing to pay a decent price for them. Also the player pretty much has to want to move too. I remember rumours of some players being wanted but I have not heard of any figures. No-one appeared to want Saga or Skacel so we're stuck with their wages. Lallana and Surman were probably the only realistic targets and you can bet your bottom dollar that any offers for them were ****takes!! They don't have nor can raise any readies ?? Then we wouldn't have a team at all and relegation would be a certainty.

When I'm 45 my son will be coming up to 7 so it'll be the right age to take him. I certainly wouldn't take him before he was 5! I was watching the MoanU game last night whilst listening to the radio and they showed a bloke with a 2-3 year old asleep in his arms. Kids eh!!

The biggest thing is to get past this perception that SFC is C£30M in debt, which it factually is! However C£24M of this is a mortgage on the stadium that can be restructured at favourable rates (or as Derry say negotiated down to a smaller amount) The other C£4-6M can be paid off by the MultiMillionaire Philanthropist (MMP)!! So as long as the MMP can get a big enough turnover or can earn enough cash year on year to pay off the mortgage then all they have to fork out, initially, is C£4-6M to pay off the overdraft and other debts. Then promise some cash to improving the squad etc. etc. etc. Sold to the MMP at the bar

And there was me thinking you were of the female persuasion :confused: And has anyone actually confirmed L-JM alter-egos or is all guess work??

Keep checking back here :- http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/Football/Championship/VideoIndex/0,,12555,00.html they haven't put the video up as yet

no no no no Mike Osman was probably the worst thing to come out of the Wilde/Crouch era!! Mike Osman is about as funny as a anaesthetic free hip replacement operation!!

But that's the point, none of us know what has occured with the bank. Maybe the week before they were telling RL that everything was rosy, there was certainly no indication on here from the ITKs to indicate otherwise. What we do know is that Barclay's have had a sudden change of heart and have pulled the plug on us!! What we need/want to know is what prompted the change??

Just do want any other company does and re-brand the positions Centre-Forwards can become Goal Achievers Midfielders - Central Pitch Facilitators etc etc

Eh?? If we stay up and the independent panel rules against us the pts deduction would be applied this season, we would (more than likely be relegated) but no pts deduction next season! If we get relegated and the independent panel rules against us the pts deduction will be applied next season! So we haven't yet needlessly started next season with -10pts!! Also RL thought that the rules could be bent and the 10pts wouldn't apply. And have you thought that at the end of March the banks were saying all was fine. Then the wages went through on the last Friday of the month, after the deadline, breaking our OD by 2.5%. So the bank decided to pull the plug!!

FFS how many times?? Lowe and Wilde resigned from BOTH boards.. It's as clear as day in the first post in this thread that David Jones and Kenneth Tointon are the ONLY members of the SFC Board!!

Stockings and high heels!! Bet you thought I'd say Trousers.........damn!!
