Is Gary Monk not doing a decent job at Swansea?? Is Scott McDonald not playing for Strachan himself at Celtic, Brian Howard, he's dump right?. Now I've not enough temporal knowledge to say whether Strachan let those lads go or not but they were here, they aren't now.

Crouch wants total control or nothing, he tried to take it once with some scheme or other.Wilde will never ally himself with Crouch again. Crouch has money,or so they say,why has he never tried to buy outright control? because he knows that withoutout Wilde and without Lowe (by that I mean his axis) it is unacheivalbe. The only way SISU could do it was by diluting the unknown holdings by a restricted rights issue, diluting the holdings of everybody else by creating new shares only accessible to themselves. Wilde obviously feared a similar manoeuvre at some time because when the famous 2 million was in question he stipulated that in the event of any rights issue those 2million would be converted into new shares owned by himself. -

You keep right on believing that Wes, it won't work, didn't work before ,won't work now.At best he'll blow the fuse (Jan) which will buy him a bit more time. We'll have worked ourselves into a position where we don't need to sell millions of season tickets, a lot more contracts are up in June, the academy is full of hopefuls. Lowe has just 1 objective this season, survival, he doesn't give a rats arse about the rest.We will survive financially,he will make it so. If we can stay in the CCC there is a whole new gravy train next season. +£3 million in guaranteed extra TV money is worth almost 9000 ST sold to moaning minnies in the stands, he wants that revenue stream,he will take the measures necessary to obtain it,; with or without the fans. Then if you want to see football next season well you'll have to buy a ticket for each match.ST prices will probably be so attractive in March that hardcore fans will fall over themselves to get them. Lowe isn't an amateur, the people organising all these protests probably are. -
He wanted to leave,a little bird told me he was openly setting up a move to the Gulf even last January at the African Nations Cup. He was talking to anyone with a silver dollar and a team in any hotel in wherever it was. In fact after their opening day victory most of Morocco's squad were doing that and only that.

When blokes like Lowe take over something it doesn't get untaken over for buttons and peanuts, which is about all we've ever learnt from the whole Crouch+Wilde charade.They thought they could ride into town with a couple of beer bottle caps in their saddlebags (albeit 4 million or so) sweet talk a few people in the saloon and run the show. Didn't work Never works on Al Swearengen in Deadwood either.

Wotton is a bit of a crude hacker though, need to drop down another division for his type of football to be acceptable. Seth Johnson , good player, money went to his head though, got into gambling or something didn't he (don't they all) I fact real badass players who have a modicum of talent are now few and far between,which is why Utd and Liverpool pay fortunes for blokes like Vidic and Scholes still gets a game at his advanced age.

Publicly Askham,Withers,Windsor Clive,Cowan, Inheritors of Tony Dye,perhaps Richards,whoever Tom Scott sold the 550K shares he took off Lowe's Old Man and probably a bit from Singh as well to(nobody probably, probably just buried in an offshore maze) Marland is mixed up in there somewhere, other "business associates" of Lowe and or any of the bunch named above, Lowe's family, their family, family's of all of aforenamed etc etc.Don't forget the rights issue wasn't fully taken up by the "rightees".A lot probably got spirited away into dark dank places where no-one would ever think of looking for them. Singh has cashed in who know where those 4.62% went etc etc. -

Yep but he won't. When Crouch tried to usurp control back in July 2007 who did he try and put in as Chairman, yep Paul Thompson (or is it Thomson) now where does he fit into the puzzle, underwrote the rights issue, sold out to Wilde, kept a few shares and then Crouch tries to resuscitate him for no apparent reason rather than say a figurehead like Mike Richards or even Mary Corbett. -
Because they KNOW that it makes no f*cking difference. They know the workings and mechanics of the PLC. Did someone not say after seeing the books and all the kerphumph that there are unfathomable mechanisms in place. LLS perhaps or St David, idiots yes, but knowledgeable idiots all the same.

Is this not what I told you ? except the uncontactable are uncontactable for a reason.

I mean that's a good side isn't it?? except that there's no bite in midfield whatsoever.Then again we don't have anyone capable of injecting any anyway.

Keep on thinking that way then Derry.I would wager that some of the 20% are well and truly "aligned". I studied this for a long ,long time,just out of interest really,even looked up the family connections of some of the "non-entitys". You'd be surprised.Obviously they're all independant people backing their judgement in each case :rolleyes::rolleyes: -
13th it was. Should have got a decent manager straight away, we knew he was going for long enough. But we cacked up, let Laurie Mac meddle in it,throw in a bit of nepotism and we appointed the Dreadful Duo,which got us into the lower realms of the table as if by magic. Then we got pearson who took a bit of time to get anything organised so we finished 21st more by luck than judgement and we could so easily be lording it over League 1 instead of Leicester today. Except that all those big earning hangers on would have taken a little cut in pay if it had meant not playing in the dreaded league 1,getting the shyte kicked out of them by apprentice blacksmiths and donkey farmers every week. We might have been just as well off actually.

Euell is out of it, he'll probably never play for us again. We might even loan him out and cover a part of his pay
-
I've read on the BBC today that the players wanted Brynn Gunn as their manager. That will end in tears, told you they would appoint a complete non-entity. He was a crap keeper, he'll be a crap manager-well just next tuesday for a start.

Would depend what the bond note holder had to say about it wouldn't it. If you want to sell your house in theory you have to pay up the mortgage before you do. Obviously your solicitor pays the outstanding balnce from the money he receives for it on completion day. This would probably be the same thing. Do not forget Wilde+Crouch=26.41% of the share issue. If that figure goes over 30% even in the context of a concert party then they have to bid for the entire share issue at the most elevated price paid for any of the shares, ie 65p,Crouch nearly dropped them in it first time round, that's why Wilde learned not to trust Crouch's "enthusiasm" and he got the reputation of bumbling loose cannon ."It is Paul Allen" in the Echo sure didn't help. -

I love for someone to kick him into the top row of the stands as well but then I don't suppose I'm supposed to say that sort of thing. -

I'd rather have Hoddle though.

Yes of course we got some fine results, when James Beattie hit a hot streak because Fab was setting him up time and time again. However when they went off the boil,driving convictions not helping, then so did we. I know they both moved on, can't remember if it was before or after WGS left.One thing I would remark on the WGS era though is the **** poor number of young players from the academy making their way into the first team. Could be that I'm totally wrong on that, Bridge I know but it would seem that virtually everybody else was bought in, though as I say I could be completely wrong about that.Baird did well in the Cup Final, after that nothing.
