Give it to Ron Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Interesting comment on SSN just now that Gold was looking to invest in a club south of Watford...he mentioned West Ham, Brighton and Southampton. Where the heck was he 12 months ago when we were desperate....whatever anyone says Brady is decent at her job. No thanks now though think we are more than happy with what we have.

benjii Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 True, but Oldknow is the operations executive and has a history in football. Gold and Sullivan would presumably want some sort of equity investment and personally I am happy with Herr Liebherr and Herr Liebherr alone at the moment when it comes to ownership!

alpine_saint Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Call me prudish if you will, but I'd rather have a bloke owning the club who makes heavy machinery than one who makes dildos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 For a while prior to the takeover I expected Sullivan to purchase the Stadium and rent it back to those who did not have enough money to purchase the whole club! It was a strong rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the size of some of the dildos you see nowadays (so i'm reliably informed), they fall into the category of heavy machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Wasn't Sullivan involved with Birmingham or he did he pack it in a while ago?Yes he was still involved so could not buy the club.

krissyboy31 Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Really? I'm amazed if there are no rules preventing that. It's clearly a massive conflict of interest. He was probably planning his exit strategy at the time. Remember this Yeong takeover has been going on for over a year now. Could well have been planning a takeover once his ties with Brum were severed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Um, successfully advising experts on sports purchases for a long duration of his career should count for something.... Yes I'm not knocking it but at the moment the boardroom consists of 2 people (3, if you include Teflon). Cortese wants to add at least another one in the guise of a Sporting Director but surely someone with Gold or Brady's experience would be a beneficial and possibly preferable appointment?

Yes he was still involved so could not buy the club. However a property deal for the stadium did not break any rules. There was the small problem of money still being tied in with Birmingham. If Yeung does not complete or another buyer cannot be found, he is stuck in limbo. He was the guest of **** Knight a couple of times, but even he reckoned Saints were more likely than Brighton. When you consider what we have now, someone as good as Sullivan hardly registers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Ok, what was actually said was: Asked specifically about West Ham, he replied: "I wouldn't dwell on the problems or previous owners. "What I would say to you is that travelling to Birmingham City Football Club and now having left them, it's a three hour journey to get there and a three hour journey to get back. "So I'd like to change that, now that I'm making a change in my life. I wouldn't want to go north of Watford to a new club. "Is West Ham south of Watford? Yes it is, but so is Brighton, Charlton, Southampton - there's lots. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5627767,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 I was also aware of Sullivan being interested especially the purchase of the stadium aspect.
