We didn't have a president the last time I checked <_< I would take whatever the sports minister says with a grain of salt, and a large grain at that. Chances are he knows just as much as we do ie fuck all.

Voted for the Malaysians because I have the right to be biased. <_< In all honesty though, Krishnan is a far better businessman than Ashley ever will be.

I'm starting to think the current Mike Ashley we know is nothing more than a conman who has taken over the real Mike Ashley's identity, because I just can't imagine how this retard was a "self-made billionaire".

Thats like asking a mackem whether you should trust a geordie. Edit: better.

ARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Wake me up now. Please.

Southampton is my second team, so... yes I'd like to see him manage them <_<

Can't say I'm bothered.

"Ambition" Cash, cash and more cash. Everything follows from cash.

His contract is ending soon, isn't it?

This is also the company that's paying Liverpool FC to go to Singapore.

This is for the few who can't be bothered to do some perfunctory googling. This was presumably posted by a Hounslow resident: http://forums.hounslowchronicle.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=548 And here's the official response from the Hounslow Council: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/position_on_green_belt_and_lower Something from someone who "invested" through their UK office (which liquidated in 2007) http://abskey.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/profitable-plots-where-have-they-disappeared-2/ Oh and I decided to check out one of their "divisions" on a whim and found something about a revolutionary lubricant called "Boron-CLS-Bond" http://www.profitablegroup.com/docs/boron/Boron%20-%20Brochure.pdf which was yet another scam: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/233/RipOff0233760.htm To sum it all up for you, they're nothing more than a massive scam. I'd sooner have FS over these fuckers.

I suppose thats easier for you to say, since I won't be able to watch most of our matches from where I am.

Sad cunt. The bit about all the other media outlets being fooled is funny btw considering: Unsurprisingly that page has now been pulled. So they're actually reading those emails?

If we are going to gear up for a long stay in the championship, then yes, it is impossible. More to the point, what we can afford will depend on who our new owners are.

If Profitable Group were to own us the first thing they'd do is to take the club apart, and liquidate the company while the directors run off with the money.

It depends on the timescale I suppose <__<

The amount of money Shephard took out of the club was by no means a small sum, and he never actually risked his own bank account in the process (on the contrary, I would not be in the least bit surprised if he made a real killing out of us) - in fairness to Mike, he's taken a bigger financial loss than the combined income of NO's membership, in all likelihood. So, why the hell are people painting FS out to be some sort of saviour/saint, and Mike some kind of devil whose only purpose in life was to make all of us miserable?

Third, and thats the sad thing about this situation

Because they don't live in the North-East?

Seriously? From what I've read on here I thought they tore you a new asshole that game

ive seen companies do that, buy a cheap field in the greenbelt with zero prospect of ever developing it, divide it into lots, make some glossy brochures and sell the plots off to ignorant suckers. they're no more than high-end con artists if what you say is true. Yep, thats about all it is. Look at the ads Singapore Mag posted if you want to confirm that. "Now everybody can own UK land!"

Do a google on them. A big part of their business is selling greenbelt land in the UK to suckers from Asia, with the prospect of "developing" said land in the near future.

How do you take a company which hires former footballers in executive positions seriously? Not to mention that their landbanking scheme is a clear scam.

Include Malaysia in that estimate too. A part of me will die if Profitable Group really buys the club.

... Profitable Group? If I lived in the city, I might just off myself now.
