  1. So many of these clubs are going to be sick about the money they're spending on some of these players.

     

    At least we will be able to laugh about that very soon. That will be a small source of satisfaction at least. Something to look forward to I guess.

    Get in, can't wait
  2. Sounds doubtful. Thought we hated structured deals and only did cash. So drop the add ons and a straight lowball 6m bid sounds much more likely.

    They've probably done it this way so they can say to Rafa they've bid £11mill BUT that it's been rejected. Then when Rafa speaks to PSG again they'll tell him the reality.
  3. Why do they think they can lowball PSG? PSG are possibly the richest club in football.

    Because the lowballing benefits Ashley/Charnley, they don't care who the other team is
  4. Holding shares entitles you to sttend the AGM and ask pertinent questions. Bird and Caulkin did this but didnt frame their questions well and made them easy to bat away.

     

    The voting rights are pretty worthless as this is a company with 500m+ shares outstanding so they wont have any impact. SD regularly gets into scraps with institutional shareholders over governance (such as appointing unqualified in-laws to senior positions) but with Ashley holding >50pc he still rules the roost on most issues.

    Thing is though, even though they can bat it away, if we keep getting at them in every meeting then it will become tedious for them, also potentially derailing key issues, especially if some sort of crises was to come up.

    Not sure viable/legal/practical it is BUT if we have a canny number of fans rocking up and just asking about nufc then it becomes an issue for Ashley/other significant shareholders.

     

    The moment we make it a problem for SD is the moment I believe he'll get us sold.

     

    Right now owning us is easy and it benefits SD, if we can flip that and make it uncomfortable and hindrance to SD then hopefully we'll be rid of him.

  5. That was a decent chance for Charlton, should be more than 1 up, let's hope they don't regret it

     

    couldn't believe how tame that effort was man

     

     

     

     

    then remembered these are in League 1

    Same, some awful touches and passes and I have to remind myself there's a reason for that, the standard is shite
  6.  

     

    I understand not everyone is capable of boycotting ...

     

    Everyone is capable of boycotting ... some just choose not to , for all the reasons you've delineated and some equally moronic ones you haven't ... but everyone who buys a season ticket is an adult human with agency , they could boycott but they'd rather not ( the cunts )

     

    That's kind of what I was getting at, they're not willing to take that step, I see it as a capability issue, it's clearly a weakness imo.

     

    Although I personally think boycotting should be done and would be effective I accept not everyone will agree with that BUT what isn't acceptable is just rocking up every week and not doing anything. That's just not on, you don't want to sacrifice your fortnightly habit, fair enough BUT then do something else.

     

  7. The more this gains momentum and the more visibly pissed off the fans are, the more Ashley will take the piss and put less money in.

     

    Either we stay up and Rafa goes, then we go down and sink, or we go down this season and Rafa goes and we sink.

     

    Ashley doesnt seem to give a shit what happens, its a matter of him being boss. Fucked either way.

    Less money? Less than what exactly?

     

    He's putting in absolutely nowt, even the money the club generates is not being put back in.

     

    The battle lines have been drawn by Ashley, now it's up to each fan to decide where they stand.

     

    I understand not everyone is capable of boycotting, either they naively believe they can "support the team and not the regime" or they aren't willing to make the necessary sacrifice BUT they then should be doing something else.

     

    Just turning up to the match and/or criticising those that are trying to do something is not an option, well it is BUT it's a cowards option.
