Got it on good authority from a mate at the airport that Doreen Swine and Margaret Burgerbun (both 25) cut their holiday short and are heading back to buy the club.

 

 

Is that THE Margaret Burgerbun?  :naughty:

What time during the day did the two statements from BZG happen at the end of May?

 

:lol: You're in for a long day, mate.

 

I'm sure both statements were issued in the afternoon, so if you're feeling optimistic then there's still time yet.

Its obvious this takeover was never going to happen, but surely the reason there was "no comment" from the club was that any statement that BZG were timewasters would have a detrimental impact on the sale of season tickets.  Keeping fans hanging on thinking the club was going to be sold meant many fans would happily renew their ST

 

Of course this was all based on their assumption that Rafa would toe the line and sign his new contract.

The club verified their statement was accurate via the chronicle

If a short term deal for any manager coming in is all that’s on offer, that has to be a sign that something will change in the near to mid future?

Just because the club confirmed the BZG statement was accurate doesn't mean Fatso had any real intention of selling.

He was only correcting you on what you said about the 'no comment' from the club regarding the statement.

I think he’s up for selling it but only at the exact price he wants with the exact conditions. All of which will probably be prohibitive and also any time a price is agreed and the deal is almost done, he’ll try to squeeze just a little more out of the buyer even if it risks the whole sale.

The club didn't sell him, his clause was met. And maybe, regardless of the takeover, Perez thought it was time for a new challenge.

 

That he chose Leicester as the new challenge is disappointing but La Liga clubs won't spend £30m on him so there's no choice for him.

 

Leicester are far more ambitious than us.

Aye it's not like they're Burnley.

Also more ambitious than us. In fact, every club in England is more ambitious than us.

South Shields have more ambition than us

 

I don't think there is a club in world football that set out to fail or reach bare minimum as we do. Ashley doesn't give two fucks if we get relegated as part of his model seems to be that we are in a position to spend to get back to where we are now which is just existing.

 

What we all should do is abandon that fucking club, let it rot and go pack grass roots clubs and help them grow. Gateshead, Hebburn or Shields for me
