Guest swintonowl1999 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Bluesky What doyou mean? Nobody had a picture of him at S6 so I doubt he saw how big the club was. Maybe by pictures but I can't remember seeing a Bluesky What doyou mean? Nobody had a picture of him at S6 so I doubt he saw how big the club potential was.

TrickyTrev Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Even before all of this financial mess kicked off with RC Lens, I was a little concerned with the thought of Hafiz Mammadov taking over. It never really sat well with me that we were just going to be yet another club to add to a group of clubs he already owned. I'm not convinced his focus would have been on us enough to help us progress and if he did lose interest in his other clubs and put all of his energies into us, then who's to say that a year or 2 down the line he wouldn't add another club or 2 to his collection and lose interest in us. Everything that's happened since in how he's screwed over RC Lens is just confirmation that we dodged a bullet. You really have to feel for the RC Lens and FC Baku fans.

roaminowl Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 "A lot of you people".... F.ookin' idiots..."A lot of you people" Never get the facts right...."A lot of you people" But the main thing that f.ookin' bothers me..is how you bloody generalise..."A lot of you people" I was thinking the same thing. All these people getting excited after our owner told us we were being taken over by a good man, but not swintonowl. He knew different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think Mr mammas dogs government shafted him to be fair, and i didnt like his big wine glass either, show off I am sure he upset the powers that be to be fair. Made his money in Azerbaijan, was loved there, and lost favour when he wanted to leave the country, at which point they made it difficult for him to get his money out of the country.

Also still pi55ing myself over Milan advising Mr C he needs to get his wallet out. Edited April 16, 2015 by theowlsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 At face value he seemed ideal and able to spend really big money. The downside would be that he would never really be here and stretched too thin. I used to think we were cursed but someone took his money away just in the nick of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 For all you dewy eyed happy clappers-MM would have sold us had Mamadov come up with the cash-make no mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, had the cheque cleared, I imagine MM would have gave HM the keys and walked out of Hillsborough holding open the door for the incoming incoming Azerbaijani debt collecters. Not that i would blame him as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Surely if Mammadov had stumped up the £40m then he'd have had access to his cash, meaning there wouldn't have been an issue him buying us at that point. So hardly a stick to beat MM with? Luckily his issues started before the club was signed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hardly a stick to beat MM with? Luckily his issues started before the club was signed over. No one slating MM imo. MM agreed to sell us to HM, had HM's financial troubles (that some on here found out about way before MM got sick of waiting) had surfaced aday after the cheque cleared, we would be up sheet creek. We got lucky and dodged a bullet. I just found the MM wankathon when he sold us to DC a bit sickly, when it could have so easily gone boobies up.

nickswfc Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Not slating MM. He did his job and sold us on for a profit with the club in a better position, win-win. But the "only sell to someone special" stuff was laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
