timeforaboycott Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I don't think the investment process has taken this long for LS/NP to leave us in the hands of unfit custodians,hopefully we wil know something very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest triple j Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 F*ck me, it read to me like a positive thread about people you like and a decent team versus plenty of money and new owners you don't know. Is it only todays result we can talk about? It was a perfectly reasonable thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan27 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 if the bank are willing to write off 58% of the debt who cares I think we should care because if the person taking over put us into even more debt with somebody else then we could end up being worse off. Just look at Portsmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Iam sure that Strafford would stand aside if it meant securing us substantial investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at Portsmouth. Portsmouth will survive mate...they may drop a division or even two...20'000 folk payin' £30 a throw will always have a market...this ludicrous merry go round of mummery will carry on as long as we let it...

Just look at Portsmouth. Lee has already said that he has no intention of letting any fly by night chancers near the club andThe investment will be on a sustainable basis.

Guest ashjam Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 if the bank are willing to write off 58% of the debt who cares Aye, but presumably, the Co-op wouldn't have an issue with doing the same or writing off more of the debt if the level of dosh being brought in was more than £8million. But whatever, the poster is being hypothetical anyway so it's irrelevent innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Which part of the investment...rather than takeover are you struggling with??Its the bit where someone comes in with offers of Billions..but only has £2 .75 in the bank........................

It was a perfectly reasonable thread. thanks triple _ j, spot on. for the record, i'd take the latter. you only have to look at the work that has been done off the field to know that LS & NP have the club's best interests at heart. look at man utd and the cack they are in for submitting to foreign investment who, imo, see the club as nothing more than a commercial pursuit. for me, any investment we get has to be conditional on things continuing in the same form as they have been: making progress off the field and improving our image where it counts, in the local community, then go further. what would you say if LS delivered investment only for such investors to have viewed us as easy money, and when it doesn't work out 100% as planned, leave us up poo poo creek (further) debt-ridden.

jasper Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Iam sure that Strafford would stand aside if it meant securing us substantial investment. any final decision wouldn't be straffords. it would be down to the only major shareholder on the board,one goefry hulley. and maybe someone else.

dan27 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Which part of the investment...rather than takeover are you struggling with??I know the difference between the two, it's just I wouldn't want to see somebody come in and invest, then decide they want Lee and Nick out, then decide they want to lend us stupid ammounts of money and put us further into debt.

Guest ashjam Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Why... do we owe another bank??? Do the same as what they're offering to do if someone stumps up £8million. You've misunderstood mate. £8million plus agreed debt reduction or more than £8million into the club and same debt reduction or better - just for clarity But as it's all hypothetical lets just forget all about it.

Wise_Owl Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) hypothetical question: if a takeover was dependent on LS and NP stepping down so that a new board could be installed, would you: - want LS and NP to go and let the takeover happen or - decline the investment and seek/wait for different investors without such demands? Strange question.What if we signed a new striker, but it would mean having to let Marcus Tudgay leave. Would you be pleased or disappointed? Doesn't it depend entirely on the replacement, and the intentions of the new investors? Edited January 23, 2010 by Wise_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmyowl1212 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 second option for me. At least with LS and NP at the helm we wont get in the sh!t again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thetruthisoutthere Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Im gonna side step the original question cos it is none relevant in that Why......... considering all of the progression L/S and N/P have made.......why the hell would anyone want to split up such a winning team ? Im side stepping it with this........25k when we were 21st in the league and playing the worst team in the league with the 2nd worst away support will have done our investment chances no harm at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
