Jareth Posted June 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2018 Think @TheEgo is correct, that tweet is more about timing than content - Tony's had plenty of chances to allay fears and his silence has done all the talking. Sounds like, 'hi I'm back and working', to be followed probably soon with 'have enjoyed owning the club but a deal is coming', then 'see-ya bitches!'.

Protesting is pointless, given he's in China, and given that he's not unaware of the mess. He knows what needs to be done and has taken enabling steps to allow it to happen. He has been utterly reckless, but (and this isn't to excuse that) but..the "solution" to the cashflow problem is shares => cash. It appears that's been facilitated. The source of that cash needs to not be dodgy loans, but shareholder investment, ideally by a responsible, competent owner(s), not a faker or charlatan. The solution to the underlying income < expenditure is sustainable cost cutting + increasing income The solution to FFP is also sustainable cost cutting + increasing income, plus, unfortunately, player sales. Yup, let's now sit tight and hope it happens. Odd that we can all see that yes a "Professor" from Harvard can't..... Good times!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And towards the end of his reign I bet some of you were saying Doug was 10 times better? Lol He did lose interest, I didn't realise or feel the need to expand on why, he himself said as much. Please don't tar me with the brush you tar others with. I always thought Lerner to be a gent with a moral compass and felt bad for him to an extent, nothing remotely similar between the two or Doug Ellis for that matter, so don't go trying to find arguments that don't exist.

Keener window-cleaner Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm happy to hear something is going on and that Xia perhaps is on his way out, but I'm also a bit scared of who might come in... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 3 hours ago, ViewFromT2 said: If we are calling in £750k due to us in January, I think it's quite obvious we have called in every penny we can get already....whether it's in the public domain or not! I mean, how desperate must we be to collect £1m last week when we were due it next week anyway....and then call in a poultry £750k due in January 2019? Not forgetting both of these fees will incorporate some sort of charge presumable, so we probably won't even collect the full £1.75m.......We seriously do not have a pot to piss in at the moment. I find it staggering that people are still in denial over the position the club are clearly in! ‘Denial’ Has everyone in this thread not said that the clubs position isn’t good? Are you just purposely bending the truth to piss people off? ‘It’s quite obvious we have called in every penny we can get already’. Jesus wept, are you serious? Proof of the Amavi and Sanchez fees being called in automatically means it’s obvious we have called in everything else? I’m sure there are numerous other conclusions we could jump to, from just knowing about the Amavi and Sanchez fees, but I guess you’d just ignore them, laugh it off and call ‘denial!’ or something similar, so I’ll just not bother, and instead reach for that ignore button, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Might be good to read the news. Might be good to see how your club (for the time being) is perceived at the moment. Might be a good idea to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I wonder what he's holding out for... Presumably as he has turned down £40m for 51%, it's either £80+ for everything or £40m for 49% and keeping control. Getting back what he paid would save face I guess. If there are serious talks, there's no way Jack would be cashed in on at this point. Wait and see... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
