Davkaus Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If they're considering offers of around 25m, we should cancel our transfer plans for a season or two and buy the bastards out. Then establish the nation's largest urinal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 i dont understand why any person looking for a club would want to buy them, terrible stadium, no history (barring their cup win) poor squad, no money and a horrid turd set of a fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then establish the nation's largest urinal. Don't go and let our indifference to Small Heath blind you to the truth: it's still a mildly sizeable stadium with okay facilities. We could use it as another training pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Or better still, we should show and interest and string them along right up until the point of them going bankrupt before pulling out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2013 Warnock is adamant he's properly retired and won't manage again, and I believe him. If I was very, very rich, I would definitely buy them for £25M, disband the club and demolish the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 didnt yeung buy them for more than double that figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Warnock doesn't want a manager job. But I think he would take a director of football role in the Midlands if offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read his autobiography, I get the impression that he thinks that Paladini is the best person that he has ever worked with. If Paladini buys SHA he will certainly need help, and if he turns to his friend for that hep, it could well be forthcoming. Don't ask me why I read his autobiography.....

TrentVilla Posted October 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2013 This is all rather curious. To summarise, Pannu says Yeung doesn't want to sell, we've The Mirror saying a deal is close and someone else who seems to have some sort of inside track saying that Pannu is somehow blocking the sale for self interest. How on earth can Pannu block the sale of a club he doesn't own? As for Warnock, I detest that man if he ends up there I'm not sure I'm capable of disliking him any more than I already do which gives me a problem.

Pannu is no longer blocking the sale, although it isn't done and dusted yet. Paladini thinks that Clark has been working with one arm tied behind his back, and deserves a chance. I guess this points to any Warnock involvement being the suggested DOF type role, rather than my suggestion that he could be their next manager. The whole deal should be sorted in the next week or so but, if it falls through, then somewhere in mid-November the crisis will start to build towards their potential Armageddon. It does appear that they are at the last chance saloon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongotastic Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This also provides me with a problem. I for one like Warnock. Having met him, he is actually a thoroughly nice bloke who has immense passion for football. However, being as how SHA are the antithesis of a proper football club and can't muster a gate much over 13k for a home game he would do well to steer well clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Warnock wants a part time director of football role and he would prefer the midlands, he has recently moved to the south west and is not keen on travelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post turnbull Posted October 9, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think for 25 mill we should buy the sty, flatten it and build "The SHA Experience Theme Park" (sponsored by Nicolites). There would be loads of really disappointing rides, like the rollercoaster that climbs halfway up, hangs there for a while, then falls dramatically back down to the bottom again. Free e-fags for the kids too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe both City and Colin so hopefully it will end in tears for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hicks and Gillette were the owners and Martin Broughton, the chairman. Broughton oversaw the sale of the club to Fenway against the will of the chairmen. Never understood how that was able to happen.

Broughton oversaw the sale of the club to Fenway against the will of the chairmen. Never understood how that was able to happen. It was becaues the banks owned Liverpool not Gillette and Hicks. Broughton was brought in by the banks to sell the club as Hicks and Gillette weren't able to re-negociate their debt arrangement. As far as I remember all parties ended up losing significant amounts of money (deservedly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
