  • Plod?

    Plod nickname comes directly from Enid Blyton’s Noddy stories. Officer plod was a fat, slow, thick policeman.

    So what were the latest rumours at the game today? Any new deadlines to count down to?

    Went in a well known watering hole before the game, staff member told me, after plod had done their visit,
    that plod told him that it would be signed today and announced next week.




    Good gawd... will this thread get any more ridicilous?

  • You can always ask the bloke in the liberal club that told me, he's bigger and harder than me,
    and probably you as well : -0

    I heard something similar from old bill because Mick Everitt has told them it will happen after the Norwich game, we will see.

    The deadline has passed.

  • So Mag gone another going this week,Bowyer dosnt know about his own future and Lyle injured,wr cant even field a full subs bench one week before the kick off --------so Mr Seed just out of interest what do the Aussies expect to be left when they finaly arrive ----assuming of course that they are ,which i no longer believe. Only asking as they said through you "2tough weeks but it will all be worth it".

    Im still thinking Bowyer could walk any day.
  • Just how long after the Norwich game will it be announced?

    No because it will happen after the Norwich game

    1 day after, 1 week after, 1 month after, 1 light year after...

    Oh good. We can now have a diversion about light years and how they're not a unit of time, but of distance. Just when we were all beginning to think that this thread had run out of tangents.

  • Plod?

    Slang term for pigs, filth, rozzers, old bill, Babylon
    I know that, the sentence just didn't make sense to me.
  • I’m just struggling to find any positives and believe that the new season will be nothing other than looking over our shoulders and hoping there’s three or four other clubs that are shitter than us. I’ve abandoned hope and that hurts my heart.
  • What's even more worrying is the fact most of what's left in our threadbare squad will be out of contract next year.

    Not a good place to be if the deal's off, RD's still here next summer and we find ourselves in League Two.

    And the value of the club is halfed and he loses even more money.

  • Starting to feel helpless , but what cam douchbag really be getting out of this bizarre situation. Surely there will have to come w point when he has to cut his losses.
  • For the last fecking time......the ex-director loans DO NOT have to be repaid AT ALL until we reach the Premiership. There is NO OUTLAY NOW. This figure may NEVER have to be repaid EVER if we never reach thse Premiership.

    Anyone buying us now could simply take on the liability in the knowledge that they will only EVER have to find £7m when the promised land is reached & if thats in the next 5-10 years then any payment from the PL will cover this many many times over.

    Furthermore. The £7m does not increase over time. It is not inflation linked. Even in 20 years time it is £7m. To me as a financial man it is a very attractive type of debt. One (or more) of the loanees may wanr repaying before then anyway (divorce/ex wife/widow/retirement) and so may want to cut a deal SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

    The only negative aspect (for any new owner)is that the loanees have first charge over The Valley, which could make it harder to borrow.....but if they have their funding & 5 year plan why the need to borrow against the ground ??

    To me its a no brainer. IF this is the only/main reason for the delay then I would ask why ??. By delaying the takeover for months means this season is now a write off & our best bet is that we survive relegation when a properly funded squad could challenge for promotion.

    So please can we put to bed the mantra of "why should The Aussies pay this debt in addition to the purchase price". They do not have to find the £7m now.....it will not detract from any current funding....its is a red herring.

    Logical argument, but I suspect they set up the consortium with a few simple rules, and former directors loans may be complications that break those rules. Just a guess though.

    Time they changed the rules then I would suggest.......either shit or get off the pot.

    And you can tell that to GM !!

    Yeah but somehow we always seem to get the wrong end of the stick, so I won’t bother.

    Do the ex-directors have to agree to have their loans rolled over to a new party on the same conditions (no pay until Prem) or can Roland do it unilaterally?
