I offer this as a public service so that we do not have to wade through pages of jokes based on the word "Tan".
Why did the scientist go to the tanning salon? Because he was a pale-ontologist.
What did the pig say while she was tanning? I'm bacon!
What is the best day to get a tan on the beach? Sun-day, of course!
Why do you rarely find mathematicians spending time at the beach? Because they have sine and cosine to get a tan and don't need the sun!
Did you hear about the tanning Olympics? Everbody tried to get bronzed.
Where do people on the upper east side go to get some sun? Manhat-tan.
Did you hear about the witch who went to beach? She frigh-tanned everyone.
What kind of pilgrims go to the beach? Puritans.
Who loves the sun the most in the Middle East? The Sul-tan of Brunei.
What is a woman's least favourite summer dance? Tango (tan-go)
Why did the cheerleader put extra salt on her skin instead of tanning lotion? She wanted to do summer salts.
I just turned my brightness all the way up on the iPhone & got a nice little tan.
There is a fine line between a tan and looking like you rolled around in a bag of doritos.
I competed in the sun-tanning Olympics, but all I did was get bronze.
Yo momma so fat, she uses the entire country of Mexico as a tanning bed.
People think that Donald Trump has crossed over to the dark side. But in reality he just fell asleep in the tanning bed.
In a thousand years people will dig up tanning beds and think we fried people as punishment.
A rather well proportioned young lady, spent almost all of her vacation sunbathing on the roof of the hotel. She wore a bathing suit the first day but, on the second, being a naturist, she decided that no one could see her way up there, and she slipped out of it for an overall tan. She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running up the stairs. She was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear. "Excuse me, miss," said the flustered little assistant manager of the hotel, out of breath from running up the stairs. "The hotel doesn't mind you sunbathing on the roof but we would very much appreciate you wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday." "What difference does it make," Joan asked rather calmly. "No one can see me up here, and besides, I'm covered with a towel." "Not exactly," said the embarrassed little man. "You're lying on the dining room skylight."

So can we 'blame' Duchatelet? In my view yes, no-one forced him to buy the club, and it appears that he didn't do his homework. He's also wasted a LOT of money with poor hiring, and a flawed strategy in a number of ways, all of which has been rehearsed many times on this site.
Sorry I didn't mean its not Roland's fault he has wasted so much money and didn't have a credible plan. I ment that if he went tomorrow unless the new owner was prepared to put in a crazy amount of money we wouldn't be much better off.
Anyone that is prepared to spunk so much money, on a club they have no emotional link with, is probably not fit and proper in the 1st place. This is a problem the EFL now have, do you let an owner you know to be a risk take over a club or do you let it go into liquidation? I belive that was a choice they had to make with Sunderland in the summer.
Not sure I agree, surely the prestige and money from owning a Premier League club is a factor?
Absolutely this. Abramovich was not a Chelsea supporter when he bought them.
Abramovich bought Chelsea when they had qualified for the champions league. The money he threw at Chelsea, that was seen as obscene at the time, is chicken feed compared to what has happened at City.
If your prepared to risk, say for sake of argument 150-200 million, on a club like us, with out any guarantee of even getting to the premier league you need your head testing. Or you have serious cash, if your in the later camp you might as well buy Arsenal.
It'd cost about 1.5-2bn to buy Arsenal these days. If you had that sort of cash it'd be better to look at a club with potential (like the UAE lot with Newcastle) that you can buy for 300-400m and then spend 600m on the team. If they do that Newcastle will be better than Arsenal anyway, so i think people would be crazy to buy Arsenal right now. Ok they're a big club with worldwide support, but worldwide support doesn't win you games.
Would Duchatelet send us into the new Championship season with a league one budget?
From his prespective, losses will be at a min for a season, and with the club being in the championship, he may well believe someone will meet his asking price..
Which worries me as this saga will keep going.
Of course it will. Roly said many moons ago he didn't care which division we played in. Doesn't matter how many football clubs he owns (owned) he just doesn't understand the ethos behind football - he never will. Eventually he will sell us but by then it will be too late.

But with the spending power of teams in the Prem, spending 600mil at Newcastle doesn’t mean you are going to do anything. So you could end up wasting a billion. Look at United, spent all that money and haven’t progressed, in fact gone backwards.
For what it’s worth Wikipedia is saying he wants to sell all his current football interests. Not sure why he’d want to then jump back in with us. Although granted he likes red.
Someone on twitter reporting that Tan's nephew has now bid this morning. No mention in the media though but I am that desperate it's true that I am going to believe it.
He said in his opinion RD will not own the club next season. He said that all three parties want to complete the deal before the end of June so they can prepare for next season.
Anyone else see on NewsNow - same link, different name, Takeover snaps to fan snaps..... obviously corrected 20mins later - did someone type the wrong thing in the wrong headline....??? 🤔

Despite this being bullshit, how much money does Tan's nephew actually have?

600m is an entire team of 50m players. I'd like to bet that if you gave Benitez 600m he'd get them into Europe. Wolves have spent a fraction of that and got 7th.

And that’s the highest they will ever finish spending that amount. With the six clubs above them having literally 2-3x as much to spend or more, Wolves have likely hit their ceiling.
Wolves cheated their way into the PL in the first place. Brilliantly, but they did. Championship clubs are allowed to lose £39M over three years. They lost at least £50M+ just in their last two seasons but got promoted before running afoul of FFP rules thanks to the fact clubs get forever to report their financial results. If they failed to go up last year they would have been hit with transfer embargos and probably a points penalty. It also helps that the owners of Wolves also own a chunk of super agent Mendes’ company (how this is allowed is beyond me) and that he sent Wolves all his personal clients on the cheap as a personal thank you.

Tick tock - tick tock - June o'clock
Would it be more a case of out of the Duchatelet fire and into the frying tan.
Once he put them back in Blue (understandably).
My besties a Bluebird, I will see if she’s heard owt.
A link to Vincent Tan could not go past without posting this link.
