  • I thought the rules prevented owners sponsoring their own clubs to get around FFP or at least City and PSG got questioned on it.

    Still expect some "friends of friends"  company name to appear on the shirts.
  • Our Injury situation cannot be coincidental, I believe that there is clearly something in the water and maybe Roland was onto something when he took away bottled water.

    Does anyone know what The Independent's view on the takeover is?

  • Just pleased it’s all done! We move forward now, get behind the new owners and at @JamesSeed suggests we judge them on their actions.
    Let’s hope they’re our route back to stability and success.
  • The Indi sent sure
    The Mail said "fec k The Belgians"
     The Guardian want a "people's vote"

    What this thread really needs is a few more posts about the need to give ESI a chance. It's the only hope we have of preventing the massive rebellion that is clearly brewing.
    I’m afraid I can’t help you there .

    I’m not hanging about to judge them on what they do, I’m pre empting that they’ll be disastrous owners following in the recently established tradition of Charlton AC (After Curbs) 
    I can see through all the smarmy soundbites of waffle that everyone wants to hear and I’m not fooling for it .
    My boycott starts now , I’m not going to any FA Cup home matches this season in January 
    Well I hope you'll be pleased with yourself when they read your post and put the club back up for sale, because that's how it works. 
    Well I’ve been talking of relegation for a while so if that happens I’ll take the blame for that as well .
    Stay positive we’re going up (for sale)

    they think its good but are concerned at the loss of our international scouting guru 
    I guess as he worked from his bedroom, he was used as  Blanket cover.

  • Wakey, Wakey people. If Taylor and Bonne aren't fit this month we WILL be in the bottom 3 by February 1st unless 2 strikers of Championship quality are fit and up to speed and leading CAFC front line.
    Positive action and being pro active breeds positivity not just " oh everything will be alright because that nasty man Duchatelet has gone" 
    I still want Steve Gallen to be discerning like making sure that new permanent and loanees don't have disabled stickers on their car window screens. Unless football becomes like Ice skating and the performances are subjective, it's strikers that score regularly that win matches and as spirited as the young midfield and forwards were against Swansea, 5.9 on the old scoreboard doesn't win football matches. ( Going on the scoring system when Torville and Dean were getting 6's) 
    Whilst things will hopefully change for the better, there is no guarantee new signings will turn things around.

    Hopefully we can return to displays like Fulham away and the first half against Forest, then I'd like to think it would be sufficient for us to stay up.

    Gallen and Bowyer surely had a list of players for the new board, one totally different to the old ownership.
  • No player has ever scored a goal from a list.
  • If ESI do the right things both actual and PR there won’t be any issue. Right now there seems to be a bit of a news vacuum which needs sorting. I don’t agree we should ever stop scrutinising what owners do with our club, but good comms will help with that.

    ??

    In what way?
    Bearing in mind it's been just over 48hrs
  • TTnimer, comes as across as a “normal “ bloke who lives in a far from normal world , that must be a bonus.

    And it's Duchatelet's fault that we only have Taylor and Bonne.
  • Interesting that HE T. Nimer accepted me as a contact on LinkedIn a few weeks ago, yesterday he posted the takeover on his profile. Today I've been reading just some of the many responses and they are from across the globe and from high level appointments in companies. However 2 stood out, a football agency from Uruguay and Brazil giving a contact number for potential players and another from Africa covering the entire continent again giving contact numbers if interested in African players. HE T. Nimer seems to be have stirred some of his LinkedIn contacts that's for sure!
    Oh, ffs Nurse hes out of bed again. ;)

    This is a result of 8? years of concern by the fans.

    ESI will do wonders for themselves if we can trust them, hopefully that will start with an immediate announcement that they own EVERYTHING.

    Then onwards and upwards.

Roland Out Forever!
