Do you actually bother to look at personnel turnover at relegated clubs? Say, Burnley this year.

You think the international level shitcunts are going to want to play at Rotherham? You think some of those shitcunts might have relegation clauses in their contract. Still we can always re-sign Japhet Tanganga. He’s club-trained, you know.
I don’t think they would want to play there and I also doubt they have relegation clauses. I am more terrified of another ten years of Levy, vs a VDV transfer request
 
vs a VDV transfer request
Yeah, because that’s all relegation would entail — a VDV transfer request.

It’s not like more than 40% of teams that are promoted to the Prem are immediately relegated again. And I’m sure if we’re relegated then we’re going to get altruistic new owners with endless pockets rather than VC vultures looking for distressed assets. After all, that’s what all owners are all about….
 
I'm glad I wasn't aware of this thread before today. The Fuck Off option should have been option 1, with option 2 being 'And When You Have Finished Fucking Off, Fuck Off Some More', and then option 3 should have been ' And Then Keep Fucking Off Until I Tell You To Stop'.
I started the thread and voted Fuck Off myself :harrylol:

Pretty sure this was after losing the chav cunts again and watching another season go down the drain. At 43 years of age I now have the the maturity to admit that I have work to do on myself in terms of reacting to losing.

I don’t want new owners although it would be nice, I want Levy out of the club as CEO
 
Thread is nonsensical, anyway - WTF would ENIC sell the asset at its rock bottom value? At minimum they'd stay to rebuild the club to top 6 level then look to offload because they don't want to risk their capital again.

The best football of my life was when I first started watching Tottenham in the old second division 1977-78.

Big crowds for home games and a massive away support.

I soon realised nothing was easy with Spurs as we managed promotion on the last game of the season.

The deal is:

We go down, and in exchange we get Levy gone, ENIC gone, and we get ownership who are present and genuinely want to compete for the league and champion's league year in and year out, will organize the board and management properly, will back managers and spend what it takes, etc?

I think that's a bargain.
 
Dumbest topic ever. Some poor sods can’t appreciate when they have a good thing
Careful. You're about to be attacked by those who think no-one can find joy in the club they love because we haven't won trophies recently.

Until we win a trophy the club is to be moaned and whinged about incessantly. All players are crap. The manager is crap. Owners crap. Food crap. Club font is crap. When we lose, we're super crap. When we win, the opposition is crap.

You get the gist.

To be honest I prefer to continue paying the highest ticket prices in the world whilst the ownership continuing with their faux, feigned interest in sporting achievement safely in the 4th to 10th PL position perpetually, for evermore

If we are really lucky, the clubs valuation might exceed 10BN and we could just get the wage to revenue below 30% if we are really brave - that’s what it’s about. Frugality, and retail strategy that’s makes Mike Ashley and Phillip Green envious

I will cross my fingers and legs that the Goons don’t won’t the league and City make some signings and turn it around - Citeh Citeh ! I can ‘FEEL THE GLORY’ for sure

Except that wasn't what 'the deal' was laid out to be.
 
How so?

It was built on a combo of club generated revenue and finance bonds (of which any new owner will inherit the same repayment plan we are currently under).

Asking price would be perceived asset value minus finance bonds still owed. (eg 3bn - 500m = 2.5bn)
That's true, but how many groups can put that kind of money together?
