Worth resurrecting this - it's now a matter of public record in Fraser Group's accounts that they sold for ~50m, quoting them: Source We of course know they had to sink more in immediately and as part of the bidding to keep everything afloat, as well as I think it was making a marginal loss...

Fair point well made. Let's try not to let the relevant authorities see this. Delete your post immediately.

If you trust the management team to be able to have seen that first half the same way, I think you can imagine they did give different instructions at half time to adjust, the issue is we conceded within seconds... so that plan to shore up and defend the lead is instantly is out the window. I...

During the iFollow broadcast the angle they showed it looked really bad. The closer up angle replay from pitch level it looks a lot more like a tussle to break free from the defender rather than a deliberate arm in the face. Now perhaps I am biased because I believe Asante just isn't that sort...

Agree - I think we were somewhat willing to gamble vs Norwich because we believed they wouldn't take their chances well - which I think broadly was correct - Rushworth had a lot less difficult saves to make than previous games. But it is a dangerous game to play allowing so much to happen in...

It's always frustrating and confusing when you follow transfer activity day by day. So really you have to remind yourself that signings don't get completed/announced in priority order. We likely do have funds to invest if an opportunity arises on a player that the recruitment team strongly...

Wright's personality is to be pretty guarded and flat regardless of the circumstance, but no doubt he's read and heard a lot of the really personal and in some cases I'm sure there were racist comments about him. He's entitled to not be effusive in the circumstances and just let his performances...

Thats the one! Preston's way more impressive given the circumstances.

Feels to me like one of those games. Preston last ditch defending for most of the game and it paid off. Trying to remember the last team that pulled this off against us - but it can happen and you have to give them credit - they worked extremely hard for it. On another night, Wright walks away...

We're top of the league by 10 points having scored 50 goals... there is nothing much negative you can say? It's the most surface level commentary from all of them. The only inkling of insight was Keane talking vaguely about ownership and how the club is run off the field, but none of them have...

I can't get past all of the bait they blast on social media to ever consume any of the supposed long form bollocks it was derived from. It may well be they're actually smart and balanced in reality, but I can't respect anyone who is playing the bait game. This playbook is of course well trodden...

One thing I'm not enjoying at the moment, is everyone having a take on us when clearly they don't have any knowledge of the league or what the club has been doing in the last decade. It's painful. Everyone has to have a take of course, because we're top and Lampard is involved. If we were to...

Nothing wrong with cross posting, or x-posting(get it!?). To suggest the club should leave twitter because we don't like the person who runs it or some of the people who congregate there is a massive slippery slope. Did we all forget Facebook (#1 on your MAU ranking) and who runs that and what...

Yeah, that's the thing that must eat away at you, you're propping them up. Likely we wouldn't have made it up the leagues without this kind of contribution, as much as it sucks that SISU mismanaged us into that situation.

You're right, some of it didn't sound like $$$ per se, but just time and connections. That said, if I had that sort of money you're mentioning - as you say, 1M invested into the sort of stuff he was talking about would have gone a long way back then, compared to now - and would be nothing to...
