Our Rivals

[Les Beeavinu]

... haven't sold Lee Trundle, Pawel Abbott, Freddy Eastwood, Greg Halford or Neil Danns.

Trouble with Brentford is that we're all over the bloody news all the time.

[Les Beeavinu]

I understand why we sold. I had hoped that someone would also relieve some of our rivals of their players. Just hasn't happened unfortunately.

Swansea are in a shocking run at the moment

Swansea are in a shocking run at the moment

And they've just lost 2-1 at home to 10-man Gillingham :bound:
Some good news at last today!

Abbott didn't play against us

He did play against us at the Galpharm

 

[Westlad]

yeah and two of them, Huddersfield and (probably)Colchester avoid premiership teams on their route to playing chelsea. Whilst have an excellent record in the cup yet the biggest team we will have played is..Charlton. And I'm not going to start on the TV *****.

Yes we are very unlucky as a club.

Scored a good goal that day. C*nt!

I think you will find that a/ we are well known as a club whose mentality, in the past at least, has been that of a selling club, and also who b/ are right now totally pink lint and not going to turn down half a bar if its offered. And especially when it represents a 10,000% return on investment.

Look at Swansea: new ground, new money, 12,000 min. every game - they dont look like they need the money. We do. Especially with, as you say, the PR we are getting right now. Yes it is good in some respects, but with Greg Dyke telling all and sundry that we have a £8m debt and his first priority is to clear it.... I am not blaming him, please understand, but it is hardly surprising that the vultures begin to circle. Personally I am amazed, as i have said elsewhere, that we got away so lightly. Sam, Tabb, Turner and even Kevo are still with us. To be honest, the biggest gamble of all was Blues buying DJ. Really surprised Turner did not go, and am right now counting our remaining blessings.

we are 9 million in debt we have just raised 500k only 8.5 million to go so in my judgement that means we will be a selling club for at least another 40 years.
When does it all stop??????????????????????

Yeah, i know, and i think you - very rightly - posted elsewhere that for all the difference there is between being £9m in debt and being £8.5m in debt, whats the point. Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic etc. But maybe the 'new' investors want to see some positive moves toward solvency, maybe as part of the conditions of their loans. Just the servicing of a £500k debt must be a good £50k a year, and thats over £4000 a month of the outgoings, and when we are struggling to pay wages thats somebodys salary for the month.

I dont know all that goes on and your point is very valid Dangerous, but i think that we have to take every opportunity we can get. If we get a win against Charlton - a big if, i know - but if we did, that would see a good £500k from the cup too, and all of a sudden it may make sense.

selling DJ might mean we don't lose ground by another 10 pts
