Please!

Spare a thought for Senior Teabag. He has been squeezed relentlessly this year.

 

[BobbyBoy]

And has gone about smartly diversifying the shareholders register, at least at CFG level.

Both of are approaching from the angle that he's a smart guy with the best of intentions. Most owners in football are the opposite.

Sadly, you may be right. Portsmouth, Luton, Brighton, Bury to name a few.

The only reason FFP will be relaxed is so the likes of Madrid can take the Mbappe's of this world on the never never. And not fall foul of the rules they strangled everyone else with.

If the money runs out we just go back to being like Everton and Villa.

Exactly. People think we give a fuck. We don't as we just get pissed good or bad. The only club to ever drink Wembley dry and be banned by Millwall for being too violent. I cry with honour.

 

[Academica]

So no regulation because we happen to be rich at the moment.

Shortsighted enough. Football as an industry needs regulation, badly. Its crooked and corrupt, root and branch. Head to toe.

But that's ok, City have a few Bob

Regulation for a level playing field may be ok, regulation made by the few to benefit the few is never ok.

There's the Red Bull teams, plus the Pozzo family own Udinese and Watford. There's probably other examples too.

Thanks. Forgot about the Red Bull group. It is probably better for us that we are not the only one with multiple clubs in one portfolio. Perhaps this is the way football will now go.

Has anyone checked on Senor Tebas? We don't want him doing anything foolish.




Do we?

 

[SilvaisSkyBlue]

Argue with yourself all your want pal.

We are part of a football group. The flagship. If and when the money goes it will need unravelling. Are you deluded enough to think the money is here forever?

Good that you use the word deluded, if and when the owners sell, I am guessing that because we are such a well run club with no debt issues, with a period of success of more than a decade and growing by the season, you never know some other owner might actually want to buy that successful club and that’s how successful well run businesses continue.

I know this may be a shock for you, other owners would want our successful ‘shit show’, but you go back to your well thought out vision of when it all goes tits up.

What would they be buying? All the clubs? Melbourne, Mumbai, New York?

Try not to be so sensitive. When that needs unraveling it will be an unadulterated shit show
