A bit of fat to chew on

From Sela...

I don't write much on social media about the club as you know. Once in a while I comment on football and fans but having read some comments on Twitter and SUFC fan forums I feel the need to address the fans.Our 2 owners KM and the Prince had very positive meetings in Riyadh last week. They/we felt that we needed local influence in the board and that's why David and Martin were chosen. I am confident they will add value to the club on and off the field. Now good news for the fans who like us, James,Prince and I are here to stay. Rumors stating that we will abandon the club are false. Those who won't like us, I invite you to join us until May to make a run for promotion. We have a solid board and the right manager with an amazing reputation, we are al we've got for each other. Criticism helps but negativity doesn't. See you all very soon at the home of football.

IMO there is no point in having local influence if that is not going to take us up. We have had far too many years, when things were decided by chairmen who knew fuck all about off the field matters. May I recommend the books by the Secret Footballer to all. A fantastic read and an eye opener Mr McCabe. You could have saved shit loads of money, if only you had had the right advice.
 

We need an arse kicking no nonsense hard headed proven twat to kick and bang heads together, tell players they are useless wage thieving bastards not more feckin businessmen

Any suggestions?
 
If McCabe does not want to invest any money he should put all his efforts into finding a buyer for his half of the club. We need to find someone with the money and commitment to take the club forward. We are in arguably the worst period of our entire history yet McCabe seems content to just let things drift along.
Km, probably thinks, been there, done that.

"... May I recommend the books by the Secret Footballer to all...."

Wasn't the Secret Footballer rumoured to be Dave Kitson, who got a job at SUFC by being a neighbour or mate of Scott McCabe?
 
As we are currently as shit as we've been for a long while, with fk all happening, especially on this rumour board, here's a post from a long time BM poster

As usual, he signs off with "don't shoot the messenger"

I take it all with a pinch of salt, but would it surprise anyone the way things are going with our club?



"Baxter is 100% finished and will be sold.

Basham, Done and Reed are the only ones NOT for sale. Bids considered for Adams.

HRH wants to pump more money in in January (£10m ish). He approached KM to match it - refused. Toys are out the pram and the relationship is strained and the investment is to be retracted. Phipps next to leave.

Possibility that the Chinese guys who have invested into the area around BL may be interested in investing into the club. MAY be interested.

Don't shoot the messenger."

Haven't read all the thread, so apologies if this has been discussed already, if McCabe has refused to match HRH, what is McCabe's master plan to get us out of this division? We've spent 10 years now under McCabe going backwards, think it's time for him to step aside and get someone in with new ideas and drive to take the club forward.

That would be great can you suggest a sugar daddy they don't grow on trees
 
Anyone got a clue?

RS tonight, caller said something major to happen in Jan, but the usual couldn't reveal source or say what etc

If there is sumat in this, I can only assume it won't be good news. We just don't do good news these days

Downloaded all four on Kindle The latest is IMO the best of the lot, a real eye opener...Cheap as chips real value.

Surely the only thing that can happen in January is transfers? Can't think why any other news would be tied to that particular month?

Sounds like a good idea, I need some new kindle books.

Probably. Done, Brayford, Reed, anybody with a modicum of talent will be flogged.

Unless we're getting 'game changing investment'? :rolleyes:

'Big Changes and not necessarily in our favour.

In Fact it's going to screw us reyt and what we've got used to over the last 10 years will continue bit in a far worse state.

I wouldn't get comfy with your HOME seat either.....'

From a poster on BM who I talked to on Sunday at half time, on a thread called 'Radical changes at the Lane'. He's a sound bloke who knows quite a few people connected to the club and is quite involved himself. He's told me what he means by this, but I won't repeat what he said as it's not my place and I don't know the implications of repeating it.

All I'll say is that personally, I really really really can't see it happening. At least not to the extremity of his description.

Don't tell me we are selling BDTBL and moving to a new ground on an industrial area on the outskirts of town......

Accrington Stanley type investment, well it's near Liverpool!

You can't throw aspersions around in the first part of your post about this big thing you've heard from someone three times removed then say but I can't repeat it. No doubt you'll be back when "something" happens and say that's what I knew (ITK). Either have a shit or get off the pot, this type of post belongs on BM under the name E89 :mad:

Outskirts of Saudi more like so HRH can go the home games.

....not my place to repeat, but I don't believe what I've heard.
Then it's not your place to suggest you know what's planned, it's called keeping a secret.

I can actually, because I don't know the implications of repeating it as I've said. Likewise, it could all be the nonsense which I hope it to be and I'll look a tit for spreading bullshit. Feel free to trawl back through my back catalogue of posts on here, BM and Twitter...I have never and will never claim to be 'ITK', because I'm not.

If you can't repeat it, explain it or tell if it's true just keep it to yourself rather than doom saying woe woe and thrice woe (if it's true).

I hear all sorts of nonsense like we're merging with the pigs and having a mega stadium at Don Valley but wouldn't de large I can't repeat them unless I could justify a modicum of certainty.

Read post #73. Someone on RS has said something is going to happen in January, as has the person I've spoken to. The person I've spoken to has no wish to divulge what they've heard/what they believe, as shown by their post, and I have no intention of doing it for them.

It's all rumours. You're on a rumour board. If you never say owt without backing up with sources and the like then that's your prerogative, but a poster asked if anyone else has any idea what the caller is on about and I'm just saying that I've heard something.

Accept this is a rumour board, so what's your rumour? Saying there's a rumour that only you know about and can't repeat isn't a rumour, it's you telling us you have a secret. I want hard factual rumours to chew over and debate.
Throw us a figgin carrot here TBJ, it's obviously mega and you're worried by it so give us a flavour of the rumour you're not sharing.
 
Throw us a figgin carrot here

Fine, you win.
