I noticed Recon had disappeared from the presser background boards this morning

The whole takeover from day one appeared to be a way of him stepping aside and being eased out quietly and diplomatically over a short period of time without shoving him through the exit door too quickly so he could retain some pride and respect. I think he had the best of intentions but just wasn't up to running a football club. I shudder to think exactly how bad things could have got on and off the pitch without the takeover. Aside from our new owners clearly being rich I was delighted they also had experience of running a sports team.

£47m for a club he brought to the very brink. Any one of us could have done what he did, spend the parachute payments and sell off every last drop of income for an all or nothing throw of the dice. Absolutely no thought went in to anything he did, basically kid on a computer game kind of stuff. He's lucky to get a penny.

Although it came across cack handedly in my post I fully concur with this sentiment.  Remember ‘I’m not a dollar billionaire.’  Remember the Daily Mail journalist that was shown that bank draft for £50m or whatever it was.  RMB probably.

Indeed. I agree that he had the best of intentions and the fact that he sorted the shitstorm he'd created within a matter of weeks and to the extent that he did (the new owners) I'll always be fond of him.

How touchingly naive.

He blagged his way into the Villa with borrowed money that he to pay back very quickly.

The Recon logos had disappeared from the wall behind Bruce at this morning’s press conference having still been there last week.

Yep, he could not wait to be rid of us in the end.
Took a huge hit on the price having gone the Austerity route in an attempt to stop hemmorrhaging  cash.
So he came, spunked a load, shot his bolt and squirted off a few hundred million lighter.

I like to think that Tony was (as he said at the time) looking for minority investment partners.

It was going really well. He'd sold 27% to some Egyptian geezer and 27% to a Yank in a dodgy suit.

Tony's still got 45% so he's the still the proud chairman and big cheese ... oh bugger.

He doesn't. Additional shares have been issued so his percentage has been devalued.
