If we get promoted, we will be above them one second later.

Still below Arsenal and AFC Bournemouth, though. 😡

Who knows. If they did it would significantly reduce the price if they ever wanted to sell us so I'd be surprised.

Would they not be able to 'buy' it back ahead of such a sale?

They would but what would be the point? Plus they'd probably end up with a huge tax bill.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but if they made the stadium an asset of the club again before a sale then would that not reinflate the asking price?

It would, but then what would be the point in taking it out of the club in the first place if that was what they were going to do?

And the sale back to the club would trigger a tax liability on them which could be avoided if they leave the ground in the club in the first place.

I've let myself down, and I'll be disappointed when I see it again. There were mitigating circumstances in that I was using my left hand. I was holding a crumpet in my right hand and I'm all right hand. It's always been my weakness as a poster. It's why I never got the recognition I deserved with a call-up to BTL at the Guardian, or writing into podcasts. I did get an offer once to represent TBAR but my heart wouldn't have been in it. You want to post at the top level really.

A poster with your experience should never be making mistakes like that, SE. The crumpet should be in the left hand! I'd keep you behind after work for extra training.

Trust me, fbrai, nobody's hurting more than me. I just need to keep my head down and start proving people wrong, which is what it's all about, which in itself is a terrible way to live a life when you think about it.

A word from my manager: "ah hink SE's quote was excellent. Some eh the punctuation wis world class, it wis. Aye, it's no purfict, but you show me a quote thut is. If he quotes like that nixt post there'll be no complaints from me."

Paul Lambert is your manager!? That explains it all to be fair.

You go again, SE. You go again.

In the not too distant past, having a bit of crumpet in your right hand to excuse epic quote failure would have elicited an entirely different range of responses.

You can always spot a robot.  The real SE has been to Birmingham enough times and had social intercourse with those of us from the Eternit City never to use the 'C' word.   It is a pikelet he would have had in his right hand.

Eternit is the trade name for asbestos sheeting.

They're two different things.

Crumpet is baked in a ring whereas a pikelet is more of a free shape. The dough isn't as thick in a pikelet.

This is the first time I've ever heard of pikelets. What a day for it all to go wrong.
