The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Ron Manager]

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I want Lambert out by September because that'll mean we're doing badly. howeevr, if it does start badly i hope the situation isn't left to drift. I also hope that the new manager isn't apponted from within.

I suspect the replacement is already 'within'

Yes I believe it will be Nathan Baker!

One bonus of going down , we would get an owner quick as Randy will lose £100 mil of the price straight away.Championship clubs seem to have an easier time finding buyers than us , due to the cheaper price I imagine.

Incidentally when are the Marcron and Dafabet deals up for renew ..I'm sure we have manufacturers and sponsors just bagging down the door to be involved with us .

Yeah but the worry is that you get an owner like Leeds seem to have, or our beloved neighbours Small Heath.

I will add a bit more realism than optimism.   100 years ago today a chain of events was started well at least accelerated that lead to the deaths of 716,000 soldiers. Let's just settle for 4th bottom and be grateful.

There is no bonus in getting relegated. There is No modern day Graham Taylor to bring us back from oblivion.

We could end up with some right bandit asset strippers.

[brian green]

Rob, I would go so far as to say if we go down we will be asset stripped by bandits.

Cowboys don't tend to have £150 million plus to spend on a side in the first place to get to the asset stripping stage.

[john e]

cowboys do buy football clubs that they cant afford though, the league is full of clubs where the owners have begged and borrowed to raise the funds to buy certain clubs then expect the revenue coming into the club to pay the debt for them

bit like Buy-to Let only with for football clubs,  theres some right shysters out there and no mistake

[Toronto Villa]

Maybe the reason we haven't been sold yet is that Randy doesn't want to sell to cowboys. I imagine in selling a football club you'll get all types of chancers showing an interest and he's turned down offers from those he feels doesn't have a long term interest in the club.

I would love to know what our projected income and expenditure is for the coming season.

Turnover or income will be in the £100-£120 million bracket with the new TV deal and expenditure probably not far behind it due to FFP. Happy to help.....

Is that a wild guess, an educated guess or fact?

Educated guess looking at the last set of accounts and adding in a bit for the new TV deal. I've also assumed if we do make any signings they'll come from income and not be bankrolled by Lerner as previously.

Can we now add w ibble  to the poll?
