Tom Fox's meeting with Supporters

[bertlambshank]

He is building a stable for Randy's unicorn.

Just caught up with this thread and what I took was this... I don't have a clue when to use query, enquiry and inquiry. F**k Google I'm not checking.

anyone with any decent money would have bought it by now and wouldn't be hanging around for the price to drop like its a black Friday bargain

we could be in deeper shit if someone buys the club because it was at a bargain basement price and has nothing to invest in the team only by borrowing even more cash against the club asset

 

That was my point yesterday when people reckons he couldn't give a shit. I'm sure he could part with it easily enough. Selling to the right person is the main thing.

not really, the Leveraged Buyers can not get near the asking price based on current valuation, so he has not had that choice.

How do you know that for a fact? How do you know that they met the asking price but needed to borrow it? Doug turned down offers because of that. Besides, no-one really knows what the asking price is, it's all speculation.

i work in investment banking, lots of people know what the asking price is, they just don't happen to live in ClampyLand.

Refilling the pie display at the Edward Jones cafeteria does qualify you as working in investment banking.

Good to see that you are still having to resort to sneering. Nothing changes. The same boring people slagging everyone else off.

If it bothers you so much why did you come back? Are you going to be just as bitter at everything again?

Just thought I would see what I had been missing.
Glad to see that you eventually joined the Lambert Out club after mysteriously defending him for so long.

I sometimes wonder how people like Tom Fox manage to dress themselves in the morning.

"The American acknowledged the fact that the club are bottom of the league but has pointed out that financially at least, progress is being made.

He told BBC WM: "It's easy to look just at the table.

"It's clearly not where went to be and it's not good enough. We live and die by the results.

"But I look at everything. We've generated more revenue on both our shirt and kit deals and in our ability to control costs. We're making progress there.

"Bringing (director of recruiting) Paddy Reilly back to the club before I came in was something (owner) Randy Lerner thought was important.

"We're developing a network of scouts which the club have never had before to look into European football markets and I was pleased that we were able to attract someone of (sporting director) Hendrik Almstadt's quality from a great club like Arsenal."

The bloke is quite clearly an idiot.  Wittering on about "just looking at the league table" and then how things are improving financially.  Well, I know he's American and used to looking at the other end of the table with Arsenal, but we have relegation over here, and that's going to make the financial side of things even less rosy than they are now.

And the scouting model they've introduced has been a rip-roaring success, but I notice he was at pains to blame that on Lerner.

Two posts in after a year and half absence and you've taken the opportunity to have a pop at people. How pointless.

I would have to agree.

If you're here just to take shots at other posters, then please, don't bother.

With all respect Ger, what is it to do with Clampy? He's the one that has just called someone pointless, think if you actually have taken a break away from this website (which I have) you still find the same people that jump on anyone with a different opinion; such as TV and Clampy shouldn't that rule also apply to them?

It's to do with me because he quoted me in his first post back after over a year and a half which was all a bit unnecessary. Why not come back on make a comment on today's game or the transfer thread? And I didn't call him pointless, I called the post pointless.

I am so disappointed.  I started skim reading the last few pages and saw a reference to an investment banker and thought we had been sold...Darn it.

Incidentally Risso spot on as usual.  The statement from Fox regarding revenues growing seems to ignore the halving of the same when in the Championship.  He reminds me of Comical Ali at the top of the hotel in Baghdad claiming the Iraqis were rising up for a spectacular victory whilst buildings behind him were being raised to the ground.

One rule for one and one rule for another is it?

Nope. The same rules apply to everybody.

It's like the Aston Villa dressing room on here sometimes.  Let's all stick together.

So when you come back you can only post on certain threads. Bugger that because if I hadn't posted on this thread; the subject of the thread, wouldn't have the information from the Fox meeting; in fact it would of been put away in the GM; but thanks to me, with it being xmas and all, it wasn't it was posted in here think that's my good contribution to this website for the year, talking of GM hasn't yours run out so it seems according to the little thing under your avatar? Maybe he's at the game today (doesn't Jon and his wife go to every game (bless them)) so no need to really post on a pre match thread is there? And more so, calling someones post pointless isn't that basically calling them pointless?

Please don't tell us how to run this site, and self-praise is no praise at all.
