was the 500,000 worth it parry, you kept your job for just another year.
If you figure in his salary too, it's £800 000 for a year's work. Not bad if you can get it.

I find the greed of some people (well moores and parry) who profess to be fans staggering, I can hand on heart say if I were in moores/parry's position and I had to hand over the reigns to someone else I would look first and foremost at who would take the club forwards I would certainly do a background check, I wont be hyrocrite I would want to be set up for life for my shares but I would choose the best owner for the job even if the worse suiter was offering far more.

Which is why the refinancing was opposed and stalled so much this time despite the two owners being in favour of it and the Life President and Chief Executive not being in favour of it.

I highly doubt Moores will be anywhere near the club in the near future whether under Hicks or DIC. DIC will likely have Staveley come in after the part she's being playing, and Hicks will want any opposition out anyway, i.e. Moores and Parry.

All the focus is on Hicks, but George Gillett is one greedy little fucking cunt.

Yep. Most of this has to do with Gillett. He wants out, has been offered a sheload of cash and still hasn't sold. Hicks is the one that is trying to continue with what they had planned to do, in his own special (needs) way.

Hicks is an outspoken cunt and little George is a silent cunt.

They are both cunts.

Is it like having a choice of getting bitten by a small black mamba or a large black mamba.

I thought they were dildos. Or possibly condoms. Certainly something in the sex related arena.

Re: DIC, final offer?
Ignoring all the shite of whether offers have been made officially, verbally, hinted at or just mentioned on a smoke break, Gillett knows damn well that he can go now for £40m up front and another £40m in four years.

He's probably pretending to be ill at home so he doesn't have to face his staff at his offices in Booth Creek Management.

Booth Creek Management Corp
1000 South Frontage Road West, Suite 100
Vail, Colorado 81657
Fax: (970) 479-0291
Tel: (970) 476-4030

It's time he took the money and left. I can't think of any reason whatsoever for him to reject that kind of offer.

The papers are doing my head in, none of them are consistent with their stories. Hicks to buy all the shares, Hicks to sell some of his shares, Hicks to buy 1%. Especially the guardian, shower of shite.

Dont read them. It messes with your head. best not to listen to posters with sources too as they dont seem to be able to make their mind up either. I think its far from finsihed and no one really knows how its going to turn out.

Echo's just as bad at the moment. I look to that for a ray of light in all this crap, but it seems to be a rehash of the morning nationals
