RBS realise Broughton has been absolutely useless

[coop]

You tease, Coop!

 

Not teasing mate.

 

RBS if you remember it was reported gave Hicks and Gillett a 6 month extension to find a buyer and under the proviso of this Broughton was appointed to oversee the process.

 

The 6 months is up i think on the 15 of October ergo Broughton's time is up.

[PaulMcC]

So he failed but Hicks and Gillett will probably still get to keep us through some really dodgy loan from elsewhere?

[coop]

I think Gillett is finished to be honest with his money problems but i wouldn't be surprised at all to see another investor come in and buy Gillett's share as well as a small percentage of Hicks.

[sir roger]

And it was all going so well for him at BA

Hicks will probably hang aroung, put in no money and get a big slice of all profits then.

 

Can't see many investors willing to put in money while Hicks is still here.

I can mate.

 

There is money to be made off the club if it wasn't for the debt.

 

There is a new TV deal in the pipeline which will include internet rights, this alone will be worth more cash to the clubs.

 

Brand loyalty is still strong at the club and even in the protest video to get the yanks out there is a kid with an away shirt on.

 

Obviously if the new investor has the financial wealth to get the stadium built then there is even more cash to be made.

I know - you always follow through! Thanks for the info on the 15th, though - it would have answered queries on the 6th, 15th, and 12th-of-never debates

[a stoner]

I still want to hang onto the belief that the players have been doing shit all on the pitch to devalue the club so noone in their right mind will buy us forcing RBS to call in the debt, thus ensuring cunt and fuckface lose EVERYTHING. We are then owned by RBS who are only interested in making back their money and the £60M failure to pay penalty making the club worth £300M. New buyers, who have probably been waiting in the wings for this to happen, come in and buy the club for the super low price of £300M leaving enough in the kitty for a nice shiny new stadium and a huge kitty for the manager.

The players then go out and start playing football, we start winning, climb the table to somewhere around 5th and are hailed as one of the tightest teams we have had.

 

Then dawn breaks, I wake and reality sets back in. BUT we can all dream as at the moment we only have our dreams.

[Nathanzx]

In light of recent developments it seems I owe Broughton an apology.

 

Perhaps he considered resigning earlier on in the day as a gesture of solidarity with Purslow and Ayres to expose the complete fuckpig that is Tom Hicks....but now they seem to have gone with a frankly unprecedented official website release in terms of how it conveys the level of internal chaos at the club.

 

Hicks truly would rape any of our grandmothers to get an extra dollar on the club sale, I am astounded we have all been so civil with him up to now and have not gone beyond civil protests and crude name-calling.

[sh#t waffle]

If Broughton only had a six month contract, would it be RBS that extended his time here, or would Gillett and Hicks have to agree? Because, I'd have to say, if it's the latter I would say it's unlikely.

Fair play to you for apologising.

[WaltonRed]

There's been a coup

[kelster]

I have no idea why Broughton has the ire of some people. I believe he has been strung along as much as anyone by G&H. There is no way he could have sold the club as we are practically unsellable given that anyone interested will only pay current market value rather than the market value + profit that the carpet baggers want.

[DJLJ]

Fair play to you for apologising.

 

I agree, however the post from the off was misguided to say the least. So much going on at our club and people are going after Purslow, Broughton and Ayres, when the other 2 are the ones that needs targetting,

[Randy Marsh]

Massive IF, but IF the Yanks are forced out through the actions of our UK based board then Broughton, Purlsow and Ayre have played a blinder here and they deserve great credit.

[withnail71]

so Broughton is staying......

[TommyW]

Word of warning, just because he has sold the club doesn't mean it's in our best interests, let's wait and see before proclaiming him a hero... God forbid we have a repeat of the 'Thanks DM' fiasco

[King Emlyn]

Yep, you gotta admit when you're wrong, whatever happens from here well done Broughton Ayres and Purslow for fighting these bastards.

I thought this re Nando since the season started.

Cos he would know he would be next out the door to meet the £40mill.

Probably bollocks....

[llego]

I sincerely thank the LFC board.

[redperil]

If and its a big if nesv are good owners then i think cecil,broughton and ayres deserve credit,especially when they were seen as enemies by some(god knows what for as we have known sweet fa about the sale process}.dont expect a stadium anytime soon though,

[Barnesey]

I cannot imagine NESVs business plan will be very different from H&G; I just hope they are in a position to fund it.

 

If I am right a new stadium will be very much on the cards

Keys to the City to all of them. IF.

[el graco]

He's played a blinder if this comes to completion.Deserves a knighthood just for getting them by the short and curly's alone.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Broughton, Purslow and *grits teeth* Ayre have given their all to save the football club. I have serious doubts about this Red Sox bid but I can honestly say that I believe those three have done their best for the club.
