Heard he's handcuffed to a midget in a sex dungeon in Amsterdam Brfcprivy

Makes his debut tonight.

Fuck Mowbray, he's history.

No.

Ta, get you all technical.

Unless he was carrying an injury it was pretty weird. If I'm a United fan I'd be equally concerned that our new £74m striker couldn't score or even look especially useful against a team from League Two, mind.

I've heard bits that have originated from her previously (indirectly, I've never spoke to her in my life). Definitely nothing to do with that BRFC privy account no.

Im aware, I was trying to get to the bottom of whether JBiz doesn't approve of the Benefactor model per se, or simply with ones he doesn't like.

Are we? I thought they had taken out loans and various financial instruments - this figure (who knows how accurate) is not owed by the club.

Administration tomorrow would suit me!

After some thought, I do see now what you are saying. And agreed that all efforts should be on finding new owners. Some would argue that the removal of Pasha could move this along. But I don’t see your solutions working –ie. washing our face, success with minimal funding in this division thus making us more attractive to potential buyers. -The Raos/Pasha would just be delighted that things can run along with no input. -There would still be the impediment that thus far, the Raos have rejected all offers out of hand. -There would still be the impediment that they want to recover their loss The other ways would appear to be: -Promotion, lots of cash and an exit -Adverse publicity in India or anything that makes their lives uncomfortable -Relegation, administration -Some method of the supposed 200m being written off

Well hopefully - what would you say we're more attractive to an investor as £50m as things stand now or £300m if we were promoted? And which figure would the V's be more likely to sell at? I'd say the latter in both cases.

Wouldn’t that put our price up by 300m though - I mean Club value.

Prospective owners will have their idea of the value of the Club dependent on which Division we are in and the owners would presumably have to decide whether to take a hit on any sale and write the remainder of the debt off. The only question is how much. The only way I see it being a realistic proposition is if we were ever promoted.

Doesn't look like he is wanted even in Saudi Arabia...

I wasn’t ever concerned with the “ambition and expertise” from the top, where our previous owners concerned. I also didn’t want the previous owners to sell. I was happy with the trust too. I’m no financial expert, but the way I see it, the more owed to the owners, the more difficult it is for prospective buyers. We can point to philanthropy and suggest that money is invested badly / lost - but we aren’t the ones who have to agree to sell the club. The Rao’s are, and they absent, stubborn, uninterested, and they hire cheap yes men.

Jack had already converted the debt to equity before he passed away.

It's what he said in the LT years ago.

Just out of curiosity - did you feel uncomfortable with the Club technically being £130 m in debt to Jack Walker before his death as well? I know the 2 situations aren't comparable in terms of the quality of ownership but it seems to me there are or were no realistic expectation the respective sums would ever be repaid so as such the fact we owe them money doesn't really concern me.

Who said that they had got excited? And knocking back money is not what he said.

Yeah, but no, but yeah. 😉 (But that's how life is, complicated and good post.)
