Agreed

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

A load of shite on SCR, chiefly from Harty.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

SCR is a c u nt

 

[Stoaty Ferret]

They do shoot themselves in the foot at times, and half an hour as well is not enough time.

Isn’t the first picture, a German (played by Hugh Laurie) on Blackadder II who wants to kill the royal family and is rather good at disguises?

“…yes, I was that sheep” etc.

 

[Harty]

Apologies for only half an hour, but orders from above, would have been prepared to have stayed until 5, despite the result.
Colon 'advised' about future caller screening.
And Repugnant Toad just remind my what you actually do in the grand scheme of things...........oh yes I remember now, just hide behind your keyboard with your very amusing nom de plume.

It is a fans phone in Harty....

When we go away, we get on local fans phone ins and everyone thinks its fun....when a palace fan gets on yours its all hell breaks loose....Brighton fans are very anal sometimes!

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Don't you find the endless banging on about mystery investors a fraction tiresome yourself? I don't doubt it would be nice, but simply coming out with "Dick Knight has to take someone's money ..." is just tedious. Unless you care to name someone ...

Oi Oi

To be fair Repugnant Dick Knight has had to take £4million of Billy Brown and Norman Cook's money in the last 2 years to keep the club afloat, something which was slightly overlooked in the euphoria of the falmer green light.
I'm not so sure about Norman, he and his wife might open a ballroom dancing school, but Mr Brown has serious money and with Falmer on the horizon now might be the time to offer him shares in the Albion in exchange for funds we can spend now, or when the window opens, in the transfer market to keep us in this league until such times as we have our new stadium.

Lots of "mights" in there Harty.

I always though the current policy was that there was a standing offer to take anyone's money provided they don't want over 50 per cent. You'll let us know if you hear anything different, Harty?

Out of interest, do you agree with the "no majority investor" policy? It could put off some potential investors in the club, that's true enough.

But we all know why it's there!

 

[1066gull]

Be honest.

What are the chances of someone wanting to invest in us? We can't just sit here and hope someone will come, we have to make do what we got already.

 

[Tooting Gull]

I think that's a very good point about the 'no major investor' policy.

Laudable - and understandable - though the reasons were for it in the first place, the fact is that normally that is not how big business is conducted in this country.

Those investing big money want a say, or a stake, or normally both. Running a football club has also always had at least a slight element of ego attached to it, being the leader, it was ever thus. And not all chairmen/directors are villains.

We may be in danger of actually cutting our own throats over this policy by seeing bogeymen everywhere, when the reality could be that normal checks/interviews with potential board members may be enough.

Tricky one, two very valid points of view. On balance I think it could be an idea to ease the wording. Doubtless I'll now be accused of wanting Archer back.

 

[Simster]

Not tricky at all Tooting - that 50% clause is there for a reason. The occasion investor being put off by this clause is a price well worth paying for the protection against unscrupulous potential asset stripping board members,
