No melodrama: we've lost our club

[sean_lfc]

Rafa loved Valencia and the city to bits but he still left. That won't stop him from leaving. If he can't get it his way, then he will leave IMO.

That's where the similarities end. They were buying players FOR him, the way some speculative bull**** has come out in the press here, the Americans are 'only' refusing to let him buy any players, which - incidently - has already been negated by other parts of the press, which just goes to show, nobody really knows exactly what the **** is going on. So until something actually happens (ie. January over, no players in) I won't start crying wolf.

So what? And they have a direct camera and audio-link to all the offices at Melwood? Should I be quaking in my boots?

Fair enough, they seem to be the better side of the press, but they're still just that. The press. Nothing more, nothing less.

They are the local press with great links with people in the club. Whether you choose to believe whether they know something or not is of course your perogative.

Desperate days, a clash of cultures, I had a sleepless night last night about our club.

The new owners plan to transfer half the debt for purchasing the club back onto the club (see today's papers). Interest payments will stretch to 30 million a year. That's our annual transfer budget plus some.

No matter, the yanks aren't interested in the club being overly successful. The projected income from media and internet rights means that they'll be milking the club and us for years. Turning a nice profit off our hopes and dreams.

The club is now owned by a neo-con coporate ram raider. Anyone who thinks differently is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Rafa will be gone in the summer. We will not buy the players we need. A well-known Est poster passed me some information last night about Masch. I'll leave him to tell you what it is but it's stomach turning. Don't believe the lies, nothing has changed, Rafa and everything our club stands for is in mortal danger.

I'll leave you with some quotes from Bill Shankly, please compare and contrast with Hick's recent quotes in the Gaurdian.




Now for that facist neo-con ****** hicks:

for ****s sake.
Talk about doom mongering.
Tom I seem to recall you posted a positive thread the other day. Which was a nice change. Can we leave it out with the doom mongering please. Being a realist or not, I don't want to be reading that crap. IF you have any suggestion to remedy the situation we are in, please, be my guest.

I have to agree. I can't stands it. Just had my mate in work spouting the same stuff. One who works for the official site. Told him to bugger off cos he was depressing me.

I said get behind the team. I'm incredibly pessimistic about the owners, there's a difference.This isn't idle speculation.

If you don't want to be reading my "crap" don't. You do have a choice, you can ignore it.

Am on Paxil right now.

what puzzles me about all this stuff is that so called 'intelligent' people are surprised the americans bought as an an 'investment'.

I was never in any doubt about this. We'll be fine just like the Scum as long as football is popular. When it dies and it will then thats the time to start crying. It'll be too late and that goes for all the other foreign owned clubs.

If we wanted to sell out to someone who loved the club then that guy was Morgan. But alas he didn't have sufficient funds. It also makes me laugh that everyman and his dog slagged off old Roman down at the bridge for buying the title yet by recent events thats exactly the type of figure most of us were after on here. Someone with deep enough pockets to buy which ever player the manager required. Its not all about money as Arsenal have proved, not only does Wenger get on with it without moaning to the press ala Rafa the club has resisted selling out to foreign owners. They are proud of their history and in the main get on with it.

Ok Tom, sorry about my mini outburst.
The thing is, I don't see the point in posting this stuff, what does it achieve? nothing really. We are all aware as far as I can see about what may lie instore. I just don't see the need for all the negative posts about, it is all downhill from here boys. Why bother? All it does is make people feel negative.
As I was saying, there is nothing, absolutely nothing we can do, unless we are going to pool together and buy the club off the yanks, which aint going to happen, until then, lets see how things pan out, cos there is nothing we can do.
What have they really done wrong up to now? well apart from not understanding the running of an English football team 100% which they are learning, all we can do is see how it pans out.
Regarding the stadium, can you really blame them for exploring other options? I don't.
