moonraker Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 The issue is whether any putative new owners can e.g. pay Stern John's salary. Or will they seek to make another million or so from player sales? Big difference. Trouble with this approach is why would someone invest alimited amount if they are not going to support the team and a return to better days. Selling players will niot deliver any ROI, stabilty just might and that has to be te key now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 are you posting from the desert links Phil? 46C and 50% humidity today - yeah right. Would be like trying to hold a golf club while in a sauna - effing driver goes further than the ball... I thought it was hot trying to take my tent down last Monday in a field in Somerset, tried to walk to the pool this afternoon, got halfway and decided that was enough exercise for the week and came back for a lie down. It is HORRIBLE outside over here, but at least while indoors I have A/C. Time for tennis and a cool beer methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Talking about tennis, why weren't you carrying Rogers bag out today??? Image Rights problem. I'm apparently contracted to the European Tour/PGA. It's Tiger Woods, Colin Montgomerie or Rory Mcilroy only I'm afraid. They gave me awful stick about being pictured having a chat with Fed Express on CNN a couple of years back when I was supposed to be the exclusive joke teller to Tiger. Hmm now here's an idea - maybe Pinnacle didn't have enough money but they held a dozen debentures at Wimbledon and are hoping Murray makes it through so they can sell those seats at a zillion quid each on Sunday (Oh BTW you do know that the tickets to the Race to Dubai final tournament thingy in November are available on-line and are free if you register early enough?)

DrunkenSaint Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 no no no no no no no no no and a million times no. Lowe, apparently, may have had some say behind MJ bid but that is about as close as it gets. No go to the Priory to get over your Lowe addiction, please, for my sanity and for yours lowe is or was in a group, heard from a very good source its everybodies favs the swiss, do i believe the person who told me this.... no BUT he told me that pinnacle pulled out the day they did way before it became public. Scary stuff tbh if he has anything to do with any group considering a takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
