Gold, Sullivan and Brady

[Give it to Ron]

Interesting comment on SSN just now that Gold was looking to invest in a club south of Watford...he mentioned West Ham, Brighton and Southampton.

Where the heck was he 12 months ago when we were desperate....whatever anyone says Brady is decent at her job.

No thanks now though think we are more than happy with what we have.

[benjii]

They can sod off, thank you.

[krissyboy31]

They'd have that bit of football experience that Nic Cortese currently doesn't,

[benjii]

True, but Oldknow is the operations executive and has a history in football.

 

Gold and Sullivan would presumably want some sort of equity investment and personally I am happy with Herr Liebherr and Herr Liebherr alone at the moment when it comes to ownership!

[alpine_saint]

Call me prudish if you will, but I'd rather have a bloke owning the club who makes heavy machinery than one who makes dildos.

[Weston Saint]

For a while prior to the takeover I expected Sullivan to purchase the Stadium and rent it back to those who did not have enough money to purchase the whole club! It was a strong rumour.

Judging by the size of some of the dildos you see nowadays (so i'm reliably informed), they fall into the category of heavy machinery.

That is stretching it a bit then

Wasn't Sullivan involved with Birmingham or he did he pack it in a while ago?

[benjii]

I remember when you could fit a dildo in your pocket and still have room for a yo-yo and a bag of chocolate mice.

[Weston Saint]

Yes he was still involved so could not buy the club. However a property deal for the stadium did not break any rules.

Really?

 

I'm amazed if there are no rules preventing that. It's clearly a massive conflict of interest.

[Thedelldays]

I think he mentioned us (with others) as examples showing that there are plenty I clubs south of Watford.

[Crab Lungs]

Um, successfully advising experts on sports purchases for a long duration of his career should count for something....

[krissyboy31]

He was probably planning his exit strategy at the time. Remember this Yeong takeover has been going on for over a year now. Could well have been planning a takeover once his ties with Brum were severed.

Yes I'm not knocking it but at the moment the boardroom consists of 2 people (3, if you include Teflon). Cortese wants to add at least another one in the guise of a Sporting Director but surely someone with Gold or Brady's experience would be a beneficial and possibly preferable appointment?

[saint_stevo]

i would smash brady though

 

 

And i swear that's Leon in front of her....

[EastleighSoulBoy]

But don't both products make the earth move?

[Clifford Nelson]

They'd have that bit of football experience that Nic Cortese currently doesn't,

 

And a lot of other experience which we hope Nicola Cortese and ML never get to even hear about.

[Saints foreva]

Ewww, no thanks.

There was the small problem of money still being tied in with Birmingham. If Yeung does not complete or another buyer cannot be found, he is stuck in limbo. He was the guest of **** Knight a couple of times, but even he reckoned Saints were more likely than Brighton.

 

When you consider what we have now, someone as good as Sullivan hardly registers.

[miserableoldgit]

Ewww, no thanks.

Isn`t she taking over Margaret Mountfords role in the next series of "The Apprentice"? I think that KB may be a better "smash" than MM!

[saint_stevo]

she looks alright to me. Would love a go on that. Perfect age as well imo

[Master Bates]

Ok, what was actually said was:

 

Asked specifically about West Ham, he replied: "I wouldn't dwell on the problems or previous owners.

 

"What I would say to you is that travelling to Birmingham City Football Club and now having left them, it's a three hour journey to get there and a three hour journey to get back.

 

"So I'd like to change that, now that I'm making a change in my life. I wouldn't want to go north of Watford to a new club.

 

"Is West Ham south of Watford? Yes it is, but so is Brighton, Charlton, Southampton - there's lots.

LOL!! (now mopping coffee from keyboard)

[benjii]

Eastleigh?

[Viking Warrior]

I was also aware of Sullivan being interested especially the purchase of the stadium aspect. Well before the pinnacle bid was even mentioned.

 

Also was aware that gold was also sniffing around from another source

 

But at the end of the day we have ML and co to thank for sdaving our club

[dubai_phil]

Yes he was still involved so could not buy the club. However a property deal for the stadium did not break any rules.

 

Isn't it strange how luck works out...

 

The club was available but people couldn't do what they wanted, and then ML came along.

 

Interesting rumour that one WS. Let's think it through, ah ha, obviously was he Irish? Not many other choices.

[altoniansaints]

a year ago yes please and thankyou now no thanks i`m happy with ML and Co

[dubai_phil]

she looks alright to me. Would love a go on that. Perfect age as well imo

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one who wouldn't be too upset if I had to spend a while working under her

Well..........

 

You know me I ain't no PHD in English Language, and I have no idea how legislation works in the UK these days, but when I did work there it was more like ok boss, no problem boss, can you arrange for me to get a raise please boss?

 

Oh you meant THAT!?! Well, with the local Sat channel showing James Bond from the begining every night I think I'm firmly in the none of the above category, apart from a chick not as old as me who asks nicely

[dubai_phil]

An update..

 

Not on language but on Sullivan

Hey! You used that line last night! Some more invention please Sheikh Phillip!

[John Boy Saint]

If you are short and Canadian you might be in with a chance.

[September Saint]

So could our other neighbours if their latest sheik turns out to be another mirage

Body off Baywatch, face off Crimewatch.

David Bowie and Peter Mandelson don't look too bothered either.

On the contrary, they would have had the place buzzing.

I'm not sure I know the ins and outs of the deal that was on the table.

[alpine_saint]

Some excellent dildo gags on here.

 

My compliments, gentlemen... :-)

[benjii]

Urgh, "dildo gags".

[DT]

Didn't we have a double-header with Birmingham recently?

[dubai_phil]

Will you lot stop rabbiting on and on and on and on and on

[DT]

OK(Y)

[PaulSaint]

Good vibe on here this afternoon?

[DT]

It's been most stimulating.

[skintsaint]

after reading all these puns im going to have to go away and recharge my batteries.
