Gingeletiss Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 You've got to laugh .....I had/have a theory, that Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim is in fact our new owner, and has bought Skatesmith, with the intention of turning it into flats, rebranding, and walla!!!!! we are back in the Prem, and our new owner in a hero in Hampshire.........

dubai_phil Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 Oh dear, poor old DP got a right load of stick back when the poopey deal got announced for pointing out that their big man may not be quite as big as our friends down the road thought, and mentioning it may be a little "dubious" - LMFAO Thaksin has been based in Dubai for some time trying to do dogdy and PR related deals, Fahim has a nickname here..... He wants to be the Middle East's "Mohammed Trump..." Google the Hydra Executive - no ego at all that guy. Real down to earth dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 I can understand the excitement of the Skates situation but let's not get too carried away when we ourselves don't even know who it is that's taking over our own club. I doubt very much such a thing could happen in our own case, but, all the silence, mystery, does leave one on one's guard. Let's not forget our own purchaser will require approval before we come out of Administration. Elsewhere. I just can't believe reading this morning that Stockport have sorted out their takeover already and begin negociations to expand their business.

rallyboy Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 Between the lines are they suggesting that the arab has already brought/bought a senior Prem league official on board to smooth the path of a dodgy takeover? I do hope the Sun keeps making waves and other media look deep into the deal until it all comes crashing down. If that is the case I reckon they won't be able to pay the wages by Christmas, and that would be very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other matters, a new manager is a must if we still have time and there is still someone out there who can help us back to where our glorious team should be.

Do you think yer average Real socio wonders where the 240 million they've spent on Kaka,Ronaldo and Villa came from? They haven't bought him yet, and the Real money is pretty easy to explain. Firstly they can name their price for TV rights, last year that was £130 Million, this year with Ronaldo and Kaka, it could be as much as £200 million. Also, people pay to be on the board at Real, that generates plenty of money, as many 'donate' to the club too (alot of these are some of the richest men in Spain, the same goes on at Barcelona)......and also there is the council, back in 2005 they paid the club £300 million for the training ground and that wiped out the clubs debt....

lee_saint Posted 13 June, 2009 Share Posted 13 June, 2009 How do they get 130m for tv rights? Thats more than the PL generates Because the Premier Leagues is a set amount, each clubs gets the same. In Spain the teams can negotiate how much they get, of course the top teams can make top dollar from it. You’ll find that Malaga might only make £20 million from TV rights, whereas Real Madrid will make £130 million plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFKA South Woodford Posted 14 June, 2009 Share Posted 14 June, 2009 A Poopey council official said on Radio Solent yesterday afternoon that they were the only club south of London that were approached because part of the conditions in staging WC games is that the stadium must be a 40,000 seater which presumably any Skates proposed new pit would be. The thing that makes it worse is that we are going to have to pay for the blo*dy thing out of our taxes, as the organising comittee have said that they want to invest in a new stadium to be built on the south coast. So the skates get a brand new stadium either free of charge, or at little cost to themselves or whatever shady character is running their market stall of a club at the time.
