Pliskin

It’s just an educated guess, because both the Royal Group and the IHC are in the market for a football club…. But given our obsession with Man City it’s not a pipe dream, and why? We’re a ready made PL club, we’ve a state of the art training facility, recent success an academy that appears to be functioning….. There’s still a hell of a lot to like about us….. and turning us around is a good story “we saved Leicester city”……………..

Which might make sense…….

Not this again………. For the final time, Chelsea had our pants down getting rid of a crap academy player, he’s not good enough nor will he ever be good enough to play senior football. Close thread.

He is the chair of the Royal Group yes…..

I’m staking my reputation that it’s not Turki… My suggestion of who it might be is an educated guess.

They’re Abu Dhabi based. The royal group is essentially the Abu Dhabi royal wealth fund, similar to Newcastles ownership. But both IHC and the Royal Group have been in the market for a football club recently, and we’re essentially a pair of scuffed Red Wings on the shelf at TK Max….. so, I think they would be interested.

I’ve had it on fairly good authority it’s not Turki…. We won’t know who it is until a potential deal has been agreed…… my guess is a potential collaborative consortium made up of the International Holding Company and the Royal group. They’ve allegedly been in the market for a football club, and they will more than likely like a good deal. Despite all of our off field issues, we’ve still got a blue print for success, and £140m is a bargain for essentially a top level premier league club when ran properly. And let’s face it, our debt is loose change to most SA firms.

Apparently he’s decent, might not have a future at city but he’s allegedly a PL player in the making. Fast, good on the ball and has a good engine apparently…. I we just pace and assurance on the left, he will either replace Thomas, or he will give him a kick up the arse.

In all fairness, I reckon I would bag at least 10 in league one….

I know **** all about him…..perhaps league one will be his level?

I didn’t disagree with you, but who? If we’re not paying fees for anyone we’re restricted to loans and free’s.

We’re taking whoever we can. Ben Breton Diaz is a free isn’t he? Who would be better out of those two?

What choice do we have? We can’t spend any money.

Adebeyo is a risk worth taking in my opinion. It’s clear we’re not paying a fee for anyone, especially if there’s a potential deal for the club being discussed…. But he’s proven at this level and will probably get you at least 15 goals.

They will win the league comfortably.

Who’s coming in though? We aren’t spending any fees for players so we’re shopping in the free and loan markets….. I’d be surprised to see anyone else come in before the season starts, and if they do it’s likely to be a free and they will need a few weeks to get up to fitness.

I’m not trying to be negative, because I would much rather watch a team of academy players, trying every week and give us a team to be proud of again, even if they’re losing week in week out, than watching the likes of Ayew amble around the pitch. All I’m saying is there needs to be a sense of reality….. regardless of the lads little experience around the leagues, this is a vastly inexperienced group, and the pressure here is much different than the likes of Huddersfield….. it’s very likely Notts County will beat us comfortably on the opening day, because they’re likely to have more EFL savvy players, and probably be well up for it, and the lack of experience in the group could be exposed during afternoons like that. They could go out and smash it out of the park, but you’re asking for a very rare scenario where a team full of mostly academy players comes together and produces something spectacular… Anyway, even if they have a good season, they won’t be going for big money, those days are long gone, there’s not a PL team in sight that would be interested in Alves of Braybrook. They are miles off that.

We’re nowhere near, we’ve debts up to our eyeballs, unpaid fees for PL players and outstanding loans for PL football, and we’re now operating in a league where £12m is the average turn over in one season. It’s why we can’t sign any players for a fee, we can’t spend anything because we owe more money than we have. It’s why king power are now desperately trying to sell, because we’re hurtling to none existence.

They’re definitely lacking intelligence when it comes to running a business….. Top is no longer an active park of the head of King Power, and Rudkin is essentially trolley boy becoming manager. Rudkin has absolutely no business making the decisions that he does.

I think we need to wind it in a bit…… Alves hasn’t managed a string of games yet without getting injured, and Braybrook has only excelled at league 2 level. It’s exciting that both have an opportunity this season? But I think some fans expectations of them and our other academy players is misplaced.

Best ****ing hurry up.

It’s promotion or bust. And that ain’t happening. At least we will go out with a half decent away shirt.

We’re in a really precarious position. Off the pitch it’s now clear KP are preparing to sell the club, so they’re not going to be putting anything into it unless it’s to balance the books in order to sell. And, are they selling to the right market? It’s likely we’re over inflating our current worth and may struggle to be sold….. A poor season next season will likely land us in serious financial bother, to the point where we will most definitely be looking at administration and insolvency….. It’s the most important year in our clubs history. So much can go right, but everything could go wrong.

Seagrave isn’t the issue, it’s the way the club is being ran. Put Brighton at Seagrave and you’d see the benefit.
