No football people in the football club. Simple as. 

Neville and Rudkin are. That latter though is useless.

I used to look at the likes of the West Stand or those even in the Kop who turn round and tell Union FS To shut up and not really be able to contemplate what on earth they get from supporting our club.

 

Now I get it. "It's only football". Only a game. It's basically just like the theatre to you lot isn't it.

 

The absolute pathetic, passive nature of you lot is very well represented by Top and Rudkin and every other weak minded person running this club. 

 

Congratulations

Compare this statement to Top’s. Mind blowing how hard he finds it to just say sorry 

It’s all well and good praising the statement but he’s also just gone and put Elland Road as security for a bank loan

Top needs to be proactive, the club feels soft hire a proven manager, hire a competent DOF, get the club back to it’s high standards off the pitch and on the pitch.

Completely agree.

Everything our owners have ever does has been through ****ing bank loans. Mike Ashley probably put more into Newcastle

Not really true when they’ve written off all hundreds of millions in debt owed to them.

So they can sell it. Which they will look to do over the summer but cost us a whole summer while we wait.

Hmmmm. Mike Ashley has put more into Newcastle than KP into LCFC . .  .

You reckon? We are worth way less in the Championship

You're aware they've put in over £300m of their own money aren't you?

yea, but the bank loans haven't been to leverage bits of our club to buy a different club have they?

Selling isn’t the only reason to write off debt. Not saying they never intend to sell but there’s zero incentive for them to do so when we’re a Championship club. Would be financial suicide for the family.

And our debts to them outweighed that.

 

Mike Ashley got pelters for loaning them £117m

 

We were -300m before this recent writing off of debt. Which was only done to make a sale more appealing.

He didn't do it while we were in the Championship though did he.

yes? they did debt to equity to write off ~£100m of loans to the club back around Christmas 2013

[Countesthorpe Fox 1884 12]

Are we really entering a conversation around how a man that gave Alan Pardew an 8 year contract is a better owner the KP/ Top? This is a new dimension.

[AjcW]

Let's be honest. If Anthony had done the job he's paid to do and written Top a close to competent statement, this thread would be nowhere near 33 pages.

“Only done to make a sale more appealing”. Utter muck, and without substance.

 

It was a personal debt they could choose to write off or not in any sale. Writing it off before negotiating means they have nothing to negotiate, there is no debt. It makes no sense, unless it’s external bank debt which is non negotiable.

I could tell you 5 worse decisions since his Dad died.

 

Obviously I was using hyperbole in my initial comment but I'm so ****ing pissed off at us all sleepwalking into even worse by defending all this. 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

A couple of days on and if you still believe that statement was written by Top then you need your head checking.

 

You probably also believe he sits down with a pen and paper and writes his programme notes every week as well…

Who made that debt?
