Smurthwaite Sold Up?

[Family Stand Terrier]

To be fair his signings helped get us over the line into league 1. Now he has to start again. As he's long since said he has the power to get us to the Championship' date=' he needs to show it.[/quote']

And how much will the directors loan be by the time that happens?

This football club is a joke why would anybody want to buy a season ticket

So you give Smurthwaite the credit for getting us promoted yet supposedly at the same time he had absolutely no idea/scrutiny over what Wildes was getting up to and spending all his money on?

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

None of whom you wanted, given your constant whinging about Hughes and Birchall. Unless you thought Purse was the reason we got promoted?

 

I didn't moan about the signings of Birchall, Griff and Purse. I have a signed Birchall shirt. Birchall just stayed too long.

Do Newcastle United make money?

 

Yes they do actually. The club has made a profit for 7 years in a row.

[Hagrid]

Could be and they could just be playing hard ball with the chairman. If they really want the club and have the dollar what's to stop them other than themselves?

 

Come on mate.

 

Smurf's asking for a ridiculous sum of money for a League 2 club with few assets. Why should they pander to his ego and give him his £3.7 million back when some of that money could go straight into the club?

 

Anyone who doesn't want Synectics to take over is either nuts or a contrarian.

No idea why don't you ask him? Enough to buy a few flagpoles I'd imagine.

I'm not saying they should at all, don't know them and have actually never met them. I've only met the chairman 3 times for that matter.

 

I'm also not supporting a potential bidder that has no manifesto or firm bid.

 

I support Port Vale and my family. I don't really care too much about anyone else from a financial perspective, least of all the rich owners of football clubs.

 

That said if they do get in and they don't take the **** on ticket prices and provide a top 6 budget I will give them my full respect. The only person I never did that with was Mike Lloyd who was a con artist.

[Howjy04]

Excellent performance.They'll soon be able to pay MA the £100m+ loaned to them.

Of course they have Ashley ain't daft, he's an outstanding business man like him or loathe him.

Nothing contrarian about this; just wary of supporting a bid from people I've no knowledge of. Some years ago, after our first admin, I remember V2001's supporters on social media urging Vale fans to petition Begbies to back Bratt & co' s bid. I did, as did many others. We all know how that ended; I just don't want history to repeat itself.

But how could they be worse than the current clown?

I don't know Phil, you tell me. Like I said, we were all urged to back V2001 as they couldn't possibly be worse than Bell. How did that work out?

[rsb]

To be fair they have been relegated for a couple of weeks. Decisions need to be made over the next couple of days.

 

Keep Bikey, Smith, Streete, Knopps, ADF, Foley, Eagles, Forrester and Turner and begger the rest off.

 

did you mean reeves instead of sick note forrester.

Not convinced by Reeves at all. He was terrible against Cov and lucky not to be sent off yesterday, the ref did him a good turn. That said I thought he was good in his cameo against Shrewsbury and in the game against Walsall.

 

Maybe a year long loan would do him good.
