Big Sid

Think the boy just got a bit excited that he’d found a word that rhymes with Totten

That’s not how these things work. Concert promoters and the artists are the ones putting on this gig, they get the lions share of profits

Think 95% of people did take heed of what the Sunderland guy said, he failed to dish the dirt and kept needlessly repeating himself though. Unfortunately it’s the custodians of FFC that seemed intent on letting that utter chancer pull their pants doon in public

Let me fix that typo for you Mark. “I’ve never ran a business in my life, at least not for very long and only until it’s either been liquidated or wound up”

Was it because the owners may have had links to people associated with the MC bid? Is there a chance that this could be the case?

All the more reason to discuss it on a forum then surely. I admittedly know very little about the situation but it’s a pretty big deal and I’m keen to hear any and all opinions on the matter

True. I suppose some of us are just expecting the worst here, which is the wrong outlook. We will just need to sit back and see what comes out in the coming days and hope that the due diligence process is done with care. Fingers crossed Mr Campbell is the guy we all want him to be.

So it’s risk free then with nothing to be gained by him and lost by his acquisition of FFC?

The guy will have been involved in UK based affairs throughout some part of his life, and as such will have a record of these somewhere

It would be interesting to see what these dissolved companies were i.e butcher, Baker, candlestick maker, also, if MC has been attached to any fully functioning companies for any length of time. The guy is obviously English so he would have a track record of some sorts on these shores.

I’ve seen varying figures mentioned, that might be the right one. A lot of money, still quite possible that such a figure could be raised in order to make the initial purchase, whether that be through loans, a hidden consortium, who knows. If as has been mentioned this guy has been at the helm of 15 or 16 dissolved limited companies then it’s fair to say it’s worth erring on the side of caution

If that was the case then it’s a no-brainier the guy is bad news IMO

First off, I’d love this guy to be the messiah and deliver all our hopes and dreams on a silver platter, I’m just urging caution like most others. Is there anything to stop him taking out loans against the FFC company name and therefor plunging an otherwise debt-free, if not stagnated football club into murky financial waters? If that is somehow not possible then I stand corrected, I’m just being sceptical as I find it hard not to feel that way at this stage.

“Toronto Black Cat” Would be good if you stopped posting on here as if you were genuine and had any dirt to dish you would’ve done so by now, these thinly veiled, cryptic posts are just silly. Nowt more obvious that an agenda

The money required to buy out the MSG is relative peanuts, it would then leave MC or any other individual majority shareholding owner as the man at the helm, which could present issues further down the line. Just because someone can buy out the MSG doesn’t mean they’ve got serious financial clout to deliver. All looking a bit dodgy now anyway!
