Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Have to say, I’m out and all. It’s shown Blitz up for what he really is. And the regime that couldn’t get a single fucking thing right, that shed over 1,000 supporters in a season, that has effectively turned one against another now gets to gamble with a community club’s 125 years of history. Scrambling my password tonight and having a clean break. I wish everyone well, and may bump into a few occasionally. But my 35 years support is finished tonight.

Is it a case that AL has just put agreed a price with Blitz for the whole thing but now has to find the money to do it? Is he deciding he wants the ground too so he can try and profit from a sale. Was he just being thick to begin with and is now learning how to run the thing properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz would have sold to FLG at a rock bottom price, whereas AL would want much more and I doubt that he would want to sell to FLG at all. For a profit he might?

Midsblue Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Blind faith at the eleventh hour (2359 to be exact) but I’ve always had this nagging feeling that Lemsagam has very very rich mates and reality is he’s been throw money over the past two seasons to act out football manager. He’s an absolute fuckwit but has been victim of being surrounded by and influenced by even bigger fuckwits resulting in a calamity of errors over the last two seasons. Perhaps these “mates” have scrutinised the situation closer... perhaps even spoken with Blitz... and realised the opportunity of acquiring the land, OEC etc and decided to step in. Wouldn’t surprise me if board changes happen very quickly once this deal is done. Obviously it is extremely coincidental that Bassini is sniffing around when £7m has miraculously appeared from thin air. I doubt he’s provided this but I’d have a feeling he’s hoodwinked Lemsagam’s mates that anything can happen at OL1 2PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 39 minutes ago, singe said: Well yes. Sort of. Obviously he's won in that he's bought the lot and beaten the FLG that's clear now, but he's not got the ground for free like he tried to do, he's had to pay the debenture, have to pay HMRC, I think he'll have had to pay more than the FLG were offering to gazump them., and in effect pay the rent. He's pissed off a lot of fans so is going to have to offer incentives to get them to renew season tickets people won't forget being forced to choose., though plenty will obviously renew once the North Stand re-opens. He's not got much money coming in, and it ain't free. The only positive is that he starts getting things running like a proper club but it will need money to restore trust. We still need to know where this money, and his money in general is coming from. Why do we need to know where his money comes from? What on earth has that got to do you, me or anybody else. You don’t like him, vote with your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I suppose all this has to be confirmed, but the thought of AL in total control with Shitpeas and Mo as part of his team isn't goi g to get me back inside BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will always baffle me how some fans infer it’s our right to know, or that he should explain. His bank account is nobody business but his own. It’s a deluded point of view. Personally I don’t think it’s a monumental surprise. How has he being funding a squad of 35 on gates of 3500? Where did the money for Rowe pop up from? How could he afford to pay menig 11k a week. Lots of rich people will ‘suddenly’ find money when it’s in their interest, and cry poverty when it’s not. AL joins a long list of those people.

League one forever Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I’m not saying the future is bright. But I will say this, the club all being one again can only be a good thing. It also shows AL’s commitment that when push came to shove he found the money. If this is true, then over to you AL. Nobody else to blame now.

disjointed Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 What is the end game here? AL is allegedly pumping money into the club and also into Blitz's bank account. What can be gained from spunking all this money on a poor 4th division side. He's not doing it for the love of the football club or the fans, he's already proved that the fans are pawns to be used in his games. Something doesn't stack up.
