The Takeover Rumour Thread.

[Goat]

So MG if I understand you correctly, Peter Johnson won us the FA Cup, but it was Moyes that brought us Premiership stability, European Football and an increased value of our squad? Strange reasoning tbf.

Damn it, a hole in my arguement, bloody LOWLANDERS!!!!

/shakes fist.

Oh well, that just leaves The Park End.

Beat that KENWRONGERS

 

[nainotreve]

Park End (got rid of a two tier stand and replaced with a single tier, I think), FA Cup (Joe Royle.)

Now name good things Kenwrong has done.

Now name good things JOHNSON did.

Do you not remember that feeling that Johnson was running the club into the ground? Wow, short memory. Truly deprssing times - it was Duncan - if anyone - who saved the club in those days, not Red Peter. PJ walked away with a handsome profit, by the way. He made a lot more than £10M.

You mean the same feeling I have now??

 

[Goat]

However, I am starting to get the feeling that what Bill Kenwright has been doing to the club is worse than what Peter Johnson did.

If my figures are wrong, then do tell me otherwise, but when Peter Johnson left we had £25 million worth of debt but had £18.7 million worth of off-field assets.

Now, we have a debt of anything ranging from £45million to £90 million, but all off-field assets have been sold or mortgaged off resulting in a £27 million asset deficit/liability.



Walks away whistling

yes i remember!

but i also remember smith getting appointed and fapping all over the place i also remember the summer when johnson went for it with throwing money at the team matartzi,decourt et el...... and fapping all over the show!

johnson didnt know that smith who had been very very successful was an utter tit! but at least he tried!

kenwright took smiths advice on moyes and i also remember crapping myself at that appointment after watching a fair bit of preston with my dad! but thank christ it came off in a big way!

so yes i remember!

Don't quite get your point, Foz.

Ridiculous stuff, our turnover was about 20 mill and our debt 20mill and our annuall outgoings about 23 mill. Work it out. Incidently the Park end was/is a disaster, he ran Joe Royle - (FA Cup winning manager and 6th in the league from PL fodder). Dont get me started on Duncan - Newcastle here.

Incidently where did that 20 mill of debt go, just disappear i suppose?

kenwright got lucky with his manager!

and johnson didnt! even though he was proven!

and thats why johnson gets slated more than kenwright!

No mate, it increased four fold, at the same time that Sky and Prize money increased 20 fold.

Do them maths.

 

[davek]

This is what it's come to for Bill's apologists - "he's better than Johnson". Lol!

I await the favourable comparison with Dr David Marsh...it'll be along anytime now.

Right. I'd say that it could quite easily be argued that Kenwright had balls and insight when he spoke to DM after Walter recommended him. And remember, DM is still there ten years later so Blue Bill must be doing something right to keep him sweet (and don't just lazily mention the £65,000 a week - that's his market value).

I'm not saying Kenwright hasn't put a foot wrong but the Johnson era was truly dire and if you can't remember that then I just don't know what else to say.

 

[Goat]

Shhh Dave, im baiting them like a FISH here.

It is actually laughable that they strive so hard to prove hes better.

*giggles*

so can you remember smith getting appointed? was johnson bad then? can you remember us spend £25/30m (which at that time was loads) in one summer? was johnson bad then?

like i said johnson fooked us over but kenwright is also fooking us over but imo by a lot more!
