SaintRam Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I've been incredibly disinterested of late but am I reading right that the ex President of Real Madrid is becoming our lawyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Well there's quite a lot of exclusives already, and a lot of claims being made that, on paper, sound very promising... But let's hope he's not over-promising from the very start, relationships can go south very quickly by doing that.

hintonsboots Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It all sounds very promising....... I hope the new owners are the real deal and it doesn’t transpire that the main backer is Ricardo246. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the UK is not in the EU this does not sound sensible. In any case, much of law is very country specific so the fact that he's a Spanish law expert should not hold water over here. But in the end, if all he is doing is advising the owners then on their heads be it. europia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Yes, it's no even been completed yet, we don't really know what will happen and we should try to judge him by his actions and so on. But. "I'm going to get us promoted, spend £150m and buy £20m players" seems a bit "say things fans like so they are on side" rather than "here are some well considered thoughts on sustainable growth and a positive direction for the club" It's nice that he thinks the end goal is promotion to the prem where the big money is, and I doubt any new owner would suck their teeth and go "well lads, lower midtable year on year is kind of the limit for the cash I have to spend on yous, but it's mine now ha ha ha" ariotofmyown and europia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing, a Spanish lawyer probably wouldn't automatically be qualified to practice in the UK. Van der MoodHoover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Perhaps I am reading between the lines too much, but is this is implying that there will be an informal role at the club for the absolute crook that is Matt Southall?

Nuwtfly Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I’m sorry, but this all absolutely reeks of some Fawazian dramatic comedy, or is it tragedy? More and more alarming by the minute. I hope we, as fans, are ready to have to come together and look after the best interests of our club, because I feel increasingly sure that this is going to take us down a dark and ugly road.

Heisenberg Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The bloke sure does talk a lot for saying no further comment was to be made until the transaction was complete.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I can’t really envisage any possible way that this takeover can go wrong. It’s bound to end really well for us. Inevitably a success you might say. It will go pretty much exactly like that interview with a man form Sky. What could possibly go wrong? The good times are here.
