Oldben Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Does anyone know, how many people are I'm the Appleby consortium and is there a chance that some of those might withdraw their funding if the club is owned by that consortium. I heard a rumours that was what happened last time he was connected to the club?! The Morgan bid interests me, Great football knowledge from the potential owner, plus je has the cash to make it happen. MA bid, interests me, but I heard a rumour that he's waiting to be the last person at the bidding table in order to try and offer a low bid.

If you look at them, Parry’s messages at the time suggested the opposite. Agree though that EFL and Quantuma were far to slow in focusing on this and it may have cost us a January sale. If you don’t know Couhig or Gibbo I think you can do no more than read the runes on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had nothing to do with building the team that got to the playoffs final. He completed a full takeover in September of the following season and things were never quite the same again and I include the Villa final in that. That day Morris was rolling his dice in the Last Chance Saloon and he lost. So he was a jinx from day 1? jimtastic56 and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSE pulled out because they wouldn't or couldn't keep bank rolling the losses and if El Presidente Sam Rush, (who sacked the manager who reduced the payroll by over 60% and signed some outstanding players for peanuts) ever gets near the club again he would probably complete the destruction of the club. History always repeats itself Well yeah but that's just Championship football - those figures look pretty mid-table to me, and within FFP limits. How do they compare with later seasons under Morris once you factor in a) straight-line amortisation and b) our astonishingly lucrative stadium deal?

And people will only bid what they can afford or feel it's worth. I still reckon HMRC are holding a big hand in this due to their preferential status and largest creditor vote influence.

You’ve been posting this steadfastly for months and months. But none of the ITKs around the place - the club, Q, the EFL, the journos, the ITKs on Twitter - have ever mentioned it despite them referring to various other roadblocks. Q specifically told us - after meetings with HMRC - that they had agreement. And surely you’re not saying HMRC was going to rain on CK’s winning post parade ? Is this just a hunch or is there some basis for the concern? RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, I would never demand someone lose his job to his boss(es). I find it underhanded and I like to be able to look at myself in the mirror. I kept my criticisms to Forums and social media, and openly questioned decisions on the Radio. But I always tried to word it as a challenge than a demand. Such as "If NC cannot do certain things, he should improve his backroom staff..." even when I knew he wouldn't and would end up dropping back down the levels.

History always repeats itself Agree but think this largely shows the near impossibility of running a competitive Championship sustainably. In the end Mel's biggest mistake was he was incredibly unlucky. Any promotion (which might have happened several times given our playoff campaigns and had we not sustained such critical injuries) and we'd have been fine and he'd continue to be lauded. Appleby and GSE got out because they realized it was not sustainable unless the gamble on promotion paid off. For that reason I'm surprised Appleby is back, but as he doesn't have his own money to lose I would far rather Ashley or Morgan who want the club because they like being part of the football world and owning and club, and for that reason what they *really* want is for that club to be in the Premier League and will do everything to bring that about.
