Just to clarify, four years since she mentioned what, specifically?

She's talked about investment and ownership on the ACN podcast and the Gary Neville interview.

Just for the record, I'd be very interested to hear their thoughts, so I'm not trying to stifle your suggestion at all.

The interview I would like to see would be with Tom Smith.

It seems to suggest that they have had enquiries that from people who have subsequently been ignored Bill.

Not only extremely rude but a clear indication that they aren't prepared to sell. 

No, what it indicates is that they have stuck to their word.

It has to be in the best interests of the club - not their bank balance

In a football world swamped with shysters and dodgy money men it is reassuring to know that we have decent folk at the helm, and those not willing to allow said ' shysters and dodgy money men ' anywhere near the club

Any prospective owner can't indicate how much they are prepared to pay for a club without being given open access to current financial data etc. 

If they haven't even entertained enquiries then they've made it impossible for anybody to ever make an offer. Think about the practical implications. 

As for leaving this up to three club employees, who have a vested interest in ownership not changing because it would highly likely bring about change which would see the structure adapted and them all out of a job... no comment.

Hence my acceptance in previous posts that some clarity on the issue would be good. I have no problem with people applying a bit of pressure to have those questions answered publicly.

One where he says those better qualified to run a football club will continue to do so

as is currently the case with DS and MWJ

Only numpties flying a plane is not 'pressure' and neither they nor the club have to answer every idiotic bleat by the usual ragbag of malcontents

I said all along that the plane was a daft idea.

If the questions are asked fairly and respectfully (without the kind of condescending hyperbole that infests your every post, for example), I see no reason why Delia and Michael wouldn't engage.

By what reason to do you presume they are answerable to spotty herberts like you

if you are a shareholder, then get up and bleat your piece at the next shareholders meeting

if not then they are no more answerable to you than they are to any other person on this planet

Is it your life's mission to ostracise yourself from every other human being on the planet?

I'm actually largely on your side of this debate, so it's strange that you want to throw insults at me. But whatever gets you through the day, I guess.

You know very well what the sides are, Nutty. There are 'pant wetters' and 'happy clappers'. Some people even acknowledge a third, non-binary group known as the 'fence sitters'. Rumour has it that these rare heretics are able to view and analyse both sides of an argument without feeling the need to take up arms for either side. I don't believe it myself, though.

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023]

You know how the British weather can throw up two or three seasons in just one day (I once got soaked and sun burnt in one day watching Norfolk play Gloucestershire in Bristol), is it possible to be a "pant wetter", happy clapper" and "fence sitter" in the same day?........

It didn't get 20% of the fundraising required according to someone I know who's in the FB group.

He's also sent me some screenshots where people have started an entire thread just about little ol' me on there! Just a load of abuse because I don't agree with them regarding ownership, basically.

The good news is, having seen the level of intelligence displayed on that screenshot, they're never getting the funds they want.

I think Til's idea to drape Delia Out banners from prominent bridges around the city and county might happen. Not sure my hambag idea will fly.

Mate, it was Til who went and messaged the Adam chap (who started the banner idea) about me posting on here, which they now think is me reporting it to 'the media' and i'm now a mole or something or other. I'm shocked it started with Til 😅

I think that's why that Adam chap now responds to every comment I make on the fan group with "mole c*nt" etc etc. Priceless.

They should be thanking me for the exposure. Then again getting less than £200 out of the £1000 or so they needed for the banner suggests it's not quite according to plan.
