Capt. Pants 4,298 Posted March 8, 2023 It seems the further we get into this process the more it transpires people don't know what the hell is going on. This and previous threads on the subject just seem to go round in circles, with the additions from wind-ups and lurkers. A bit of transparency wouldn't go amiss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They made themselves a bit of a hostage to fortune by stating a two week time period for the allotment to occur. I suspect that they have given themselves a further time extension, if only so those pesky lawyers can ramp up their billable hours… 😉 Edited March 8, 2023 by GMF Typo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is that you never had to wait for the club to find somebody who wanted to come and buy up shares, there has always been a demand for them and you could have found your own buyer relatively easily. You could have exited years ago and then we wouldn't have to hear you bleating on about what you think the club owes you. At a valuation of £100m you would realise a significant profit wouldn't you? What the hell else could you possibly hope for than that as reward for your investment. Most I suspect put money in with the expectation that we'd inevitably end up in administration one day like many other clubs and the shares would become worthless.

Who cares? I mean, I think its nonsense, but if when Cristiano Ronaldo donated $83,000 to pay for that kid to have brain surgery, his PR representative said "you know, we should publicise it, its good for optics and your reputation" Why does that matter to you? Would it be preferable to you if Cristiano Ronaldo let the kid die? Strange logic. I think if you objected to that then you'd be letting your jealous of somebody having $83,000 in spare cash lying around override your joy that some kid is getting the life saving surgery that he needs, and that this would reflect a lot worse on you than it would on Cristiano Ronaldo. But you do you, you've always done a great job of showing your envy whenever you get a sniff that somebody has a few quid. Everybody is very bored of Essex Canary's whingeing, but I think its evident that with a few posters there might be a slight tinge of jealousy coming through that he's set to see a big lump sum come his way. Comparison is the thief of joy Greavsy, remember that. Edited March 10, 2023 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that, absolutely couldn't care less what other people have, just no need to make a point of it. Certainly not Essex. I have no reason to be jealous of anyone, particularly people on a forum who I've never met. You don't know me, my wealth or worth, and there is a reason for that.......its none of your business (and I'm sure no one else is interested either).
