''I think after 14 years the supporters get fed up with you..............''  -  David Sullivan, Birmingham City.

Unless things pick up this season, the crowds at Carrow Road will start to shrink significantly next year and the rump will get more than grumpy.

And then? Hell ah start pop!

Especially since if Cullum comes in for the shares at 1 pound each - same as Brum''s.

But will the last roll of the dice with McNally and Lambert start to pull those irons out of the fire in time?

Well, we''ll see what we shall see.

Remember, you read it here first folks.[:-*]

The crunch comes in December 2010 when the next £2 million loan repayment is due.

Unless DS & MWJ come up with the cash for that the club will go into administration and then will lose every penny they have put into the club.

I suspect they may rather strangely find a buyer just before then.

Pap (pronounced /ˈpɑːp/), a traditional porridge made from mielie-meal (ground maize or other grain), is a staple food of the Bantu inhabitants of South Africa (the Afrikaans word pap is taken from Dutch and simply means "porridge" or "gruel"). Many traditional South African dishes include pap, such as smooth maize meal porridge (also called slap pap), and crumbly phutu pap. Such dishes are enjoyed primarily by the indigenous black population and the Afrikaner population, rather than those of English or South Asian descent

Feeling peckish Bly? No need to sit there feeling hungry, you can have as much of my pap as you like[:D]

One thirtieth of thirty though. So HUGELY less than the clubs valuation as I recall.

Time passes, things change.

What do you think would be a fair valuation of our shares in todays reduced circumstances?

Don''t you think that a forced sale to stave off the ruins of administarion is an item high on the agenda for the next few months?

And wasn''t the securitisation of that loan against the gate receipts...........

Filth columnist more like given the usual embittered binner drivel that spouts from this binboy.

I suppose the best he can hope for is that we likewise defraud our local traders, make off with money owed to a charity and weasel out of paying the amounts due to the Inland Revenue.

Bit like one of those benefit scroungers who having shacked up with some feckless liar and now think that everything is going to be ok from now on.

Dream on scummer. Your clubs owns nothing yet still owes £30 million plus. Your ground belongs to some invisible asset stripper, your training ground belongs to the bank and your future belong somewhere just below Ronnie Biggs (mind you, dear old Ronnie only robbed a train - not his local suppliers, shareholders and charity workers) !

I think personal shareholdings in monetary terms are worthless.

I  think the club valuation of their shares is the valuation of the club divided by the issued and unissued shares. I think the £30 was arrived at by this process at an AGM a couple of years ago. I guess if the book value of the club is less now they could do it again. I think they would have to if they were going to issue more shares. There are people on here who would know if that''s correct but I doubt they''d be as sad as me and open this box.

The fact that for the first time ever you appeared to have recognised the difference between the clubs valuation and any personal valuation made it a red letter day for me. If you now admit that the club can state the shares are worth £30 each while Delia can state her personal shareholding is worthless I''ll do a cartwheel too[<:o)]

I don''t believe the club is anywhere near going into administration to be honest. If you had made the loan would you force the issue in order to receive five pence of every pound or whatever the going rate would be?

Now do you really thing Curo is capable of playing wide left and getting up and down the pitch accordingly?

[/quote]I posted this on another thread, but no doubt Bly was too busy cooking

up mixed metaphors ("But will the last roll of the dice with McNally

notice.

The comparison of £1 a share with £30 a share MIGHT be relevant if

Norwich City was a listed company. But it isn''t. So the comparison is

totally irrelevant.

The comparison that matters in the real world is between the respective

costs of buying the two clubs - £16m at most for Norwich and the £81.5m

at which Carson Yeung''s bid values Birmingham. Bly''s £1 a share values NCFC at £550,000. I doubt he will find many other supporters who think our club is worth only one-one hundred and sixtieth of Birmingham City.Indeed I suspect not many would think our club is worth only one-fifth of Birmingham, which is what you currently get with £1 a share for Birmingham and £30 a share for NCFC. Indeed, given that, far from cutting the price of her shares, Delia ought to be

raising it...
