Yes I agree about low profile v high but I can understand people having concerns about just how low.

And just my personal pov but buying a Scottish baron title is a bit naff isn’t it? As I’ve said right from the start we’ll only know whether this is a good deal or not sometime down the line (and even then I’m sure some will claim it was while others swear it wasn’t.) I have zero faith in either party’s solicitors’ word tbh but if the IFR, EFL and FCA are satisfied then those are all the checks that are required. Pass the vote and pass them and on we go. Anything but how we currently are.
Moreover the 2025/26 accounts will be out shortly and before the vote closes. May drive a YES vote

“Hannah” in there should have been Hammam- should have known that auto correct wouldn’t have taken that!!

Trigger- to me it is very reasonable to ask about the existence and reliability of the £87m, though that is really the lawyers and the regulator’s job and they both have way more powers and sources of information on this than we do. The other side that DrMir seems a bit low profile and not much is known about him, isn’t a problem for me - I would much rather have someone who is relatively quiet than a Hannah type telling us we are all his children before selling us out. My take on this is that Dr Mir really just wants to be part of the great and the good in this country- hence all his royal-linked and establishment charity involvement, so the absolute last thing he is going to do is crash a football club and kill his reputation. I do respect that others are more sceptical than me on that though.

TF - back to back losses for Crewe but undefeated before that (except a cup loss). So, no pushover particularly given our desire to lose games like that.

In other news I see Crewe got a right shoeing yesterday at Chesterfield. Could be a game where we get a second goal…

Gonna argue against myself here and say that yeah the youngsters seem the most “hell yeah let’s go” about the whole thing and I can understand why - they’re more interested in watching us win games than all the rubbish about who owns the club. But they’re also probably not so concerned about future effects given their joyous youthful naivety. BUT… I have myself said that it’s impossible for anyone to know how this deal plays out.

I do think people are entitled to ask questions about the identity of the person putting the money in and where that money is coming from though as those £86m are the main things people are voting yes for. If they don’t exist that’s kind of a big deal.
REPD- I agree with all of your points below- particularly numbers 3 and 7.

Oh, cheap hat trick if nobody else posts - I think it will pass with about 70-75%. Few people will really care about it once it happens, after the initial adjustment. Simply put, I think the rank and file are just fed up with being an increasingly small fish in a big pond, and it's no fun being poor when you don't need to be. Somebody elsewhere posted in the last day why couldn't Dr Omar in particular just do what Nick Robinson did? Probably because Robinson put in relative peanuts, and didn't have much financial influence. TBH, fan ownership in its present form is dead now, and has been for a good while. This is just the next chapter...

Also interesting anecdote wise that the biggest supporters of this investment are the younger ones, who clearly aren't scared of having people with money coming in.
Oh, and 7) Administration would fuck us up more than Dr Omar, Plastic, and the rest of the Bertrand Boys on their worst day. Somebody like Hammam or (dare I say it) Wankie could come in to buy us up at a cheap price, and there is fuck all the DT or other supporters could do about it. We might not be 6 months away from admin, but we're one financial shitstorm away from being very close to it as it is...

Clocks didn't move back here (nor do they move forward). Could have done with the extra hour in bed
Morgen allles. A few things... 1) At least we've stopped the rot of games. Even a point can do wonders. 2) I wonder if people might be over-focusing on Dr Omar. Sure, he's putting up a lot of the finance, but I doubt if it's his money entirely. And it's probably not a lot for him anyway, relatively speaking. 3) Also, Dr Omar being low profile isn't necessarily a bad thing. How would people be if he was a rent-a-mouth? Probably a lot more wary. 5) Only one of the new people I'm not sure about is Bertrand, and I think he might be the first one to leave that consortium. 6) It will be a leap into the unknown, but 90 other EFL clubs manage it. We're not unique.

$6MDM - quite a few people are saying exactly the same as you regarding the timing of the whistle, though I can't say that I personally heard it.

Am I the only one that heard the ref blow his whistle before their guy kicked the ball in the net? I know what I heard and I didn't imagine it. That probably influenced was Burzik did.

Mark- the Wycombe player could have run around RJ twice more. Burzik could have come out a bit quicker.

Looking at that goal, looks like Bursik fault maybe more than Johnson

Just in from an emotional day at PL. had a few informative and bridge building conversations. Needed PL to be a happy place again regardless of the football so have made steps to make that possible now
Bush, the pack said 2.4 million per year, that may be high but we are not pulling in close to that and there is zero guarantee about the future sales. If the current owners won't cover the losses then eventually we are insolvent if no deal is done. I think there are significant issues about the deal but for me it is the only game in town so I have to vote yes.

Administrators have to maximise what the creditors receive, not what the owners receive or desire. If option A raises more for the creditors they cannot choose option B because it is better for the former owners or even the community. Otherwise they could be sued by the creditors.

RK, Oh joy. Another hour added to the middle of the night as wake up from my ability to sleep more than three hours per night.

Another hour of Clive Bull it is then.
RK - this is one of my least favourite days of the year for that very reason. I hate it when it gets dark early and I end up walking in the dark and the rain. I can't want until the last Sunday in March. That is, conversely, one of my favourite days for exactly the opposite reason.

I've already put the clocks back that don't automatically go back at 2.00 am, much to the annoyance of my wife.
Don't forget - clocks go back ONE HOUR to GMT at 2am Sunday.
