Couldn’t exactly pay it in arrears.

Meeting between the big 3 next week [Link]

Money each season up front [Link]

Let me know and I’ll do it for free next time not cos I have the skills just because it doesn’t cost anything to stream video for free in the present day.

Would of cost 7 -8 k to stream the meeting live,(and that's mates rate)apparently. Also aiming for 8th place in championship in 5 years as that a place higher when mk was announced.

Dave are you referring to something from tonight’s meeting?

Beginning of December I think Jackson in pre Arsenal round-up Russ

Any idea when McNeilly is back?

Is “ sportswash “ boy there ready to jump off the main stand if no one listens to him

To infinity and beyond Patrick - to quote another inter-galactic traveler.

Yeah he was brilliant in his role on Extras and I think that showed a lot about him as a person beneath all the fame.

Of all the places to learn about Patrick Stewart. He seemed like one of the good ones :(

Or preferably “make it not so”

Not a good week in the Star Trek universe

No way?

RIP Patrick Stewart

No OI but you will get to see a recording of the meeting tomorrow - past performance suggests this will be highly edited/redacted but I hope the Trust has learned from previous mistakes* and just puts out the raw footage.

no live stream of today's meeting?

(Ps I’m not really sure there’s that potential value in our stadium footprint)

Certainly think that if he’s got access to £86m then the best ways to turn that into £860m are either a highly successful London Premier League and European football club or a huge business and residential development on prime southwest London real estate.

I don't think he's a philanthropist. I doubt he sees us as a cash cow. Rather, it's an investment in being seen to be part of the establishment, to burnish his credentials with potential business partners abroad, and to boost his status. Perhaps he intends to get other influential wealthy people to join him for the ride in SSC. Just one theory, of course.

Anyone on here going tonight? I'm out for a curry so will have to catch up with the recording tomorrow.

Makes Jesse Marsch seem shy and retiring

I don't think this is a property deal. This is also not an act of philanthropy. Talk of them being attracted to the fan-ownership model doesn't wash with me, as Rosen said at the meeting they had looked at 'other clubs, other investments' before us. And presumably, given his critique of their MO, they entered into discussions with those clubs, as opposed to just look at them from afar. This vote will pass but I'm not one for bullshit statements to win us over. Say it like it is: they see football as a lucrative investment; we are in dire straits and need their money.
