that barragan fella looks a player

I think the main thing is that wherever you are in the stadium, but especially in the pitch side recliners, you should be able to watch the game unfold on a giant TV.

I thought Hicks mumbled something about using his experience to improve the plans within the confines of what was already agreed...

taliking about getting 'the shovel in the ground' in stanley park within 60 days.

"perhaps the greatest franchise in the history of the greatest sport in the world"

george Hicks' involvement seems to have swung it. Gillett doing an extremely good sales job. Hicks less articulate but saying all the right things. aaaaaaahhh. he said franchise! quick, abandon all hope!

equal partners/chairmen. will have one son each on the board.

will look at naming rights if the money is there thinks we are not far from being a dominant force and if naming rights help us make the next step....

says there is no debt on the club...whatever that means

hmmm. this is almost certainly a gesture designed specifically to impress people exactly llike you though (the fans)...and I think you will be in a minority in not seeing this as a nod to continuity and tradition etc etc (no matter how token/hollow).

feature on coping with angry dad's?

indeed. I was ridiculed/ignored for pointing out some of the unsavoury aspects of our potential owners. it's unlikely that anyone with the money to invest is going to be squeaky clean but te way it was brushed under the carpet by some on here was embarrassing. people see and believe what suits their agenda. this might change from day to day.
