You'll soon find out whose the minority here, and it might end up being you....

I just hope RBS decline the extention to the b******s, its for all to see that they dont have the ready cash to finance anything, read on one of the articles that RBS has one of their main men working on this deal as theyve had good relations with the club over a long period of time and they will be studying everything closely before making their choice. I just hope they reject it....

I can see DIC taking over and bringing Benitez back, imagine the PR

4321 would be a better formation for all our CM's.. The 2 behind Torres include Babel and someone of his capability for the other flank, another player we need to sign...

Link? Source... just looking for some confirmation mate.

was that your christmas wish Ant? No real opinion of them, dont like them dont hate them either...

Hicks has a history of such crap decisions, they will sell players to pay loans.. we can only hope that it shouldnt come to that.

He's contracted till 09, so i reckon we can sell him for about 2-3m upfront and some more cash if he gets an england cap...

Zenden might have done little on the pitch, he did a lot for team harmony by what was always said about him.... Babbel and Gary Mac the best Bosmans we got though....

I get that, but apparently he is looking to put up all of the clubs as collateral and pick up loans, how much of that money comes towards us we dont know? if he puts up his half of the club towards this loan, then what about gilletts half, how does he secure a loan on that then?

Best deal for them? minimise their own risk? = means more debt on the club, more interest for the club to pay?

Spot on. Id gladly take that spot off anyone who wishes to give it up, will have to move to the UK first though

Merry Christmas mates! Hoping for a boxing day thrashing

Well, IIRC, those other teams are also saddled with their debt, the hockey team has the AAC to pay for and the Baseball team has gone from breaking records while signing AROD to being bottom of their division in the aftermath etc. I highly doubt their value while putting them up as collateral and also how the reaction will be by their fans who by the looks of it are already frustrated with Hicks and his management. but then, what do i know....

True, he has never let go of his other assets easily, which has set a bad precedent considering that he hasn't done much to get them back to the pinnacle after the initial success....

By all the entities you mean all their American assets i presume, correct me if im wrong but by the looks of the stuff online the rangers fans would be glad if someone bought them off Hicks and the Hockey team has been piled up with debt and the quality of their team is going down steeply... So, they dont look like their operating right....

and what happens to the clubs then?

Just been doing some searching on one half of our owners and some of the stuff ive found is really depressing... just thought id share it here.... Note - Mods please move this if there is a topic about this already ( i couldnt find one directly related.. ) http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa38...207/ai_n9134756 http://hitlesswanderings.mlblogs.com/hitle...icks_vs_ro.html http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2007/nov/1...-hicks-mismana/ and yes, Merry Christmas

Your Parry isnt it? We win, fine, we get cash, if the loans are taken with higher interest rates than what we can get, we wont have as much to spend as our direct rivals ( something we dont have anyways ) which means we are again not developing at the same pace as them... It wont be an Era of success with the Business Models we seem to be using, stop being so naive.

As more and more households see Premiership matches in Asia, the fanbase goes on increasing, that works for all clubs, if anything we have lesser stores than the rest when it comes to official merchandise. Now with Adidas becoming our Kit Sponsor we have some stores in India, but the things are so highly priced the majority of the public cant afford to spend that kind of cash on things. And those that can pick them up from Europe or Dubai. ( As the quality is better there. ) Parry has had a role to play in our successes, no doubt. But those are just short steps if compared with what the rest of Europe's elite has done in the same time frame.

How is the fanbase anything to do with Parry, I live in India, if you want to thank anyone for the fanbase, thank the broadcasters.... Parry should walk if he 'loves' the club as he claims he does.

Absolutely, Parry who apparently makes 500k a year from his job here stays on while we seem to be in the same situation as before the club was sold. From Moores to G & H, acquiring money for the club has been a major problem. When the deal was done in Feb, the stadium designs were approved in July IIRC, then why wait 4-6 months to complete a deal, its all bull s**** imo.
