In true Sag style they went completely over the top with their celebrations in attracting new owners regardless of whether it was going to bring them any future success or not. They were desperate, absolutely desperate, and Mr “Hello, unlucky da shit” was your typical Sag. Not just content with having new owners, but just couldn’t resist the temptation to have a dig at City. This is why they are the gift that keeps on giving. Had he not mentioned “da shit” then he wouldn’t have got half as much stick, but he couldn’t help himself and totally dropped his pants without waiting to see exactly how the Al Qadis would run the club.
He wasn’t alone. The “It’s official, oldest, wealthiest club in the West” picture came out, goading Ted’s.
Most sensible people (which was most City fans and a number of cautious Sags) wanted to see some evidence that the Al Qadis were going to invest and move the Sags forward before getting caught up in the hype, but right from the very first interview with Hamer you got the impression that the takeover wasn’t quite the scenario that Sags had been spouting off about whilst goading us. If you watch Steve Hamers interviews and check out his body language (not what he says) you can see that he is very guarded. I smelt a rat very early on, but it seems that deluded Sags were caught up in finishing 2nd in the Conference, having an open top bus tour to celebrate and carrying Wally down Gloucester Road like he was some sort of Messiah, even though all he had done at the time was to invest in a new scoreboard.
Now the polish is well and truly off of the turd the Sags are acting like victims again. Well Saggies, you set yourselves up for a massive fall. You should have been content with still having a club instead of giving it the biggun to the Teds. You will never learn though. You are driven by impulse, a deep rooted jealousy of anything and everything City and a constant belief that you are hard done by with off the scale delusions of grandeur. As long as you continue to be like that this thread will always exist, as will your gifts.
