Charliesboots Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Funny who you bump into on a social occasion and what you make small talk about isn't it? I mean there's a saying that comes to mind in situations like this.."Loose Lips Sink (Pirate) Ships". Oh! my, I am going to belly laugh so intensely when their particular Pirate Ship has to traverse the choppy waters ahead and inevitably run aground. You think the relegation to Non League was hilarious? Wait for it cos it's going to get a whole lot funnier.... I'm off back to the party to see what other prize gems are going to fall my way, nothing quite like alcohol to loosen people up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, he could spend his trillions building a legoland bowl but he doesn't seem too interested in that either They will be comfortable in league one..mid table finish won't be a problem-not a big step up,that's for sure!! 1 hour ago, RedRaw said: So you'll be happy and think you'll cope if no new signings come in during the summer?

Oh yes a billionaire who is not listed anywhere in any rich list not even in Jordan and so rich that he has to seek investment to build a new stadium because apparently "no one person could fund such and undertaking", so perhaps looking for investors to help buy Tubbs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, that doesn't mean Wally won't make funds available, but with wage caps based on turnover in place will he be able to get quality in if the wage bill has been blown on some bloke who 3 years ago had to get up to deliver post.

Malago Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 It's interesting that none of the 14 players out of contract has yet resigned. Presumably cogniscent of how wealthy the new owner is, constantly bragged about on slagchat. their agents will be asking for 200 - 300% pay rises. The same will apply to potential new signings who will be looking to relieve Mr Wally of some of his lolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are heading for trouble if they're thinking of 3rd party ownership. If the player has any sense, he'll be off to something bigger and better I would have thought. I heard Reading mentioned.

fatchers Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 The gift that keeps on giving. Listening to the gash about their non existent billionaire is like watching Monty Python's Life of Brian. When Wally was quoted in an interview with sunday Independent saying his family are rich,but NOT billionaires, you could here the blue few desperately yell back,oh yes you are oh yes you are. As the Monty python classic shows the crowd gathered in Denial as Brian shouts down to them,I am not the Messiah, the crowd continue to shout back, you are,you are.. As Wally says, he's not a billionaire. That's why he's trying to get a loan (finance) to offload on the non believers. Even with the loan money he will find that financial fair play will give him a good excuse for not splashing the dosh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Miah, I see (according to EP) one of your Leg-ends was injured in an RTA over the weekend. You will have watched him, as I did. My point is ,where does the EP get off calling "LEGEND" on any hobbledehoy who happens to pull on a jesters shirt for a couple of games? I refer of course to the world renowned.... Christian McLean !
