The private equity model as you put it has already changed once since they have been here so yes it can change again.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking I am defending Blueco here but I think Blueco out at this stage is a pipe dream.

As for that video and whether or not the selling of an asset is considered an exit or not rather than shares when the shares are generated by the asset may take some legal wrangling I don’t know. I’m certainly not taking Youness’s word for it.

What I do know is you don’t buy something for billions without having a 5-10yr plan and disgruntled fans here and there are water off a ducks back.

My fear is attacking the board as a whole may force them to put their wagons in a circle and unite where as pointing the fingers at those f**king up the football side of things might make them have another rethink.

The SD’s and the manager, those directly responsible for the sh*t I have to sit through every week should be our immediate concern and it’s a battle we can win.

I agree that those charged with the delivery of their model definitely need replacing. Performance and results go hand in hand with financial success and for a blue chip organisation to bet the house on middle of road youngsters with average potential at best in some quarters is suicidal

At least it looks like the penny might have finally dropped that business value isn't more important than winning ...

Or at the very least that the two are intrinsically linked.

Look at this pathetic record against the other big 4 teams in the league since these pricks took over.

Arsenal - 7 losses, 3 draws, 0 wins (embarrassing, shameful record against one of our most hated rivals)

Man Utd - 4 losses, 2 draws, 2 wins (to have a negative record against this era of United is pathetic)

Man City - 8 losses, 3 draws, 0 wins (f**king hell! this is something you would expect from a team fighting relegation!)

Liverpool - 3 losses, 3 draws, 2 wins.

37 Games, 22 defeats, 11 draws, 4 wins.

Good job the Super League isn't a thing, we would probably be bottom of the table.

EDIT: Originally had us on 3 wins against Liverpool, but it's actually only 2 wins.

Where did we get 3 wins from Liverpool?

Pretty sure it’s 2-4-2

I was reading it backwards. So even that wasn't as good. It's 2 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses.

Clearlake are now buying the San Diego Padres for a record amount in Baseball. Any hope that they might sell their stake in us and focus on an American sport?

Padres finalizing sale for MLB record $3.9 billion: José E Feliciano to buy franchise, per report

Interesting thing about that is that the Padres have a heated rivalry with none other than Boehly's Dodgers

I doubt the Dodgers will be too worried when they see who is buying the Padres.

How long till all seats can only be purchased from Todd's Touting Co. LTD. sorry Vivid Seats? Should be a great atmosphere with 8,000 tourists paying £500 - £2,000 each to watch a 0-0 draw or 0-1 defeat.

Beggars belief that they haven't sacked Winstanley and Stewart yet, and there is no point sacking Rosenior until they do, as otherwise this pair of f**kwits will be the ones choosing the new coach again ...

I KNOW I SHOULDNT SAY THIS (IT WILL UPSET A FEW PEOPLE) BUT

WE NEED TO FINISH AS LOW AS POSSIBLE AND LOSE TO LEEDS IN THE FA CUP, THIS WILL FORCE THE OWNERS TO SELL AT LEAST 2 BIG PLAYERS ALONG WITH QUITE A FEW OTHERS, WILL THEY SACK THEIR PUPPET? (I THINK THEY WILL)

THEN NEXT SEASON WE COULD GET RELEGATED, THIS OR GOING INTO ADMINISTRATION IS THE ONLY WAY THESE C**TS WILL GO

In any other industry if you're bad at your job there's consequences.

Then again if you're hiring from your sporting Directors from Brighton & Monaco then you reap what you sow.

So they this weekends results have all bar mathematically established the top 5 and that we will not be in net seasons UCL.

Who will BlueCo sell to balance the books?

There is no profit in Enzo, Cucurella or Caicedo, probable losses or maybe debt clearing at best.

Gusto? Perhaps a small profit?

Palmer? A decent one though his value drops game after game.

Estevao? Now that seems a good shout. I could see a Real or Bayern willing to give a healthy profit on him.

Andrey Santos? There is profit There too.

Most of their signings are losses though so that leaves Reece, Trev and the academy pure profits.

I reckon they will sell Enzo and Cucu. The 2 players who have expressed some dissatisfaction. Caicedo has bent the knee and signed a new deal. Palmer could do with missing the World Cup and resting this summer. If he refinds some form they will probably cash in on him next summer.

Acheampong may be sold if we get a decent offer as he would bring in pure profit. Maybe George too if Everton want to convert him to a full signing.

Josh, Jesse Derry, Anselmino, McQueen.

They're creative when it comes to stuff like that

One of the funniest things I've read in a while. As if he would agree to work with our project and SD's:

Oh I can see them being sold, Enzo and Cucu. I just dont expect we make book value profit on them.

Now Cole, Gusto, Josh, Trev, Reece, George plus the most promising academy kids, those sames can easily cover lost CL money and sale losses on Enzo, Disasi, badi, Garnacho etc.

For 1 season.

Football used to be an escape from life. Now life is an escape from football haha.

They are locked in with each other, but not to the club. All assets and stakes can be sold with the consent of the other shareholders. Pretty standard stuff.

We will probably trade positions with them on Tuesday too.

So bored with Blue Co.
