Good job the ground is not in Havering, their council is on the brink of bankruptcy.

I’m coming at it from a different angle. Peter Freund is friends with Ryan Reynolds. Allegedly it was Peter who either suggested to Ryan about buying a club or Ryan asked him about it. (Happy to be corrected on this).stanton101 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:03 am
Point 3 Merge.
If they thought that we were going to do a Wrexham then they need looking at. For a start Wrexham's a one club city, unlike us who not only have West Ham on our doorstep but a plethora of other London sides only a train ride away. Like it or not in terms of support we are at the bottom of the pile.
Wrexham have at least 6 times our support.
Genuine question Merge - if we got another new owner, who on the existing board would you want to keep?! If new owners took over then the whole lot need clearing, if we don't get new owners (and I'm ambivalent on this) then as a minimum the "legacy" board members need moving on urgently.Auntie Merge wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2023 11:52 pm
6. If we do get another new owner. I hope it is the end of the line for some on the board.
I was being generous by saying 'some on the board'. ;)steeevooo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 3:28 pmGenuine question Merge - if we got another new owner, who on the existing board would you want to keep?!

Their Capri has been loved and maintained over the years, ours has been pumped full of the wrong fuelAuntie Merge wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:51 pmI’m coming at it from a different angle.

Then Ryan goes and buys Wrexham.
It’s like you buying a vintage Ford Capri and your friend sees and also buys a vintage Ford Capri, and you’re happy they’ve done so, as you can now talk Ford Capris together.
Then you discover the Ford Capri that your friend bought was a very rare model and once used in a James Bond film and as well as escalating in value, it also makes your friend lots of extra money as he can hire it out, got to exhibitions, get its own Netflix series.
In the meantime, you’ve still got your vintage Ford Capri and you can hire it out but for a pittance, but it will never be at the same level as your friend’s Ford Capri, the car you encouraged them to buy.
As much as you are happy and celebrate your friend’s success, It would take an extremely strong character not to feel even a touch of a green eyed monster and wish you had bought their Ford Capri instead.
