Re:

I disagree with you GY. My memories over the Kassam era years seem to coincide with DLT's pretty closely. The early years had significant investment for the level we were at (wasn't it 150k for Scott and Quinn? Another 100k for Moody?) and large wage packets for duds like Fear and the Bus. McGuckin...

Re:

I think if you look back at the first period Mooro refers to GY (Manor) your assumptions are completely incorrect. Money invested in Fear, Anthrobus, Arendse, McGuckin, Thompson, Wilderbeest, Quinn, Scott etc (so many I can't remember them all) you can see that during two periods, Shotton and Kinne...

Re:

[quote=&quotMooro&quot]I’ve said elsewhere that I think that the Kassam era falls into two clear parts. The first involved the three main positives that Isaac so succinctly listed, all of which were the resolution of problems of other peoples making and came about despite some obstacles plac...

Re:

I have heard the same story as Mally. But we were sat in the Pub together at the time. I also had it independently supported elsewhere. Still I have to say I appear to have been wrong on my London Irish gambit. Certainly no sign of movement there. Back to Mr Lenaghan. Perhaps he didn't think that R...

Re:

[quote=&quotSnake&quot]Emails from disgruntled fans who’s sole objective was the success or not of a League II football club 100 miles up the road would hardly concern the people at Ally Pally, who had to make a proper decision on who took over there. I’m happy to be corrected (so long as yo...

Re:

a demonstration from the Oxford fans that might have negatively impacted his other businesses and he was off, after all. I think you'd have a job proving a causal link there. From what I understand from people much closer to the deal than me Kassam decided he wanted to do the deal when first approa...

Re:

i suspect that there was a certain amount of underestimating the task on the pitch. we'd just picked up five points from 3 games, and i think the feeling was that it would be pretty easy to maintain, if not improve on, that record. so taking over the club at that point might not have been seen as s...

Re:

The timing of the deal was pretty much all down to Kassam though. In my view the appointment of B&ampB was deliberate too as a final lever. Not sure I entirely agree with this. Merry et al were well aware of the looming transfer deadline and the handful of games remaining, so what drove them to...

Re:

GY: Possibly the most self serving post EVER posted on an internet forum. Another insult and no debate. Well done. Hope you feel better now. I bet you feel very proud of yourself, especially as you had the bottle to do it using your own name. What's that I hear you say? It isn't your own name, not ...

Makes a change for it not to be me :lol: I have to say that if I was told a company had 2 employees, 100 odd K turnover and was listed as high risk by Dunn and Bradstreet, then I would be looking for wealth generation elsewhere.
