Take Over Bid

We've proved we can make it to a national final, we are the number 1 side in Essex ! And fiscaley we're even starting to make a profit ?

I suppose it could be either us or Brentwood Town fc

certainly wont be Canvey after a staggering 360 people turned up to watch their first home win of the season.


Yes I know England were playing.............

Oh and no assets belong to the club. So you don't get that much for ur money.


If we move to FF then we can start looking at takeovers ..

This may be true from a pure business decision perspective. But, if you had the odd £500m of assets and were a football fan surely you would not have to think twice about spending/investing £10m in your team. I know I would.

Only 10 million, tight wad, call yourself a fan...

Could that be because, in all honesty, every single Spurs fan is a total and utter miserable b'stard?

We have not heard a single bloody word from Spurs fans this season? Why? Because they've got nothing to moan about. They're only happy when they're miserable.

No wonder Sugar was so unhappy there...

I'd happy for him to be our "Sugar" daddy...

Coat on, out the door...

Not in this office Matt. The Spurs fans here are loving it!

Okay, I might just stretch to £15m although it's probably all hypothetical!

On a related point, I wonder what the Watford fans make of Elton John. Constantly goes on about his love for the club and yet wont pump any of his fast fortune in.

didnt he donate the few hundred grand sky paid him for the premiership commercial singing "are you ready". I know its a drop in the ocean for Elton John but still i should imagine well received

will Alan Sugar be interested again?>

will Alan Sugar be interested again?>

Good question. If you love football then #39I think the answer might be yes. Even though Sugar #45& has had a bad experience he might be interested in having another go .......... after all, I've had the odd bad pint but I keep going back for more. :winking:

And if you can fight your #45&way through the financial mire that Ron has in place then S.U.F.C. might be a good place to consider ...... good catchment area, arguably under-performing and with options for #39development.

And I thought I would add the odd "#39" and "#45&" to blend in ........

P.S. Love the spelling of sane earlier on ....... sain :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

I have said it for so many years ,Southend has great potential for someone with the money and nous,and what with a 25000 seat stadium. put a good team out there and we could fill that stadium every game.Ask yourself why do people from Southend go watch WH, SPURS , CHELSEA ,ARSENAL ETC.Because of the higher standard of football, and realistically it wouldnt cost a whole lot to begin with to get promotions. SOuthend i think would be a very attractive proposition for the right person.I for one would love to see it happen.Come and be Southends SUGAR daddy ALAN , sry for the pun

I have no idea whether this is just rumour or wishful thinking, but it would not be so insane of Sugar. What heavy debt? Oh you mean those created accounts that keep us tied to the whims of our landlords and which can be dissolved as quickly as they were invented. Few years on the stadium lease? Not if he bought it lock, stock and Barrett. No assets? Well the stadium once he has bought it would be an asset. Our landlords can make a shed load developing FF and would undoubtedly have greater problems with Roots Hall. They may well get shot of it. Sugar or anyone else with the money may be shrewd enough to know that we are a sleeping giant (relatively). With the development between ourselves and London in the last three decades we have the potential and catchment to do extremely well and for a fraction of the cost Tottenham was.

Who is this smart arse Rabbloke?:unsure: Mind you he is so right.
