GUESTBOOK
NOTE: Don't try any funny stuff like trolling, flooding and other such internet-related abuse.
You don't want to find out why.
Nice report as always REPD. The atmosphere was crap today,
absolutely crap.... I couldn't hear any of the chants you were talking
about, and I was in the Holmesdale! I think the main problem was that I
was in the far left of the stand, and all the noise was on the right,
amongst the ST's. I was sat there against Preston - the noise was
awesome. Anyway, I'll get a seat over there for the Boro game, and get
an ST there next season.

I was never worried, even at 2-1 - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 22:55:35 (GMT)
Hash - oops. Forgot to upload the pics. Sorry (doing it now). As for the other comment, I've said much worse....
REPD
I Love 1983 - nice - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 22:42:24 (GMT)
REPD: Good update, but I can't seem to
get either of th epictures. Also and I quote you "the owner of the
ground is a crook and the coveter of the ground is a spivvy wide boy
who sells stolen mobile phones". Are you sure you should be saying that?

Careful REPD, that's twice running you
have used the word 'sublime' in your comments. Next thing you'll be
saying we've abandoned the long ball game to play passing football!

Dr Womble
And I'll be there - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 10:16:18 (GMT)
Jake (again) - forgot to add : why has
MK come up again? Because there's been a changeover in who runs WFC
full time and somebody is sniffing round with a twinge of opportunism.
As I said before, it's somebody trying to stir up interest : if WFC
wanted it then they'd try to keep it quiet.
REPD again
Still cynical - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 09:45:41 (GMT)
Jake - couple of things. (1) I've been
told that up in MK, there is only one "reliable" paper, the Citizen.
The rest are considered jokes. (2) I seem to remember something VERY
similar happening over Dublin after the league slapped that down.
Basically, somebody who has vested interests in the project - not from
WFC - still tries to stir up interest in the thing. I believe that MK
is as good as dead - if it isn't, that's going to make our current
biggest shareholder, the football league and both the MPs for Wimbledon
and MK look absolutely foolish. (3) CK may be the chairman but he ain't
the owner. The BRG meet seemed to me that any "briefing" at the
handover would be "concentrate on Merton". (4) Wouldn't surprise me if
all the players you mention are gone in the summer...
REPD
Cynical, but then you would expect that - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 09:42:05 (GMT)
REPD all the local rags have carried one article or another
i just feel that something is being worked in private with chinese wispers circulating around.
BFJ gone now get rid of Alan UNNimble, Neil Hardley ,preacher boy gayle then the cull will be nearly over
jake
- Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 09:34:36 (GMT)
Jake - these things about the press/MK.
If you can tell me what papers these are from, I can follow it up. As
it stands, there's nothing from MK Citizen at all, and the only stuff I
can find is from the ESS which as we all know isn't exactly the most
truthful paper on the planet.
REPD
Being serious - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 09:24:26 (GMT)
thank fuck its all over but at what
price ,two points i would like to make .1. TOLD YOU SO MK will not go
away more reports tis week linking us up there 2. BFJ free transfer to
a relegation certanty GREAT CARRER MOVE FAT BOY
just like OGEM 50 games before we get a penny .SACK THE CLUBS DOCTORS
cause how can we pay 7m for a crock and every other cunt nos he is a
crock and thus worthless ,Did he get badly injured while he was with us
DID HE FUCK so did we not no about his shot knee ,SHAT UPON AGAIN i
think we should adopt the cub scout motto BE PREPAIRED

Really enjoy reading Your web-site
espesially the match reports.The pictures along side the reports are
great for setting the scene but is there any way to see more of the
fans in the photos or action on the pitch or does that infringe on copy
rights?

So
Hartson's gone any vague chance we might spend the money on a first team palyer rather than somebodies reserve?

FFS, IIRC, BFJ, has gone.
OGEM
ATM ? - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 19:50:46 (GMT)
Don't forget IIRC = if I remember
correctly, IYSWIM = if you see what I mean and the now never to be used
again BFJ = big fat John (Hartson). Oh, and NCCC = North Cheam Cab Co,
purveyor of fine transportation to midweek away games for the select
few (well REPD only ATM). BTW Shorty, ATM is at the moment (as opposed
to an Automated telling machine!). 3-1 tomorrow to us, fine repayment
for the 0-2 last season, the night I first met our webmaster!!

Joining in the acronym game - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 18:35:03 (GMT)
Shorty - OK, here's an abridged version
: REPD - my name. OGEM - Our Greatest Ever Manager, a sarcastic term
used about Joe Kinnear. BRG - Bjorn Rune Gjelsten, ex-chairman, now
director. CK - Charles Koppel, chairman as of yesterday. KIR - Kjell
Inge Roekke, director of WFC. WFC - Wimbledon Football Club. IMO - In
my opinion. BTW - By the way.

excellent article on fat boy hartson.

Whatever WFC do, don't give TB a big
transfer budget... please! To be fair, Williams is ok, but TB did make
some truly awful signings. Given that he spent 1.5 million on Robinson,
and 1.2 million on Holloway... he had the money to spend, he just
didn't spend it wisely.
Dr Womble
TB, a new striker and full back please - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 17:32:57 (GMT)
FL - he hasn't had a big transfer budget
up till now certainly. But as the Lagered Up One has departed, who
knows? I think Pecker was watched by Drillo. Lund was also watched by
OGEM....
REPD
Cold, miserable Morden - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 16:49:24 (GMT)
GBLB: At least TB hasn't wasted 7 Million on a drunken waster. I don't think TB has been given much in
the way of a transfer budget. I thought Karlsson was signed this season. Please enlarge, I don't get that one.
Paul Robinson is the cock up of all time, but maybe now that Hartson has gone to save Coventry from relegation (Heh Heh!),
he will get a chance. Just remember the mess Terry has inherited, he is doing OK. Whats the betting Ekoku scores
tomorrow? We are always very charitable to former players, players who have never scored before/haven't scored in years etc etc.
Florida John
Cold Miserable bloody Dallas - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 16:35:49 (GMT)
Florida J, the players I marked out as
rubbish were all Burton signings. Burton's transfer record at the
moment is pretty poor. Of his signings only Mark Williams is passable,
although I still have fading hopes that Holloway may turn out to do the
business. And before anyone says it, Karlsson was not a Burton
signing...but a legacy of FLo Jo's favourite manager, Mr Olsen.

Flawed - I'm always on my best behaviour

Michael Hughes being a WFC player much longer if what TB is suppose to
think of his extra-curricular habits is true.
REPD
There - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 15:36:10 (GMT)
In your last writings, when you say MH is likely to join Kinnear at Luton, I hope you mean Mick Harford and NOT Michael Hughes?

Dr W - hmm, I was wondering how much
legal shit I would get in if I started outsourcing it. If I start
having to tone my stuff down just to get a pretty buck I'll have to
start questioning my ethics....
REPD
Wonder if fitshaced.com are after soccer-related stuff? - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 10:47:48 (GMT)
Top article REPD - I'm not sure you can
outsource it though, given your comments about bungs etc.... that could
get your ass sued. Only article I've read on the sorry mess that offers
a different perspective... nice one
Dr Womble
I share your thoughts that we are getting some dosh from Coventry - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 10:41:46 (GMT)
Of course, if the North Cheam Cab Co
starts putting its prices up I can raise enough dough to buy my own BMW
:) Couple all this SW19 stuff with my full work schedule ATM and I'm
making JZ look idle - and unlike him I don't have ANYONE take me out to

REPD
In need of a bit of dough, as always - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 09:53:10 (GMT)
REPD - outsource = you sell such contnet
to other sites you put it up as content of interest to their users. 1.
the article is directly relevant to the latest sports news. 2. it is
very well written and balanced, as well as being informed.3.Content
distribution is a key strategy in revenue accruement for making a site
profitable.

Flawed (and everyone else) - aw, thanx
guys :) What - or whom - did you have in mind anyway when you said
"outsource"? As for the ins and outs of the transfer, methinks that
we'll get �5m for it in some way shape or form....
REPD
Just received a nice parcel in the post.... - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 09:37:05 (GMT)
REPD - dude, best article yet on the
Hartson saga and one the best pieces I have read on the web in ages, it
is seriously top stuff - why don't you outsource it and make some dosh?
Flawed
time to further add to the inflation of REPD's ego.... - Friday, February 09, 2001 at 09:03:03 (GMT)
REPD: Excellent update, absolutely
superb. I don't think you or Jonesy get enough credit for this website
stuff. You do it all in your spare time, you gain nothing out of it,
yet you do it, all because of your love for Wimbledon fc. That is why I
admire you, top blokes.

FJ, Fair point !!! Perhaps he may end up
playing for Real Paella or some shit. It is a genuine relief to have
him out, I didnt think I would ever say it, but it is indicitive of his
attitude, throw the toys out the pram when you dont get your way. In
his position wouldnt you have got your head down, banged in 25 goals,
earned yourself an extra �250,000 and got a move to a half decent club
?? It's just sad he choice to eat drink and take the piss out of all of
us. Euell wants a move just as bad and deserves it, I dint like his
antics last season, but he has got his head down, played well on the
whole and scored some good goals. My dream 3 to go down from the PL,
Bradford, Man City & coventry , own goal off Hartson's fat arse
sends that annoying Scottish cunt to the dole cue !! am I bitter ??
Probably, a waste of talent, but at least I can look forward to
watching 11 players in the Dons shirt on Saturday and let led by a
Captain who didnt give a fuck. give the arm band back to Kenny !! Viva
La dons !!

REPD
Fed up - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 21:17:42 (GMT)
Wombling Don: You presume that Hartson
will not have been consigned to the reserves by Gordon Strachan's
replacement or sulking that he is not a PL player. Or that Coventry are
by then paying St. Mirren 5 Grand-a-game to be rid of him.

For me it is like lifting a dark cloud from over the club (well a large bloaty shadow actually!). This club has not
enjoyed anything like the success a 7 Million pound striker should have afforded us. In fact we have stumbled from disaster
to disaster. Its over, lets look forward to the team Terry is building.

Dallas - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 15:06:50 (GMT)

we've learned a very valuable but expensive lesson. Look forward to the
Hartson article.

On The Telly - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 14:38:12 (GMT)
Shit happens. This is the risk you take when you pay 7Mill for a player. We are not the first club to get screwed.
There are much bigger clubs who would like to forget the names, Rodney Marsh, Justin Fashanu and Stanley Collymore.
To name but a few.
Florida John
Its dark and cloudly outside, but the future is Bright!!!! - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 14:29:08 (GMT)
TBH, I don't want to see Hartson do
well. The ideal situation would be that he plays every week, but never
scores. That would do for me :)
Dr Womble
bitter, moi? - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 13:49:30 (GMT)
Dr W - we were screwed from the time he
signed on the dotted line for us IMO. One thing is sure, we will NEVER
sign such a player again, and I don't think we ought to either.
REPD
But at least he's somebody elses problem now - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 13:44:25 (GMT)
So he's gone - for 15,000 a game. That
means he has to play over 300 games for us to get our money back. PLus
side - he's gone. Negative side - we got screwed, big time.
Dr Womble
IMO BFJ will play 20 games, max.... we get sod all - Thursday, February 08, 2001 at 13:32:03 (GMT)
RM - I'm going to try and write an
article on JH tonight, though this little thing called work is getting
in the way. However, I'll say this : the way it's ended is just typical
of the whole of his association with us. I think we were a bigger
laughing stock when we bought him in the first place. There is NO WAY
that we'd got �3m for him under any circumstances. Still, console

It's good that the whole Hartson episode
is over but if the rumours of him going on a pay as he plays deal are
true i'm afraid we're going to be a laughing stock we paid 7 MILLION
for fucks sake lets get at least half back. I just hope there are a few
clauses attached to this deal. What a fucking mess this whole thing is
i think we deserve some answers on the whole situation, I know he's
wages were supposed to be a problem but so much so that we can afford
to just give him away? It doesn't make sense and i think the club
should come out with the truth behind the whole thing but as usual
we'll hear nothing except the rumours that we read on sites like this
and through the media.

With a fair number of Boro regulars out

Agree that GA still looks a bit short of
match fitness, but thought that he battled well against Keith O'Neil
who is a good wing player too. Could not actually beat him that often
but won a fair number of corners. Pecker was quiet again and with him
and Wild Thang on the wings it is a bit of the Smurf tendency against a
pretty big team. Kimble's corners were generally OK (one bad one I
recall) but aside from Williams not much aerial threat (see Smurf
comment above).Worst game from Euell in a long time - no touch. Not one
of Angrymans best either, especially as he neared the box - which was
not that often. Kramer did well against Boksic but lacks confidence
coming forward. Kenny led the back line brilliantly and matched well
with Williams. Wish we had another top CB to let KC lose on the right.

defence was sound. Rumour has it as well that Ericsson was at the game
and Euell was one of the players he was watching, this could be a
reason he was a bit below par trying too hard to impress, must admit i
find it hard to believe that with all the prem league strikers to
choose from he would consider Mr 110%. Maybe a rumour started by Boro
which had the desired effect.

They're not as direct as they used to be but they'll be knocking a lot
of balls in to the big men. It's always a bruising encounter."
"It will be a tough, physical game," he said.
"That's what you expect from Wimbledon, and they won't disappoint us.
Ask a footballer a question and this is what you get - cliche upon
cliche. Which big men do you think they're referring to - Per Karlsson,
Juell Ewell? Don't suppose they are clever enough to be double-bluffing

Here goes..... Roger Mellie - never
believe what players "say". Learnt this from bitter experience. I
believe that if JH is genuine in his desire to stay at WFC, it's
because he can live in the comfort zone here. Yes, Euell still owes
"us" for last year, and I have a long memory, but at least he's making
some amends by putting much more effort in. I know full well he'll be
off when the �� is right....... Dr W/Flawed - agree 110% with JH's
conduct at the beginning of this season. He claims he wants to be
playing. Too fucking late now isn't it? ..... Martin D - hey, get used
to it :) I'm still trying to find the dough to pay Sean Fox's royalites
for quoting him frequently...... FL - funnily enough, there still isn't
much chanting for Mr 110% this season despite his improved
performances. Come to think of it, there aren't THAT many chants for
individual players as previous. Maybe the general conduct last year
still reeks in the minds. You'll have to email me the stuff about
SWBell, and 70s phone practices, to save boring the fuck out of

Martin D
Pergatory - Monday, February 05, 2001 at 13:23:24 (GMT)
Woah - IIRC it was JH who stated after
our relegation he was ready to leave. He then sat down with WFC and
said he would be prepared to stay one season in the 1st division, after
that he would be free to move in the summer. So in effect to start with
it was he who wanted to jump ship. WFC reinstated this by saying that
JH was staying. Then Rangers come in for him, and fair play to WFC they
couldn't stand in the way of such an opportunity, this then signalled
he was up for sale for anyone. WFC then state only 'big' clubs will be
considered. Then from there it goes tits up.
As for Euell, yep last season at the end he was shameful, but he has
got on with the job required, worked hard, even won back favour with
the fans for his performances, even me. Remeber Trond wanting to leave,
now staying and playing different footy to what we saw under Egil. The
point isn't necessarily about JH wanting to stay or go, but more about
putting the effort, doing the graft. Too many lacklustre performances,
letting others do all the work, off the pitch rumours about larging it
etc is not on. What gives him the right to be selected ahead of
Agyemang at the moment? Nothing...
Flawed
here 2 cents... - Monday, February 05, 2001 at 13:17:09 (GMT)
Mellie, Hartson shouldn't take all the
balme, I agree - but at the start of the season, why did he turn up to
training at least 2 stone overweight? He showed his commitment to the
club then, didn't he.
Dr Womble
if you hate Euell so much, why didn't you put him in Room 101? - Monday, February 05, 2001 at 12:21:20 (GMT)
REPD:So as Euell has got his head on
straight, about 10 months to late IMO, he's to be forgiven his piss
poor performances yet Hartson who has always insisted he wants to stay
and loves it at wimbledon is to be forever damned because his form for
reasons bought about more by the club than the player has suffered. I
agree 100% that on current form he is not worth a first team place,only
a fool would say otherwise but if the club hed made it clear at the
start of the season that he was not for sale and meant it then i
believe he would still be banging them in just as he was those first
few months of the season. The whole episode has been handled badly and
is now beyond repair can we really afford to lose a player of that
quality i don't think so. As for Euell when he fucks off i for one will
still remember his major role in our relegation.
Roger Mellie

REPD, most of us are agreed that we want
Harts gone, but I think we are all getting carried away. He was worth 6
million just a few short months ago, and now we want him gone for
nothing. I feel that he is being used as a scapegoat - the fans seem
far more pissed off that we're stuck with BFJ, than with the fact that
we're not going to make the playoffs.

Someone
will buy Hartson, never fear - unfortunately the uk transfer window
closes next month - bye bye Euell.... then who will score? - Monday,
February 05, 2001 at 11:34:04 (GMT)
Roger Mellie - up until now, WFC fans
having been VERY supportive of JH. Too supportive IMO. However, awful
performances against teams like Palace, Pompey and Bolton to name but
three - and the realisation by many people that we're much more mobile
without him - have turned many people off him for good it seems. Euell
has got his head straight again and is contributing positively to WFC -
Hartson isn't. The only thing I may query TB on re: JH is bending over
backwards for him. He clearly doesn't really want him, but until very
recently felt he had to put him in the shop window. Those blaming TB
for JH's problem are totally missing the point. I suspect that those
people are probably still in "awe" at his �7m price tag and feel that
he's some sort of sacred cow. I don't, and now a lot of people agree
with me..... C - no he isn't. And carwashing is great fun (just not in

Getting �1.06 for Mr Fox's backdated royalties - Sunday, February 04, 2001 at 12:38:39 (GMT)
Couldn't possibly comment on unnamed

director impersonators,and persons of a more mature persuasion who
travel in 1st class were included.
The donkey was last seen under the arm of a certain other fan web
site(if that narow it down), we also gave one ofthe inflatables to a
smallchild although I think all the others survived ass did the grass
skirts. Incidentally don't recommend being hit with a champagne
bottle(even it is inflatable) it hurts. Obvioulsy the headache I have
this morng dervices from that & not anything else. Ans you wil be

merry (I was not of course!)they shall rmeain nameless but we were
allowed to sit in 1stclass back from Cleethorpes despite the best
efforts of the ticket inspector to charge us �6.00 extra for sitting in
an enclosed carriage, lets just say he got bored with telling us to go

If the coaches leave at 12pm then we'll should be in Boro by 5pm at the

I have been to Montreal. The French

have details if

Texas roads) Very French. Small China Town OK. Cresent Street for the
trendy bars you love!
The Olyimpic Stadium is worth a look, especially from the air. Big
Shopping Malls out of the cold. Don't stay at the Comfort Inn as they
tried to
rip me off. Overall quite a nice city, though it could be improved by
the removal of the Frenchies.

it's the first game (and hopefully the only game!) assuming the coaches
leave at 9.45 or so, you should be back at the Woodman by 3.00am as the
OSC will not be stopping in any pubs on the way back cos they'll all be

Mordon - oh, I applaud the club
tremendously. But knowing WFC like we all do, the level of promotion
will be (1) one page on the website, (2) little ad in the Wdon Indie
and (3) word of mouth by the UNPAID supporters. Hence it won't be as
popular as it should be, therefore is canned soon after. Methinks that
every fans website ought to charge WFC a token �15 to put such info up,
then they'll start wising up... (and yes, I am fully aware that
everyone is not as mercenary as I am)

thrown at him every 5-6 weeks. But..... all these other relocated (I hate that word) teams, just produce the plans and
get on with it. Example: Everton, they have released details of a new site and plans. Which have been well
received for a club with a long tradition. Discuss!

Well said Kris! Let's get a plot/stadium
and then decide how large it should be. We are not, never have been and
never will be a BIG club in the true sense of the word. But, we have
ambitions which are attainable and softly, softly catchee monkey will
see us with a stadium of which we can be proud, playing football in a
style which we endorse and a team which we adore, achieving results
that are the envy of BIG clubs and a spur to smaller clubs like ours. I
have no interest in supporting a BIG club, but I will always support
Wimbledon FC. Plough Lane - Selhurst - Plough Lane!!

Dr W - and here's where I do my
impression of a broken record. Of course BRG knows that a stadium is
expensive. He's got one eye on the impending closeout of the Selhurst
lease. That's why he's actively looking at partnerships. �35m is
expensive for a PREM club let alone a first div one. Do you not think
that he knows that WFC may *not* get in the Prem? Or, Satan forbid, we
get in the Prem and go down again? I think he's looking at stadia
partly because he has to, regardless of what division we're in. We're
practically getting no money in from SP for a start...
REPD
So, for future reference, it's http://gash.net/~repd/index.html - Tuesday, January 30, 2001 at 11:06:34 (GMT)
kris, I can see what you're saying about
the need to build the "business" up, and that a stadium is neccessary
for that. However BRG might decide that to build a stadium for a first
division side would be too risky, and to cut his losses. If we get back
in the Premier League, we would have the attendances, the sponsorship
etc etc, so I would expect a stadium then. IMO he is investigating
places at the moment, and if we get back up, we'll see a stadium. It
just doesn't make good business sense to build an expensive stadium, if
it won't bring in the revenue.

My big concern about the free coach
offer is a typical WFC problem : how many people will know about it? No
doubt there'll be a little bit on the OS, a tiny little advert in the
Wdon Indie (free, of course), hardly anyone will know about it, few
take it up and the club claim that nobody is interested and will never
do it again. The fact it hasn't already been shouted from the rooftops
by WFC (**not** the fans) fills me with typical pessimism...
REPD
Oh goody, a nice long day in front of this thing again - Tuesday, January 30, 2001 at 09:22:22 (GMT)
West Ham had 99 free coach loads of
season ticket holders and member to Old Trafford on Sunday - what
chance a free coach or two to the Riverside next week for similiar WFC
supporters? Is there a more obscure location/date for an importance
match? With work and school next day for me and my son, the coach is
the only option as presumably you can get some kip on the way back.
Just thought - Middlesbrough fans suffered the same when we beat them
in the Worthington.

BRG will invest if he can see a sensible
return, and not if he can't. At the moment he's building a hotel next
to the stadium in Molde - that's a capital investment if I ever saw
one. Right now he's got a business he paid a lot of money for which is
worth very little. At a new stadium, in or around Merton, that business
is worth a lot more.

Hash, of course he will get more money than if we stay at Selhurst if he invests
in a new stadium, but will the increased revenue justify a huge initial outlay-
you have to speculate to accumulate, but he might decide that it isn't worth the
risk. If we get back in the Premiership, consider a stadium on its way.

Very busy - Sunday, January 28, 2001 at 11:48:10 (GMT)
Dr Womble: You seriously think BRG will make more money lingering around Selhurst
Park than at our own stadium? You can trust me on this, IF WE MOVE BACK TO MERTON
our attendances will increase by about 4000 on average. This season, it would
mean we would have had an average attendance of 11-12000. That will bring in more
money than Selhurst is doing. And he is not going to pay out of his own pocket
is he? �10 million from Wimbledon, �10 million out of grants/loans and the rest
from a partner.
Hash

Re: BRG is an asset-stripper - well, I guess the Financial Times know what

Dr Womble
busy - Sunday, January 28, 2001 at 10:58:47 (GMT)
Dr W - no, of course R&G aren't going to put �35m themselves into a new stadium.
That's why BRG was saying stuff about partnerships. Yes, he may have come in for
Dublin, but he's now ruled it out and is meeting people with ideas for stadia.
That's a pretty good start. Not too sure if it can be proven he's known as an
asset stripper - you should get yourself a good lawyer if you can't prove it -
and as for "we need to be in the Prem to build a stadium"? Well, read what I said
in the second sentence. The new stadium will need to make money, that's obvious.
But the fact that we're looking at three major and fundamental ways of funding
it (doing it "ourselves", building it in a partnership or getting it built by
somebody else and leasing it) is some cause for cautious optimism at least. As
I said previously, too much cynicism may mean being stuck at Selhurts forever.....
REPD
About to be busy ALL day with work so he'll get this off his chest now - Sunday,
January 28, 2001 at 10:39:21 (GMT)
It amuses me to endlessly read "we could do this for ONLY 25-35 million". Get
real guys, the Nogs aren't going to put anything like that in the club, and even
10 million from BRG himself isn't going to happen. Hash, why would BRG's company
invest 5 million... just because he has a controlling interest, it doesn't mean
that he can order the company to invest in the club. Do you not think his shareholders
would be mighty pissed? My point is this - BRG is a noted asset-stripper, thats
how he makes his money, he is also a very canny businessman. He invested money
in a Premiership club that he thought was going to be involved in Dublin. He now
has a first division club. He is NOT going to invest any money in a stadium until
we get back into the Premiership. There is NO WAY that a stadium would be economically
viable as a business investment, until we are back in the money. Trust me, I know.
