A POSITIVE AS I SEE IT

Mon Jul 12, 2010 8:33 pm

The delay in finalising a meeting between the Malaysians and Sam/Langstones in my eyes must be a positive. Initially I thought that if the money problems were an issue then surely they would be dead keen on meeting a major creditor who ever it was, and at least listen to what they had to offer or discuss.

If there is no sense of urgency then that must be a good thing, hopefully they have a plan and a commitment to do whatever is needed and also the funds to do it off their own back. Possibly the delays in wages, and payments to other clubs leading to the embargo is a tool being used to put pressure on some other Directors or Major shareholders.

I have thought for a while there may be a power struggle going on and a case of call my bluff, I just hope and pray the Malaysians are prepared to do it on their own and can fund it themselves, at the moment I am optimistic they can, time will tell.

gwyn

it was always my understanding that the malaysians would be sorting out the bills and debts as and when they came along.
If there is an agreement to pay sam in december then i cant see them paying it until the last moment.
i am hoping that we have still got all our main players from last season is a good thing and not because under the present climate that other teams will not match their current wages.
with regards to the embargo i think this is only in place because of the accounts issue now which has been held up due to the valuation of the stadium.
I certainly think that the malaysians can fund it because they were well aware of the debts before signing up and also the golden ticket fiasco took place when they were in the due diligence process.
going back to one of your earlier posts i can never remember being as flat and disinterested in a forthcoming season as i do know.
i suppose one of the biggest let downs for me is i was hoping a new broom would have swept clean and there would have been a major overhaul of most club departments and in particular the commercial department.
