I'm sure the mail just read kipper - we've signed Moutinho about six times according to them... and I fell for it 5 times!

Made it up - that's what people do on here don't they! 31% are the minor shareholders - what doesn't show up as a named person when the percentages are broken down on official/unofficial sites.

or Ferdinand and Heskey - or a combo of any of the 4!

Scholes and Giggs?

Matthew Briggs - he looks decent too!

On that basis it would cost £16m to buy the remaining 31% of the club. Here's the maths... 8754 = 25% so x4 35016 = 100% Club shares value = £52,524,000 on the basis of each share worth £1500 so x0.31 £16,282,440 = 31% Obviously it's not that simple!!!

Jags and Distin doesn't seem to work (in terms of clean sheets) although both being excellent defenders. I think Distin has looked the better of the 2 for a while now but I also remember more costly errors (goal conceeded) have come from Distin switching off rather than Jagielka's poor distribution/dilly-dallying. I actually feel safer with Jags although in saying that Heitinga and Distin did seem to compliment each other - an odd dillema.

Woods 19%, Earl 23%, Carter 2% add Kenwrights 25% makes 69% by my calculations! Why can't someone buy the 31% unaccounted for and work from inside? I need someone with business knowledge to explain this to me!

Hayward is a lot older than Kenwright and was when he let go of Wolves, plus he's a lot lot richer - totally different situations. You can't deny that Hayward is a legend though, been lucky enough to meet him a few times when I was a kid and last year at a Wolves youth players do.

Would you have prefered Johnson stay in control? Imagine if you were blessed to have the money where you're in a position to take-over the club you love and save us from where we were under Johnson's regime! Sorry but you haven't got a valid argument there. Kenwright took over the club and did an excellent job. It's got to the stage though where football has changed and become more and more a money mans game. It is time for BK to move on and he knows that so we will see what happens... I could say "watch this space!"

Teams buy potential though so he's worth a lot more than £15m!

£45,000 a season, wow! - okay you're right in that they may not all sell but probably as they are over priced as we have so few! Most clubs have 50 odd. I stand by this is a stream where we are missing out and it would make a massive difference if we could exploit this avenue. Maybe the Park End corporate development would help. It's obviously something the club have identified too.

I would imagine they would though if they were top notch facilities.

I get what you mean and no I wouldn't sell either and nor would anyone to do with EFC in their right mind, so he's therefore worth a lot more than £15m especially in this current market.

I'd imaging the boxes are bought by companies/sponsors for the season - so it makes no difference if people are in them, they're still paid for. It's not just match day where coporate facilities make money. If you look into what happens at other clubs on non-match days you will see how important modern and plentiful coporate facilities are.

Would you sell him for £15m then?

Nothing to do with a future owner being a fan. Our problem lies with GP not making enough money through coporate revenues (in my opinion). The current owners are trying to address this with the development behind Park End which I pressume is still going ahead eventually? Do we know Lerner was going to buy us a new stadium? Is that what Bill's holding out for - someone who will promise us that?

For what it's worth, my opinion is BK deserved his applause yesterday. He has done a lot for this club and deserves his place in our clubs history. Where would we be if he hadn't done the work he did to take the ownership away from Peter Johnson? That's why I clapped over the boo's - if there had been no boo's I doubt I would have done anything. I want a new owner ASAP - a owner who can take us forward, help propel us to the next level... but so does Bill! It's a catch 22 situation, I think Bill wants to sell to the perfect owner because he's a fan and maybe he's being too cautious with regard to a Lerner type buyer, or Bill wants to sell to someone who will keep him as part of the team (which may not neccessarily be such a bad thing). Regardless of who we get to sell us Kenwright will have the final say. He doesn't deserve some of the abuse he's getting, he and Moyes have helped raise the expectations of the fans in their time here. I think Bill has held on too long and missed some excellent opportunities (Kings Dock being the main one) but I still think he wants the best for the club in the long run and will do what he can while he is in charge.

He'll be a regular in and around the team by the time any team can bid again.

People seem to hang on what this chap says... http://www.thtandlcab-football.com/ThankGodItsOver.html An interesting list of players - wonder if Holtby would be a Jan option?

The booing or applauding?

That's the impression I got in Lower Gwladys.

Disagree, they were bought from a lower division. Maybe Henderson is a comparisson but the most obvious one must be Rooney.

In my eyes no doubt, he switched off and got the wrong side of Agbangawhore. Part of the blame for 1 point over 3 must be put on the ref though. Shocking decision at 1-0 when baines was tripped in the box directly in front of him. But we should know by now that we can't really on ref's... especially a ref with a teenage boys haircut!!!

Basically it was a publicity stunt. The only good was it helped improve the atmosphere at GP yesterday - but it should be like that every game not just because a couple of thousand (if that) 'real fans' went down the boozer earlier and got tanked up for a protest. Special mention must go to the Lower Gwladys standing/singing area - incredible!!!
