RAWK is crazy at the moment.

If you're not toeing the party line, you're assumed to be delusional or in cahoots with Satan himself, Purslow The Snake.

The fight has only just begun.

I dont want to be on the board or be a self proclaimed spokesperson for the fans. I dont care whos in charge. I just want to watch our lads play football and win games.
The internet makes being a football fan a bit shitter.

If things are to believed, getting 5m for Insua, bringing in Joe Cole, and turning Bwenda into a frothing keyboard licker, Mr Christian Purslow is a fucking hero.

Well, it's a window of opportunity H. Make the most of it I am sure Bren will come around to things soon...... ???

My favourite part of the RAWK thread is the fact they're giving themselves a pat on the back for the recent twitter campaign

amazingly i could create a website and spam every single person i knew or was in the industry i have issues with about my protest
 
I don't want to sit on the fence here, I think he's the physical manifestation of evil and has been sent by the angels of hell to destroy us. I have proof:

Mark 9:1: And he [Cecil] said to them [SOS], 'Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of Woy has come with power'.

Matthew 24:29... 29 The Lying Rag will grow dark, the moon will no longer shine, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers in space will be driven from their courses. 30 Then the sign of Cecil will appear in the sky; and all the peoples of earth will weep as they see the Woy coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 The great vuvuzela will sound, and he will send out his angels to the four corners of the earth, and they will gather SOS from one end of the world to the other.
 
wasn't purslow (I don't get the cecil nickname, can someone explain) supposed to bring in investment to the tune of 100 million? also didn't purslow say that spending was the usual 20m?
despite all that the new sponsership deal is amazing. the jury is still out on him.

Nice impartial tone to the question.

I have no real opinion on him at all yet. He'll be judged on his actions and achievements, I think, and so far he's not really done very much, good or bad, on which to make a judgment.

I didn't think he was the best thing since sliced bread (as lots of people did) at the beginning, just because he spoke a few languages and wasn't Rick Parry, and I don't believe he's the devil incarnate now, just because he sacked Rafa and was economical with the truth re transfer funds. In fact, that's 1-1 as far as I'm concerned, because Rafa needed sacking.

Almost didn't bother whatsoever in this thread, but this'll (^^) do nicely.
 
They needs to get on the blower to the New York Yankees...Why buy Tottenham for 450 million when you could have Liverpool for about the same price?

Why would they? The chairmen get new owners in and get themselves out of the club in the process. They love it here! He is fuckin lovin running a massive football club. His friends are all jealous. HE will hold on for dear life and play out his FM fantasies in real life.

Fuck you Suit!
 
Im leaning more towards the good for our club as he has made us go back on the map with sponsorship deals, etc.

Parry was a fucking tosser and if he were in charge he would have sold alonso for 10mil + dudek + metzelder etc.

Purslow has done nothing wrong as of yet, and he is trying to get rid of the deadwood such as insua, lucas, el zhar, plessis etc and trying to bring in players like J.Cole, Remy etc.

So far i like him
 
Purslow has gotten us record sponsorships. That's a good thing considering our skint financial situation. He keeps us ticking over (maybe I'm giving him too much credit) and that's not a bad thing. He was brought in to shore up our financial interest and get us better sponsorship deals. He is fulfilling his mandate.

Broughton hasn't done anything yet to warrant judgement. The sales process is where he will be judged. Let's wait and see.
 
But he cheeses off our Brendan.

Woe betide those who crosses his path, for whatever reasons, real or imaginable, factual or speculative.

Is it possible to ban words like Cecil and Woy, it's irritating as fuck.

Well he was, and by all accounts had an investor in the bag, but that was just when the Yanks, or the banks, decided to sell lock stock and barrel

was he better or worse than Parry though? if they were both cunts then are we just very unlucky or is (was?) there something or someone else at the club causing the problem?
 
Of course there's going to be more to it than just any one person's input, whether the situation's good or bad. Purslow is unquestionably better at the commercial side of the job than Parry was - the new sponsorship deal and the improved commercial side of the club's operations demonstrate that - but judging his overall record ought to wait until he leaves or until he's spent as long in the job as Parry, whichever's the sooner.
 
He seems to make false promises eg. £20m net transfer spend and finding £100m investment. Im not sure if these are the yanks fault or his own?

People keep banging on about Purslow improving the commercial side of things but isn't that Ayre's job?

I want to make a judgement once/if we get new owners.

If Purslow leaves when they arrive, that's fair enough. If he doesn't, it isn't.

Yes, Ayre's the commercial director, but it's Purslow's ultimate responsibility as his boss to see that he does the job right. The buck stops with the MD and rightly so.

As for those "promises" - well, (a) they weren't and (b) it's well known that he DID find investors, only for Hicks to put the kybosh on any deal. A pound to a penny says that's what happened over the transfer kitty as well.
 
I think any noddy could have found an investment offer of £100m for 40-50% of the club as he seemed to do. It was a shite offer and rightly turned down.
 
The version I read was that there were more than one investor/group of investors involved (two was the number most commonly mentioned, though I did see reference to three once) and that they were after, as you say, 40-50% of the club between them. On a conservative estimate, two of them each putting in £100 mill.for 40% would value the club at £500 mill, which is probably more than it's currently worth.

I don't think it was turned down as such, just the strategy was changed just before it happened, there could be some reasons for that, like for example someone indicating they would by 100%..
What you have to take into account is not the actual share size, but the majority that gives you control.
Hypothetically of three shareholders, two had 49% and the third held the remaining 2%, that 2% could be worth as much as either of the others holdings, possibly more as it gives the holder ultimate control.
That is why no one was interested at doing real deals without a controlling share.
