Omar, cus they said when they took us over they were going to make us in to a 'golbal brand'.

Wassa, yes I was disappointed and frustrated too when Moxey left but I don't really see this as 'asset stripping'!!

Wassa, you're starting to make yourself look daft. GSE bought Moxey. Asset stripping is when you buy a business and immediately sell anything worth money. It's a bit like buying a car for its parts rather than to drive it. Selling a player you bought is, um, normal football practice!

Wassa if your comment "like I've been saying for the last couple of years is all GSE want to do is asset strip" is true then they must be the most ineffective asset strippers I've ever seen in business! And I've seen a few.

Is everything rosy and our future secure? Of course not. Yes injuries could get see us plummet. More likely we could be condemned to a few more years of mid table mediocrity. There us a chance though that things are on the up.

I really don't see a better path. RDM isn't going to be lured here to replace Nigel!!!! There are few Championship managers I'd swap him for (we're it even possible). On the owners side there simply isn't a long queue of rich investors ready to buy out GSE.

I don't want Clough or GSE out because a) things really aren't that bad and b) alternatives are more likely to be worse not better.

Peeder I must be silly staying away from Pride Park for the last couple of months along with the other 5000 plus. Did they sell the catering rights? All I'm going to say is, I talk to players!!!

I just want to say this to the Clough out brigade. Alot of the young players are praising Nigel to me, in particular Hendrick good night!!

Strett, for what it's worth I think they invested @ 50M but have bought it down to around 31M through 'cost cutting', sales, and merchandising etc.

That's right Redrebel. Just over £25 million repayable within 12 months and £17 million repayable over 12 months (including £15 million mortgage on the ground). So in spite of all the cost cutting they are racking up debt quicker than we ever did.

Sounds like you Rams might do a Portsmouth if you don't get promoted soon

Not inconceivable Omar but, thankfully, our owners (the investors - not GSE) are multi billionaires also

Omar

If the chief executive's credit card bounces, then I'll start to worry.

Is it true they got Lee Camp to do some washing up to pay for his room when you played Brighton? He also had to pay for the plate he dropped. Well, he has been out of form...

"How many people make up a brigade?"

Rickytheram2 - usually between 3000 and 6000, although it is an outdated term.

Bob,
If your chief executives credit is so good,he should have no problem paying off that £1.8 mil you need to find.

We are going on John Percy stories right

No, because that included the acquisition costs of the club (purchase of the shares themselves), which is NOT debt. The club were more than 50 million in debt when the Amigos were forced out, and that debt was not wiped off anyway.

Clearly you haven't got a clue about finance, but seeing as you haven't got a clue about much else, that's no surprise.

Not that outdated Eddie.
The Army is still structured into Brigades and Divisions.
Locally, with HQ at Chilwell is 49 (East) Bde commanded by a Brigadier. It covers the East of England from pretty much The Thames to The Humber.

Ah, thanks Rameses. Do they still deploy by brigade now?
