Potential takeover

[Longfordian]

Club statement up on www.ltfc.ie

Bit of a pointed snub to Roddy in the last paragraph.

[Pauro 76]

he mentioned that he would be very excited about the town having regular traiining camps in jamaica where his mate has holiday interests out there....

That's a great line of bullsh!t from Shoddy. That's excellent. Is that meant to be a sweetener? I really hope the board tells him where to shove his offer. No to Roddy!

[Macy]

Remember lessons from the past - Roddy tried to take over both Rovers and Pats with Brooks Mileson. He was the person who bankrolled Gretna. Gretna might not make it through the weekend, after Mileson became ill and the money dried up. That could've been Rovers or Pats, and we'd be leaving ourselves in a similarly vunerable position.

The dreaded vote of confidence ...

The club would also like to state clearly that our Manager, Aaron Callaghan has a 2 year contract,

Expect Aaron out and Roddy in by Easter

Spot on. Then there's the actual amount of money they were talking about putting up. By all accounts they might be able to come up with 80-100k to put in! The rest of the money for their grand schemes would be raised by their ground breaking new ideas. I know I'm going on about this but it's pi$$ing me off no end. Anyhow, I don't think it'll happen. Even if the committee voted in favour of it which I very much doubt, I can't see it getting through an AGM/EGM.

Im glad everyones really not into this idea. Cowboys with a Ron Atkinson stunt double with a cirque de Surreal of smoke & mirrors. Its like the ad to get kids not to take drugs years ago "Just say no".
Look at the media hoopla our boy with the coat Collins has going round. Send these boys a thanks but no thanks letter & be done with them.
Looking forward to the RSC tonight, you headin down Longfordian?

Actually why is it taking so long to get a bar licence for the ground ? It seems for the last few seasons it was only a matter of time before we got one.

Nope can't make it tonight unfortunately. Hopefully they'll put in a performance and all the brouhaha this week won't have affected them too much.

ltfc-I forget exactly the reasons for no bar licence, I think there was extra building work to be done plus barrister's fees tp gather together and the licensing court is only on infrequently too. Must check out exactly what the story is

Was watching a programme about a Grange Hill reunion of the kids who sang
the "Just Say No" song and went to America to meet Nancy Regan as she
was a big anti-drugs campaigner.

Apparently there were a few of them off their heads when they were singing
it live on US TV

Marty, I'll go to Jamaica for pre-season friendlies with ya if yer up for it!

I'll hold you to that sligoman!

[sparkey]

I see Dolan is stirring the **** in the star today saying that the league and LTFC need "big personalities" like Roddy involved with them. Also basicly saying we should be grateful to the McMullens for wanting to invest in us. The Fcuking Pr1ck.

VOTE NO TO RODDY!

Typical Roddy bull****. I hope Longford steer well clear.

[Dodge]

Their "offer" to Pats was about 1/10th of what we were worth, and when told that Richmond park couldn't be part of deal, Mileson walked away...

As i have said before, asset stripping disguised.

I can imagine the guff that clown was coming out with.

"Hey.. I tell ya.. a club like Longford...they need people like Roddy Collins involved..the Champions League..that's where they want to be..that's what their fans demand..".

[Salmon Coloured]

Exactly. These urbane type people still seem to think that we go round the place throwing pigs to one another. Anyway will somebody ask Pat Dolan if he wouldnt mind giving a drink to the horses the Collins Cowboy consortium left tied outside Flancare Park when they visited us.
Well said Max Power, asset stripping in disguise. NO.

They put in 80K, yet how much is the land itself worth. Macy was right when he said all lands should be signed over to the trust.

[LTFCfan]

Prayers answered!! Shoddy says he's not coming!!! (at half time on rte2) Obviously He got the message he wasnt wanted, himself and mcmullen are off to gretna, god help dem!

[Longfordian]

Great news. I've said it a few times but they were offering nothing anyhow. Liked the way he mentioned the Supporters Trust not wanting him. Join the trust if you can at all, keep the likes of Roddy out.

guys this is where you sign for the supporters trust. I know there was reservations in the past about the trust but this is only six euros a wk and for that you are a member of the club and get invited to vote at potential supporters trust meetings and agms of the club.. ronnie b can vouch for that... he only joined the other day...

imo this is definitely worth joining it was thanks to the trust that this move didnt happen.. you may be surprised...
