One for the ages.

The investment rumour is still what I have heard, from other people too, one who knows Healey personally, the MD at a local monster of a company, the one with all of the big blue lorries..

Kurt?

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Fri Oct 20, 2023 6:58 am  

He's not the investor, he's a big friend of the alleged investor, and I am not saying your guess is correct, but his surname starts with a B and ends with a d. Okay then, Kurt is more into sponsoring local RU , unfortunately, and his motor bike racing team.

Close, but no cigar. I used to work with him, I know he lives next door to Phil Edmonds, our ex prop from the 80's.

Healey's wont invest in any sports side in the City - as in their words, "you get no thanks for it".

The refer to Jack Walker at Blackburn - spent big on Shearer, won the league, then things started going worse, and they were petrol bombing his house.

That may well be the case Irregs#6 and this isn't aimed at you so please don't take any offence.
I know it's against the law on here, to post rumours, but I qualified what I posted, originally, with the prefix or suffix, cannot be bothered to look, like the forum experts do, "I don't know it's true or not "and "what I was told". Scott, that barber is good mates with Josh Hodgson, been over to stay with him, and a lot of what he's told me, previously was accurate. He is sometimes right, sometimes wrong, there I said it!

Well I can't say the whisper I heard was anything close to a insider as whoever knows Tony Smith's barber

But Wilf out an end to that...ah well.

I was also told that the club and Carlos were in talks about possibly ending his stay. Again, don't know how true it is, just what I heard.

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Fri Oct 20, 2023 11:12 am  

I'd heard something similar about Carlos, but can't see anything in it.

He's at the shirt launch tonight, can't imagine he'd be attending if he was off

TS did say He's spoken to players still under contract that they are free to explore other avenues away from the club .
