Insurance is a rip-off, that's why the more unscrupilous in society, rip-off the insurance companies.....So, insurance companies then raise their prices.....etc, etc. I have insurance for most of my assets, but I've not claimed on anything for as long as I can remember....I suppose I'm a fool.

I dont know what he offered S&J and I dont know what his strategy is, but I do know he has bought many companies including some much much bigger than NCFC. I dont believe he wastes his time and I am sure he has not gone away. My own view is that I dont care who owns the club, but we do need owners who can move the club forward, the current ones obviously cannot. This is going to run on.      Report

"lowest of the low"???? How melodramatic. I thought it was him that came along, announced to the press that he'd offered 20m even though he hasn't and then sat back and watched the fireworks? The only person that's "using" the "best fans in the world" right now is Mr P Cullum. Don't fall for it. If he wants the club, he'll get the club.    Report

Really? Isn't the insurance business set up in such a way to take in as much of their customers money as possible and then set up an infrastructure that prevents giving back any more than they have to? Isn't that what some of the posters on here are claiming they are unhappy with in respect to the current majority owners?    Report

Yeah, of course. I'm sure you didn't even notice Cullum's mention of 20m, you just started salivating at the direction and steel he'd bring. Meanwhile, back on planet earth.... Theres a difference between wanting something better than the current board (which I think most fans would) and giving the club away to an insurance man no questions asked. And no questions are being asked. Hence why despite not making an offer for control of the club, everyone seems to have decided that Delia wants 150 squillion quid in unmarked note dropping off at Stowmarket before she'll even talk. The more intelligent amonst us are reading between the lines and thinking "Whats his bloody game, then?" My apologies..... When my arse starts talking next I'll try to communicate better with you...... I see. Well, Cluck, we have a few spare guided missiles sitting around so, if you will be good enough to provide your address, we'll send you one gift wrapped. We won't concern ourselves with which end of your anatomy we target as your output from either end is remarkably similar. I'd save those missiles for your next invasion plans Yank....and being the male of the species I fear I'll never have the right equipment to communicate with you........    Report
