Title: Takeover & Andrew Fitton Update!
Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Tuesday, January 1, 2008, 17:12:49
Listening to STFC World Fitton says...here are some highlights,


-The embargo should be lifted around the 11th

- Reason for embargo is not clear, We did not get it for breaching a rule, it is because we haven't done something and Fitton will speak to the FL to find out how to get it lifted.

-The takeover problems are going well. 2 are solved, it was just paper work and the other is to do with HMRC and he has a meeting Friday and it should be solved Friday or Monday and then its just a case of signing paperwork again around the 11th.

- Thinks we have a shout at signing Cox, could probably match Reading's low valuation but if someone comes in with a bigger price we are not in the game to sign Cox.

-The issue with HMRC should be resolved this Friday

-Fitton is not selling Brezovan, if someone comes in with a massive bid they will talk.

-Always in business everything has a price but BREZOVAN IS NOT FOR SALE, Fitton will "fight like a tiger to keep Brezovan" and will do whatever he can to keep him.

-Players will not go cheap.

-Fitton is interviewing the potential new manager but doesnt think it is fair to go into it as Byrne's team have done well over the last 3 games.

-Has called Paul Sturrock for advice.

-Dave Byrne is a good coach but doesn't mean you are a great manager, has had suspensions etc when he came in and when players came back, things picked up. Byrne's team has played good football lately so... no rush for a manager.

-Doesn't have a short list at the moment.... has a long list  :soapy tit wank:

Fitton is very well spoken and seems to know his football.

this is the stupid thing about transfer windows. if you can't pick up the best players at the start of the month, you're left with dredges

Thanks Gazza, wondered what he said.

It is inevitable that nothing will move (anager/players) until the takover deal completes.

Agree Batch tbh. I'm very worried about Byrne getting the job now though. Other than that it sounds cool.

I would rather have Byrne as manager and continue how we are doing than do shit and get someone who has to build a rappoprt with players again.

Fair point Gazz but i'm thinking long term. Will Byrne get us promoted? Probabaly not.

Is any other manager guaranteed to get us promotion?

-Has called Paul Sturrock for advice.


He advised Plymouth to appoint Bobby Williamson when he left for the Saints.

I was down in Bude in October at the local snooker club and was talking to the Plymouth fan behind the bar, I was glad to hear he held Bobby in as low regard as I did!
