Approach for the club

Involving a certain Chris Lumsdon. Come on Lummy what’s the craic?

Go on Lummy son well back you to the hilt. Is laffy involved

Is it supported by the club, or are the analogue three manning the barricades?

as Long as the current owners are gone completely, there have my full support. Things can’t carry on the way they are.

Businessmen will need to be named, but it’s definitely the way to go - not relying on one person.

Interesting times

Nixon will be holding a meeting with Jenkins and Pattison trying to come up with inventive excuses to knock it back.

“No pot to piss in? Done that already... mystery billionaire? Nah done that as well. We’ll have to think of something else, my football league role is at stake here.”

Hit the nail on the head there crunch, Nixon will be frantic.

Needs to be done very publicly with no where for the three amigos to hide behind their usual secrecy.
Any move to take over the club should be grabbed with both hands.
Any more of the present set up and it will be to late to save the club from obscurity.

Anyone know much about Steve Skinner? What’s he doing these days?

Indeed. It clearly wasn;t the Club's decision to go public.

They were probably outflanked whilst they were scribbling out another Non Disclosure Agreement

Funny what happens when you have to spend your own money.

I’d keep Nixon on to the end of the season, gardening leave of course, if it meant he could finish his stint S league 2 rep then bugger off.

Nixon has had to put 100k in and I imagine it’ll be much more this season. I think he may agree to a sale.

Wonder if Phillip Day is one of the business men

Is Laffy the investment broker?

Come on Mr Day, tell the board to do one.

Really hope that this is a well worked out serious approach that can't be blown away.
And that unlike other approaches they won't give up until they succeed.
Nothing that falls short of getting shot of the three incompetents will be acceptable no more investment just a straight forward takeover.

I’d be surprised if Philip Day has anything to do with any of the takeovers. Surely his position is now strong enough, ie he’s invested enough money and holds the security to back it up, that he could just demand repayment tomorrow and thus takeover without any real resistance.

Suspect the approaches alluded to will be entirely separate although Day could be the stumbling block

House restorations.

The 3 CLUBKILLERS have to be ousted and with no further involvement whatsoever for me to back ANY takeover. They have ruined CUFC and should be treated as such.

Go on lummy lad. Could be the best news we have had for many a year. Can't see the 3 amigos giving up easily though.

Once upon a time it was a curry house waiter from Dumfries

Now it’s a window cleaner from West Aukland

I'd rather not have anything to do with anyone connected with "Celtic Nation" thanks very much.

I prefer the current owners.

Hi all, bit gutted the news has broke as managed to keep it quiet for a while, but like most things it usually gets out so we have had to respond.

I’ll discuss it today from 2pm, not all of you will get the answers you want as there are procedures and scenarios and people wishes that I have to respect.

What I will say is, I know what the majority want, I know what is needed, I would not put my name to something that was not serious or have the clout to do it.

My little girl is going to grow up in Carlisle, so I want this to work, we will try, we might fail, but in the end the whole truth will be told.

We have to respect some wishes for a certain period.

Well said and all the very best of luck.

Tarred and feathered or is that not enough?

Here's a warning for us all about this "approach".

www.bbc.com/sport/football/32514189

Agreed, not ideal going public but it was going to be reported so instead of people speculating who the former player is I admitted it was me.

It’s local business men as reported.

Lummy _ Hope you`ve got a thick skin and prepared for the abuse on this board.!

So from what he’s just said it’s in EWM’s court now

Great respect Lummy , best news we have had since Laffy made his attempt to rescue the club. Just hope this one succeeds.

The bloke who runs the Keswick launch is spearheading it

At least he`d keep the club afloat.

I’m prepared to let you decide who’d do the tarring or feathering so long as I could do one or the other.

He must have made a few bob with 3
lions.

MAY 2014: Celtic Nation chairman Skinner told the News & Star: “I can guarantee 100 per cent that there are no financial issues with the club"

MAY 2015: Club fold.

Nail on the point, Nobby.

Lummy if your successful bloody hope so you have my support who will be choosing the manager clowns in charge now or your group

Bit scary. Hope he's not stringing along Lummy

Best scenario,Phillip Day wants more involvement and invites local business men into club with a fresh board.

Then no need for me.

Good luck Lummy. We all want the best for the club, and the hope of something greater.

It will depend on who the business men are who are a part of the attempt.

Love it Lummy. Best of luck with it all.
I'm praying you all succeed here.

I haven't been to Brunton Park for over 2 years, preferring away games only, as I won't give the reluctant custodians anymore of my money.
If this comes off I'll be first in the queue for a season ticket.

Wishing you and your consortium the best of luck with your investment offer Chris.
Hope you still have your boots cos your gonna be kicking against a lot of pricks on this journey.

Good Luck.

Don't be so hard on yourself Alan. You're harmless enough.

Not to fussed about what Skinner has or hasn’t done previously, I trust Lummy, if he’s putting his name to it he believes in the group. - he’s a fan who cares about the club as much as us.

Firmly believe he won’t do this NDA - b******t, so the truth will come out if the custodians act dodgly.

So in the meantime let’s get behind, people trying to turn our club around.

And if need be try and force the custodians out.

All the best Lummy, we're all behind you. COYB.

Fancy spoiling another one of Jenkins Christmas, no shame

He's spoiled the fans Christmas's for the last ten years.
