    He won't answer anything, I'd be surprised if he makes any direct contribution towards the forum at all - as in regular posting or posting full stop.
    Something I know for sure is that he'll be intimidated by about 90% of this forum who were Juventini before Ibrahimovic joined the club..what can he possibly say to them?

    Fvcking bullys :D he must be scared to post now
    We're not bullies. He has the audacity to buy this place and not have the decency to make an appearance beforehand? What, he had better things to do than get to know this place better..maybe a month or 2 getting in on the action here would've given him an improved idea of what he's getting himself in for.

    He can do whatever he wants. He dosent even have to register on here. Its his site and we gotta live with it. As long as he isnt a total prick I see no reason to hate on him because of how big a fan he is.

    Just think Martin (original) might have taken a chance here because he dosent like the forum as it is now. Well call me ignorant but that's selfish. He was selling the site because he didn't like it. The members liked it so it must have been ok. He has sold it to someone who he thinks can improve it to how he would like to see it. That is silly. Shoulda done it himself or left it as it is.

    Seriously... however this may come across... i opened this thread solely with good intentions... so he could know peoples concerns and have a basis to start from... and of course an easy way for us to get to know abit about him...

    This was in no way meant to intimidate, bully etc etc

    I welcome this guy not dislike him... As i said before his bid looked pretty good to me... obviously i havent seen the other bids so cant comment on them, though as i said i think muscolino would have done a good job as well

    Sure, this isn't primary school; he won't be flamed because he's not as 'big a fan' as such-and-such..but I still question his intentions with the site, I think it goes further than a 'hobby', more of an investment than anything else.

    Personally I would've preferred to have a member who actually posted on the forums and is familiar with the community (read Muscle). While our new owner may have read through the forums extensively, it's nothing like actually interacting with the crew here.

    I'm actually surprised that Martin went for the dark horse in this situation, because he seemed awfully concerned about how much the new owner would care about the forum. Call me a skeptic, but I have a bad feeling that someone who isn't attached to this forum purely for sentimental reasons won't dig in when the going gets tough, especially since his support for Juventus seems to be largely based on whether Zlatan stays with us for a long time or not. In any case, I'm sure Martin M. would have thought this through and didn't just make a rash decision.

    I guess it's too early to make generalisations though, and he had his reasons for making a bid on the site. I guess I'll have to wait till I get a chance to speak with him before drawing any more conclusions though.

    You people make him seem like some rich brat

    Oooh a website, I got some, but i want more!!! MUAHAHA!!! I'll buy it, burn in, and upload a movie when I have sex with it!!

    Seriously, I don't think he would pay 1 grand if he wasn't comitted to it.
    Gray you think there is a risk he'll kill it as soon as things gets boring, I don't see that happening. He run an updated slipknot website for crying out loud, how fun can that be. :D

    And concerning why he hasn't been answering your calls, could be because of its in the middle of the night, and Swedish people has to work. :D

    I hope this new Martin isn't a Zlatan fan more than a Juve one.

    I have a few questions of my own(pardon me if Paul's already posted these, I got through half his list before I gave up):

    Are you primarily concerned with the technical aspects of running the site or would you get involved with member interaction, footie discussions etc.?

    How do you,as the new owner, plan to run the forums (which are the heart and soul of Juventuz) while tackling the fact that you have little knowledge of the goings-on in the forum and know practically nobody here?

    *Important*How are you planning to allocate your time amongst your many websites?From what I've heard from Martin M. it takes a good amount of his time, do you have the time to run this site to the best of your ability?And if related problems arise, would you pull the plug on Juventuz as compared to your other websites?

    Have you used any of your other websites to make money?

    How much power are you willing to give to the people of this forum?In other words, will you release us from this autocratic monarchy that Martin's established?:D

    I will answer all your questions when I get around to it. I have other things to take care of for the time being. Plus, I have a few more meetings with the former owner Martin.


    Thanks


    :cheesy:
