    Thread title says it all, ‘Serious takeover talk’, yet every other message is, ‘eeeee hiya hun, I’m new here’.
    I realise I’m posting another off topic message, but if it prevents the next 20 hiya messages, it’s worth it.

    I dont think its that fella .I just think they cannot believe its true and are desperate for concrete information to lay their fears its a wind up!As of today there has been no concrete information and if there was many on rtg would probably put into one of o'breins skips!

    The forum is in a state of flux mate and will settle down.

    It's not really up to you, or anyone else, to dictate what people post, the Mods will take care of it.

    All you'll do is cause arguments and there are other forums that encourage it for clicks.

    Fair enough mate. I’ll live and let live.
    I was just hoping to be able to click into the thread and read updates or opinions on the takeover and not have to wade through loads of daft messages to see the latest crack.

    There’s even a newbie thread for people to introduce themselves..

    You do know Donald, the current owner, has said these people are taking over and they've registered a company with the SOL as the address though?

    There's an update that the BBC are now openly discussing the takeover with our players though.

    Perhaps people would like to read your opinion on that rather than see you posting attacks on people for what looks quite harmless.

    It's not just a reading library tbf.

    Barnes would've taken the chance to say 4 days, to appear well informed, but he didn't.

    In fact he'd have repeated it all night tbh.

    The BBC wouldn't just accept a mumble from a bit part reporter as something worth repeating nationally imo.

    Agree with that, especially seeing as nobody else in the press have ever been specific regarding timelines

    Until tonight no one, with any credibility, has put a date on it ...

    ... not even the club.

    It'd certainly be a lift if they announced it on Saturday.

    Hopefully there's some truth in it. Been hanging out for the announcement for what seems like an eternity

    Probably best if you ignore everything I've said and just wait for confirmation.

    I've an idea that nothing I could say would convince you and I don't fancy being interrogated tbh.

    I'm not being rude, just don't want my joy at our takeover being spoiled.
