Serious takeover talk

Said exactly the same mate and only posted as people were clearly either getting a wrong message or reading into things without the context of being there

Cracking night, thoroughly enjoyed it cheers to the branch for organising it

 

I hope so. The negativity is more that he suggests that it is not as far down the line as we thought and they haven't got as far deciding who is going to run it! I suppose my expectations of it being close is the disappointment.

 

I think he was just giving the "calm down lads, let's not get carried away" message as this process continues to move forwards. That wasn't a negative message, just a reality check.

There was nothing he said that worried me.

 

Did anyone ask about the performance of the manager, coaching staff and recruitment staff?

 

Thanks for your point of view Ned. A very balanced and straight forward summary of what could have been the only way the night will have gone in fairness.

 

I don't take everything he has posted as gospel but believe my command of the English language is good enough to differentiate between what he has said as a) What he knows as fact b) What he has been told by a trusted source c) What he has been told by a less reliable source and d) What he thinks will/might happen.

I find it quite sad that some others can't do the same and immediately see everything he has posted as fact then, invariably, are amongst the first to call him a liar.

Maybe they need to try progressing beyond Janet & John book 1!

 

More so the manager, nothing really on coaching and a little on recruitment.

Backing the manger, agrees the football hasn't been the best. Slow start this year, five wins on the belt, a couple of points from automatic promotion. Nothing controversial.

 

Aye, because he didn't say it's on, or just about done it's all a load of poop and certain people are full of it, we know how it works with a certain section of our fans Janey.

 

I'm not particularly worried by any of it but I am a bit disappointed.

If you take this takeover as being absolutely huge for the club and that we desperately want it to happen, then its natural there will be disappointment when in our world it goes from a position of announcement tomorrow to 1 to 2 weeks away and it might yet not even happen.

 

'Once I agree a deal'
So the deal is done.

 

So SD posts on twitter and to me they look positive and should shut the doubters up, but I doubt it. I’m more happy about it now than I was before because my interpretation is that it’s very close but NDA’s mean he can’t say too much more.

 

No it means it’s off.

 

As I have said before and certainly Grumpy will agree these takeovers can change at the drop of a hat - they can be on/off/on and as the deal gets closer there is often further negotiations/changes - it is quite common. they can (and I hope not) fall through minutes before completion. I still feel (and that is all) this is quite a long way down the track - it doesn't mean stuff is still being ironed out. Information has been given in good faith, too many people are quick to shoot people down without knowing anything about the process.

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

After reading that report, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that MSD and SD released that as a nice **** you after the initial Kenyon report yesterday but made to 'look' like it's another report about their takeover. Could be a very well thought out tactic taken straight from the Sir Alex Ferguson school of mind games...

 

Went to work buzzing, then seen all the negativity flying around when I was on my break and ended up gutted, but Reading Neds post and Janeys posts with SD's tweets has cheered me up again. Just sounds like a lot of info has been twisted by WUMs.

 

Thanks for the update. Fingers crossed all goes well. Cheers

 

Spot on! Nothing to be negative about. It's unbelievable the negative spin that has been put on things. Stewart has clearly put those tweets out to shut down the negative comments without giving anything away.
