Serious takeover talk

Thanks for that Janey.

 

Is this place full of bullshitting ITK's like Ready To Go ?

 

Thanks for that as well Janey. Sorry I don’t do Twitter.

 

I really don't get why some of our fans do this. Very strange behavior.

For @SunderlandAFC fans who are unsure what i said. I said I can’t say too much but it’s not quite as advanced as people make out but better than 50/50. Nothing is done till it’s done.We will know 1 or 2 weeks.Too many rumours with people pretending to know more than they do

Why bother even signing up to post that man

 

This is the perfect example of how easy it is to interpret things to suit your own 'cause'.

" it’s not quite as advanced as people make out but better than 50/50."

What does 'it's' actually mean, take your pick ....

..... due diligence, agreeing board of directors, share transfers, legal contracts, staffing reshuffle, design of new outfits for ticket office staff, etc etc etc.

50% is just as meaningless ....

.... is there only half a chance it could happen or it is all agreed and the legal process more than 50% completed?

I like Donald but last night was a mistake imo.

It's unprofessional to even comment about a deal of this magnitude in a Blackhill club ...

... it's like Churchill planning the D-Day landings in the snug down the Hat & Feathers.

 

Yeh I think it’s confused people
Problem should have said nowt

 

I think some people just got excited - years of being ****e. The original stuff on rtg such as plane spotting etc was good - it has just turned into a shouty fest. I did think the ALS t shirts etc were daft mind as they were well ahead of the mark. I have enjoyed the snippets that we have got - I believe it was genuinely posted - unfortunately in a board room changes can happen very quickly as deals are renegotiated.

 

An explanation and insight into last night from a level headed mature person .Thank you .

 

No but there is a vacancy for a witless idiot for people to poke fun at ...
... I'm pleased to inform you that you've gone straight onto the shortlist

 

I agree with what you say. To do a talk in last night with things appearing to be finely balanced and knowing that people would only want to talk about that subject was just stupid. By the way thanks for the info to date. It really is appreciated by many.

 

To be honest it is this type of thing that could actually cause something like this to collapse

 

I agree the timing wasn’t great but I suspect it was a bit of a catch 22, imagine the conspiracy theories if he’d cancelled.

 

**** off

 

Don’t know why Donald has put such a negative spin on the takeover. Yes I wouldn’t expect him to announce it’s all rubber stamped but surely he could give the consett group a bit hope. I’m certainly not a ITK but it’s true the O’Brien lad has joined the board , Another lad I know who I won’t name but he’s position is at director level with our sponsors showed me text msgs from wed 18th and thurs 19th fwd from Charlie saying the deal was done.Only last night he was saying it’s all sorted and they’re all just waiting for everyone to be together so they can announce it.

 

Well he certainly did that.

 

Well said Rodger.

 

Thanks for that. Can I just clarify - the bit about other interested parties and due diligence - is it your take that he was referring to previous “other parties” or was it clear he was referring to the past few months??

 

It certainly isn't as negative as It was first reported. They should have put out a bland club statement that negotiations are on going but there is nothing further to report at this time. Then he should have refused to elaborate further and just referred to the statement.
