The kid saying it's off is going off a rumour that was started on here earlier today which the 'journalist' then admitted he had got it wrong. It's so easy for rumours to then become fact. How many times have you heard the term 'they reckon....' and it always turns out to be ****e

I'd say its quite reasonable tbh.

In my case its not just a defeat, it's conformation that Ross has produced an outfit without fight, teamwork or any chance of automatic promotion.

What makes it worse, for me, is that I said that as I trudged out of the play off final.

It's the fact that I talked myself into giving Ross another chance that makes it worse.

Peterborough, Bolton and Lincoln were absolutely rotten in every way ...
... the final straw is always the hardest to bear.

I posted a thread "Cheap Jack and his Cheap Mates" parsnipped immediately. I posted a few cheeky ones after just to gauge the North Koreaness. Nee surprises.
 
@Smug in Boots

Would you care to do a quick post recapping the latest news for us who aren't upto date? I.e what's been heard today etc, WhatsApp, london meeting... cheers boss

I'm lost now like! Are you just thinking "on" because the WhatsApp wasn't fully accurate, or have you heard something since then that makes you more certain? Bloody Netflix could do a series just on this takeover!

Read my post from this morning mate.

It was simply an example of the ****e I'm having to sift through every day.

I didn't attach any credibility to it but some people use it to claim I said it was off.

I didn't say anything of the sort.

Must admit, it does piss me off that instead of discussing the takeover (something we should all be interested in), a lot of posters seem more interested in **** stirring and pointless personal vendettas against posters they've never met. I've seen over the road another lad getting grief for posting what he's heard, I've spoken to him on PM (he messaged me, I'm not one who goes randomly asking people for info via PM!) and I'm certain he's been posting in good faith and he's just getting pulled to pieces. No wonder people tend to just message a few rather than posting for everyone. It's a shame because most like reading it and will take it for what it is, but some just can't help themselves

I get them every day from someone or other.

I've had threads of legal action, pm's with news of the takeover collapse and general abuse from various people.

If I posted everything I'd need an office and staff <laugh>

Chill, it'll happen or it won't. We're no further backwards if it doesn't and we're hopefully much further forward if it does.

Say the takeover gets over the line in the next week or so and we get rid of JR which appears to be the main consensus of opinion on here and the new owners bring in their man, he has till January to work with this squad of players which has been roundly slagged off from keeper to centre backs, centre midfield and both main strikers as unfit for purpose then what do fans expect the new manager to achieve with this underachieving bunch of players.
By the time he can add or get rid of players the season is half over and our promotion hopes have gone up in smoke then what do we do as we're facing a third year in this league.
We might get lucky and the new manager gets a response out of this squad, like Lincoln did on Saturday or Bolton are currently doing by getting improved performances and results then we might just rescue this season after all, however I for one won't be holding my breath.
Personally. I think the takeover has derailed our season already, JR is managing under a handicap and the players aren't sure what their futures are and being modern self centred footballers they fail to see the bigger picture that trying their guts out might just secure their futures.
Just a few thoughts whilst I've got a spare ten minutes as it's very quiet at work. Tin hat is already in place.

I've thought that for sometime, not all Ross's fault or doing

See where your'e coming from but Ross and his sub standard backroom failed last year and they aren't looking at anything different this season. Google Ross and his assistants and tell me why we should expect anything more - they were cheap - end of.

At the minute we’re sleepwalking under Ross. There’s no organisation, no plan, no leadership, no ideas and a lack of fitness. We’re already 8 points off Ipswich, at this rate by January it’ll be 15.

A new manager coming in will have the same players to work with yes, but may bring in some of the things we lack mentioned above, as well as giving the players a boost/kick up the arse. In January we may still be 8 points behind, at which point we can hopefully flex our muscle and splash some cash and get promotion.

A new manager is an absolute must, takeover or no takeover

I'm sure most of them are just pubescent kids on their first hit of testosterone
