Serious takeover talk

[Magnus]

I think now though we can all agree this takeover/investment is ever done or off no middle ground now

no way would he be sacked in the middle of discussions something has happened in the last few hours hopefully good news but I’m not so confident as I was a few weeks back

 

[Blyth_bucaneer]

There will be some on there absolutely loving this......

Sad but true.

 

[6inarow]

I read that as investment and Alladyce in as manager now with a full takeover when we reach the premier league. Not sure Alladyce would come to us in league one myself but I suppose it depends how much we are willing to pay him.

Allardyce would manage Jossys Giants for the right price

 

[Brainman]

off topic mate but **** me, that ginger kid is one ugly little skip rat isn't he?

Looks like he might play the banjo.

 

[RedNWhite4Life]

Don't forget the wine

No doubt with more duty free wine than he should have.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Mags champagne on ice now. Best thing tohappen to them since the League Cup final.

 

[TonyG]

Same here mate.

This is all madder by each mad day. I'm being told now that it'll be investment at first, Allardyce in and a takeover when we reach the PL. They want SD to do all the donkey work then put their own people in later rather than sooner. I suppose, why would anyone want to trudge around Fleetwood and Accrington tbh. An investment of a few million would be all it takes to sack Ross, bring in someone capable and get us promoted.

This info was from a mate BTW, no one connected but he's had times when he's been right.

I would take this at the moment, even a slight association with these guys would be a positive

 

[Billy Batts]

When I saw you had come over had a look at how many viewers were on

Been trying to get on for days. Smug in boots sorted it.

 

[Left For Dead]

Full day meeting on Wednesday. ****s sake.

I had some news today that there will be an announcement this week but it is not the one i hoped- i wont say what but i will state the reasons of concern to Dell:

-the projection for SAFC to get back to the premier is now longer since talks began due to our poor performance

- a very volatile customer base

- that the potential had been’embelished’ regarding the academy

- roadblocks on development around stadiums and hotel

- other clubs have now been in touch



So on short, they feel they have been misled by Donald on potential and they also found some undeclared numbers in the books-

NOT saying its off- im sure Donald will be on his knees now but when i heard about Ross soon after the news i heard all i thought was damage limitation and Donald has taken his frustration out on Ross- ie if we were doing an ipswich it would have been an easier sell-

If this ends up being true- its basically Armageddon

 

[Simonside le bon]

Ross wasnt as bad as everyone made out though. It'll be tough to attract a good manager. Hope we do though.

What you been watching all season (and last)

 

[Sheep Farmer]

So Allardyce is going to sit around for nearly 3 years (Minimum) and wait for us. In the meantime, the manager who gets us to the PL is given the sack....for getting us to the PL.

Sorry, but thats bollocks.

doesn't necessarily mean that. might mean BSA in now then more investment when we reach the Prem

Edit: Sorry SEB all over

Your type aren't welcome around these parts.

 

[Roker Mackem]

What you been watching all season (and last)

A team that barely lost (third only to Liverpool and City for least games lost) and almost got promotion.

Yes I agree his time was up but not as bad as made out.

Why what was the problem ?

Some of that goes against what Donald said in terms of excellent feedback concerning due diligence and no skeletons in the closet. If it's true, he's in for a rough ride!

I'm clinging to the hope it's all done, hence the Ross sacking.

Anyway well done Smug

Hmmm if that's true will soon find out if we get BSA.

Bloody hope it is he would get us back, doubt he'd come though unless he's been assured of investment.

Could work both ways that though they still do full take over SD stays on for say 5 years then they fully takeover while investing in meantime.

What you are saying here is completely my view. But I’d rather it all come out in the wash than just be alluded to an a public forum.
I always thought our current predicament on the field could have had a bearing (please don’t use our volatile fan base as an argument they should know we are a passionate bunch). The biggest thing that concerns me is the possibility that the numbers weren’t adding up and there were a lot more financial skeletons in the closet than first thought. Big time investors don’t miss a thing. I just want it all over with and see where we are after the dust settles
