Serious takeover talk

Watching Fowler's interview after the game made me think that the timing of the sacking was a shock and came out of the blue
He looked upset and shocked saying it game late in the day. Looks like they were preparing for the game as normal

 

Mags even turning up on this thread now too....

Sad ****ers

 

If something comes of this with MSD either investment or takeover then he will look like a Grade A prick.... but my inner feeling is that ship has already sailed

 

Your probably right but while there is a straw there I'll grab it with both hands

 

Everything points to the decision on Ross being forced on Donald.

Donald is the head of the club, so the pointers are to outside influence.

That suggests it’s very much on.

 

Agreed

Its like when Coleman was sacked before Stu Donald came in

 

I get that this deal may or may not go through!! But are they named as directors/exec on the companies house website??

 

Directors

Telling porkies too! Reminds me of somewhere else.

 

.... and I’ve just got used to the idea that it’s off.

 

No other explanation for me mate. SD just seemed to be frantically putting down anyone who said it was off, none of this "its more than 50/50". I think he knows there needs to be a lot of compromise which at the moment looks too big a gap to bridge

 

That is just for that company and not for SAFC.

 

My logic also

 

FWIW my take on this:

The sacking I think is likely linked to the takeover.

For someone who has put so much time and effort into being "media savvy" and "engaging with the fans", the thought of him deciding to sack Ross and allowing everyone to think he was 'safe' and have him do interviews and prepare the team on the day of a match just doesn't add up.
It's way too reactionary.
Didn't he also say in an interview afterwards that he 'had faith' Ross would have turned it around?
You wouldn't sack a manager you had faith in unless you were being pressured from outside - and I don't think the fans are enough of a pressure group to have forced it.

It can be could more likely be linked to the rumours around the consortium not liking the numbers?

The moment we knew SD was serious about buying the club was the moment Coleman got sacked - because that was Short taking on the compensation and not saddling the new regime with a huge on off cost the minute they walked through the door.

Maybe this is SD 'paying the soft loan back to the club' by taking on the cost of the compensation before the consortium put money into us?

It's all conjecture and assumption but until the truth breaks that's all we can do: wait and guess.

 

no porkies ! just telling you !

at this point nobody knows so how can anything be dismissed on what you simply think is or isn't the case.

time will tell

Did you or did you not tell this forum yesterday you were delighted?

A simple yes or no is all that is required.

 

Amazing that for all they think they are a massive club the only solace they have is taking the pi55 out of a 3rd tier club.
Imagine that being the only bragging rights you have.
It epitomises the bullies that they are.
A win over a fallen giant and they are full of themselves. A long season awaits them. Especially when longstaff senior is transferred and ashley trousers the proceeds.
They are pathetic

 

I think he got a whisper of big news from Safc and jumped in with both feet saying takeover was off, trying to get the scoop. Unfortunately for him the big news was Ross’s sacking. He cant back peddle now as he’d look even more of a tit.

 

Niton is just another mag WUM

 

Usually when the fan theories/conspiracies start flying it's a sign that the takeover is off. Least that's what I've experienced.

If a bid had been lodged it would be more obvious and likely a done deal. So I am probably wrong, And likely it's already a done deal and I haven't checked, But I'm gonna say I think it's broke down.

I think you will be back in the prem either way.
