Serious takeover talk

not suprised bonny lad, your head must be all over the place with all this.

 

I'm so sorry. I'm probably wrong, if it helps?

 

Pre game press conference out of the way I think?

Would be a great time to announce it

 

3.00 pm if I was a betting man.

 

What fact's were they?

 

Sounds good to me

 

Spot on......if they deliver the right thing with this,they deserve huge credit. By the way,is that a hope with some substance to it...or just a random wish?

 

It looks like Brexit will happen before this takeover... who would have thought

 

Tbh I always thought it may be after then as they may save money on currency exchange rate if the pound loses value.

 

When it is announced, I hope the spotlights come back on as a statement to the surrounding area.

 

Haha no probs..hopefully we will see soon enough!

 

It's another typical Desfartes post. Ignore him. He hasn't changed one iota. Didn't take long for his mask to slip.

 

Wonder if dells name will be on the statement

 

Thread originally started 27/4 and then went quiet from mid May to yesterday. Just thought I would put the record straight about it being the Americans and that CM had used the word "imminent". Was a good night with great anecdotes from Bally and a some good insight into the way they want to build up the scouting network again and a few nitbits about the academy and kids who have left/being looked at.

 

Would be massive if it was, even if it clarified he'd be a silent partner, but I imagine they'll leave it off. I think he'll be involved (or will get involved later, if all 3 of the blokes who manage his money are involved I'm sure he'll be kept abreast of how its going, even if it is a personal venture for the other 3), but putting his name down might just add extra money to every player we try to buy, and might create unreasonable expectations among the fans. I think they'll try to strike a balance between it sounding exciting for the fans but not overpromising/ setting us up for other clubs thinking we'll be throwing money around when it's highly likely that we won't

 

The usual about money and the owners

 

For what Donald and Methven have done so far there's still people slagging them...

Come on guys send us your RTG usernames so we can see we can see who you lot really are.

Saying shorts a nice lad for walking away from his debt haha laughable really...

 

I'm Rocky and on RTG I'm rocky.

I think the clubs neglect of a proper scouting system 8s absolutely shambolic. The recruitment is even worse. The academy sides are shocking as well.

Donald and Co take some of the blame for that. I'm sorry if that offends anyone {I'm not really}

 

I'm BigPete funnily enough

 

People are entitled to post honest opinions and everyone can respond.

I've decided not to ponder who's who, just respond to the comments.

I'm always open to have my mind changed by sensible debate ....

... I changed my mind on Short as an example.

 

Who said 'he was a nice lad for walking away'?
I know I said he deserves praise, thanks for pumping north of 150m that he will never get back.
How much has donald put in?
I know he deserves praise for when after he walked he wrote off the remaining debt
When he came into the club ( after buying out the jolly paddies ) we were in serious debt and heading for the poor house. He wrote off or capitalised 60m of debt courtesy of roy keane buying ****e with no resale value.
He may not be a nice lad but he spent more than donald ever will. He stopped us going under.
The disdain some hold him in just for hiring a woman as CEO is bewildering
