    Why do you need to know more? So you can pick holes in it.

    I suggested a while back that there would be no fanfare. I think it’s the right way to go. At the end of the day what they have invested isn’t really worthy of a fanfare.
    Why advertise wealth ?
    What is worthy of a fanfare is the fact that they are on board. I think it’s a small step towards a takeover. Let’s hope we get under their skin.
    Ive just re read this. It is a small step but it’s also a massive step, if you know what I mean.

    No. I want to know what kind of things might lead to them having a bigger say and us getting more money. How are people here so hostile to the most basic questions here? All I'm asking is to know what kight trigger the conversion.

    He won't have a positive word to say about it and actually mean it. He'll pay lip service to being pleased but gagging to find fault or try to prove someone us lying, usually based on semantics.
    SD can be traced back to the height if summer talking about "investment" and him remaining. It's happened.

    You certainly won't find that out by asking questions on here, as well you know.

    You also said we'd be pleasantly surprised when the details came out. All I'm saying is it'd be lovely to get some of those details and be pleasantly surprised, rather than right now being cautiously optimistic that there's better people involved in some way.

    As you said, they don't deal in loans, and you couldn't see it being a loan as that would mean they lacked influence.

    I said I am happy, but when we've been told by someone so ITK as smug that it's a takeover, and that we'll be pleasantly surprised by the details, then yeah, I'm hoping for that, not what (without detail) is a loan which gives them no say in the club's running at this point.

    I have my opinion but I'm just a stranger on a chat forum who might well be making everything up.

    If you told your partner you were risking your house on that opinion they'd be quite right to kick you into touch.

    I dont believe you are happy. You will continue to try and pick holes. I believe documentation comes out this week? You'll be all over it like horse ****e and twisting to suit your agenda.
    You also asked me about freedom of speech...can you really practise it using a nom de plume?

    Just a thought, but how about we take the interview on Friday where CM said it would help us with phase 2 and that there was money for the academy and scouting as that's the details.

    Then just enjoy the ride?

    But I'm not. I'm just asking for more details, and people are jumping on my back. I want it to be a takeover. Is that wrong?

    Yes. You can indeed.

    And this is the serious takeover chat thread. If you don't want to discuss details, maybe this thread isn't for you.
