    Do you think the club is up for sale or more of a he'd sell if someone came in situation?

    Don't want him to sell but I suppose it's exciting in a way.

    He sets the agreement and that's the issue. It's always about him and his input.

    for me the last takeover was exciting but this one won’t be. I think we’ve got a good owner now and the next one might be a wrongun

    My worry on a gentleman's agreement is that that's what we have with Still for the summer. He's definitely the one they want imo. And if we continue the way we are going now he will **** us off

    Appreciate that mate, even if it is ****e news!

    So I assume from what you have said his plan isn't to plod along but to sell up! As I said before it's risky, we all know there are more terrible owners out there than good ones so who knows what could happen if he does sell!

    Of course he sets how it's run. He's the Sporting Director. That's his job.

    to be clear it might get exciting if we get names of people it might be and they seem genuine. But even takeovers that look good have bitten way too many clubs in the arse

    Like I said earlier with my Warnock suggestion, I just want some fun supporting the club at the moment and if thats excitement over a new owner I think i'd take it:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Aye I have a feeling we had no choice but to keep him. Doesn't mean we need to play him though! I'd even put Jobe up top before him!

    this summer could be fun or it could be a ****show if we start selling players to get more cash in the bank for the sale but then nobody able to spend it.

    Suppose so, just think you attract nutters like the bearded bloke (can't remember the name) if it's actually up for sale

    And he has failed and it's caused issues. We have someone significantly unqualified to be in the dugout. His mate btw. And we are in free fall. We have and 3 **** transfer windows. The squad is lacking balance.

    His job. His calls. His failure.

    The press do that. He was never ever even close. The plastic bag that just flown past my head, had more of a chance. Media have a lot to answer for.

    Anyway. I am off here for the evening. Interesting few months ahead.

    Think we'll get a sense of direction early on.

    Big summer with all of these to be sorted;
    Ownership
    Speakman
    Head coach
    Transfers out
    Transfers in
    Rigg contract

    Probably missing some things there.

    I’ve no idea how clubs get valued but if you think about it the squad value must come into it. If you add up the value of our squad it’s probably close to £80-90m before you even include things like the stadium and training facilities
