New owner confirmed…

Sounds like a jaundiced view.

 

I heard that pardon

 

The deal would probably have been done a lot more quickly but the negotiations only began in earnest once promotion was a certainty. The Allams are selling up.

 

I thought 2 deals had been agreed, non promotion and promotion

 

Is earnest near us or do you get there by plane?

 

I heard the sticking point was that the floodlights had to be powered by marine diesel generators.

 

I mean, just sell the ****ing club. Or, don't and release a statement telling us. Either way, for those of you who thought disdain for the fans was a myth, look at this situation.

Yes, the club have to keep a lot about the deals quiet and no intricate details can be released. I understand that, it's how most businesses work. However, the fact that there's been literally nothing for weeks is just ridiculous. If they're staying then tell us so we can bitch about it, shout a collective '****' to the heavens and then begrudgingly move on. If they are off, then what the hell is taking them so long?

I'm not too fussed about transfers coming in and all that jazz; we've resigned two players two new contracts so obviously there's no issue with budgets and whatnot, that'll happen as soon as this is sorted out, but some sort of news needs to happen soon and this radio silence is a sad indictment of what we've come to expect from this club. Our club. Cut this **** out, City, it's getting really boring.

 

Have you been listening to the Flower pot men..Burns and Swann...

 

Talking of The Flower Pot Men, I was watching an old Bernard Manning clip on YouTube, one of his one liners went summat like this...

Bill & Ben went to bed one night, Bill said 'flobabalobalob', Ben said 'swallow ya bastard'

 

No I defiantly read it on here

 

I didn't know you cared.

 

But you were clearly instructed not to.

 

Was the deal agreed if we got promoted but the Allams just decided to put the price up anyway

 

****ing dosile cockwomble arsecunts.

 

Ditto

 

Assem Allam is back to running the family, so the deal should be concluded soon.

 

At least one party are very interested in buying the club, and just as frustrated as we are that it hasn't happened yet.

No. This deal was being done months ago and was agreed before the end of the season, as OLM says.

 

Obviously he's out of hospital, but I think he has no interest in City or the process of selling it now. Like he's always said I suppose. Ehab runs the show now it seems. And he most certainly isn't a man of or his word.

 

If he's halfway fit and healthy I would think he would care about selling the club, considering it's his money currently invested, and him who stands to receive the windfall of the sale. Ehab is just the bloke who inherits it all when he dies.
