    All right mate, nice to see you.

    This is a very good little board with decent lads from all over the world.

    No cliques, no thread derailing, just people talking about football.

    Well, I've just stumbled upon this forum from a friend of mine.

    Can't wait to have an actual educated discussion on the potential takeover, as opposed to the other place.

    Just been WhatsApping someone who's a clued up accountant and quite well known, if a little grumpy.

    He confirms what I mentioned earlier, that the current inquest into staffing issues shows that not only are the new owners 'confirmed' but are 'at work'. I've absolutely no idea what will happen next but it seems they're examining how useful staff are at every level. I suspect they'll create a fair degree of bad feeling if they cull local people in the offices, ex-players at the club and anyone who's not hard hitting and professional.

    But they'll bank on success, on the pitch, distracting the hoi poloi :)

    Sounds like a restructure all round, which is only good. Staff were scared of that word in the STID series on that last episode, so hopefully it strikes fer again. We can't be a club that idly stands-by now and allows money to just be pissed up a wall.

    Most people on here work mate, early to bed etc.

    Previous 3 posts not likely to encourage any response to be fair.
