Serious takeover talk

I really hope the few that say the investors are here and ready to tell the world today are right...just listening to the Max Power interview, where does the 'next 4 days' come from? he doesn't mention anything apart from the fans have told him that they are going to become the richest club in the world?

 

I think Stewart Donald is at the league meeting today. Amongst other things, they are voting on the Bury situation. I can't see them doing a press conference without him there.

 

This is a very good, and important, thread . . . . we don't want to spoil it so let's keep it that way, lads and lasses, to avoid any more reports/disruption

 

Hi Riv,good to see you too. I'd heard you were using your enforced vacation wisely! Keep it coming, sounds like not too long to go now!

 

The next 4 days thing comes from what the bbc said during the game I think...not Max Power.
They then mentioned the takeover again to Max Power during his interview

 

Hope this is done soon. We are overdue something to get really excited about.

 

Looks like it is all set to be announced if you ask me.

 

Cheers mate, if enough decent people post on here it would be emigration rather than vacation. The SMB has become a troll's playground and debate is replaced by personal attacks and deliberate thread derailing.

As for the takeover, I was caught out by guessing that the announcement would be a lot sooner. In my defence I'd been given the same info as the BBC, Echo, the fanzines, etc who all jumped the gun. That info wasn't, it appears, 'authorised by Dell' which it seems is why everything went deathly quiet.

Happily, things appear to be 'moving' again and we can hopefully all relax quite soon. This isn't similar to Newcastle where a takeover wouldn't fundamentally change much.

This is really schit or bust for us imo ...

... in real trouble or in dreamland.

 

Thanks for the info and for keeping us informed. Seems a much more relaxed site where people can post without immediately being jumped on.

 

Hopefully mate. Been trying to keep up with the thread on RTG but there's too many posts to sift through.

 

Cheers for the update.

 

The only people who are jumped on are idiots who think they can outfox the Mods.

They post and interact just like everyone else so can spot the obvious trolls and wums.

Much better than the lazy Mods elsewhere who obviously have their little favourites and ignore a lot of the abuse.

 

was said at half time on 5 live

 

Donald is with the Consett branch tomorrow night doing a talk in as well.

Hoping it is announced before then as it could be a cracking night.

 

It seems it is fingers crossed time...

Still hopeful... but wary

 

Thankfully, these American billionaires seem more than happy to tell every man and his dog about what's happening with the deal and it's reaching our supporter base.

Registering on companies house is standard procedure btw. Staveley had set up a company to take over the mags and that still blew out.

 

Well i hope it's today. 5:15pm here and i'm on my 2nd bottle of wine. I'll be well bladdered if it takes another 4 days

 

which pub were they in last night then as mentioned a few posts back??

 

I know that there is an EFL meeting today in London BUT is there any reason why SD would need to be there if something was about to be announced on Wearside and he was required to attend a press conference ?

Surely TD could deputise for him?

What does Smug think?

 

After all that's happened I'd be amazed if Donald isn't involved tbh.

I don't have any info and the lad, at the club, is keeping it zipped. I suspect he's had someone reminding him about discretion.

Pain in the r's from my point of view.
