    I think we’ve all realistically accepted this is gonna fall through.

    Well at least I have anyway, will make the official confirmation less of a blow.

    For the sane people on here, the post over the road is from a random who claims to know an ex player who apparently knew about maja.

    About as reliable as me asking my dog what's happening.

    For the record, my dog is asleep for a change and won't want distrubing until mid morning tomorrow (he likes his sleep)

    Nixon clearly doesn’t believe it’s off.

    I think the only news we're going to get regarding the takeover now is gonna come from the club. Whether it be good or bad but I honestly think, as Smug has said, we are far too far down the line now for this to fail.

    For him to be getting info today about the badge, then a few hours later someone is now saying it's off seems a bit far stretched. It's a week tomorrow since SD said '1 to 2 weeks' and its been all quiet from the club. That's a good sign for me otherwise either party would have said it's gone pear shaped.

    I suspect they’re just being careful. Looking into absolutely everything to make sure they don’t get any surprises the way Donald and Methven did - for instance Alvarez.

    Exactly mate, if it takes 6 weeks it takes 6 weeks, if it takes 10 or more then so be it. Rather have careful owner/s than an Ashley who completely screwed up his due diligence and found mountains of crap once he'd sat in the chair.

    It's not even that reliable.

    "I hope to God it's wrong but just had a message off a mate who is close to an ex player and he's messaged him to say the deal is off."

    That board has seriously lost all sense of reason.

    I'm simply being told the same thing over and over.

    The Americans are just going through the club and finding bad practice at every turn. It's just to strengthen their hand and not to threaten the deal.

    The worry from me is that they get so sick of unveiling crap after crap they either just walk away or SD gets peed off and calls a halt to it.

    SD knows that if he pulls the plug then all the goodwill shown to him will be gone.

    this is our chance.

    I believe both sides are too far down the helter skelter to turn round and go back.

    If its off, then so be it. If its still on then so be it.

    As long as safc are still here, that's all that really matters
