So in a nutshell, what’s not being handled well, in your opinion, is the fact that the club hasn’t announced the takeover, because people on here and other places have said it’s done in all but name. I reckon it’s not done yet for reasons I don’t know, and tbh I’ve got no right to know, I’m just a lad who’s supported them for 50 years, but other than my season ticket, or in the old days my mams cash in the fulwell end turnstiles, I’ve no skin in the game. I’d love to know what’s going on, but as with any takeover of any business, I’ll probably only see the end result, when it’s finished. It doesn’t mean the club aren’t handling it well, or appropriately, it just means I’ve no right to know, and given somebody’s putting tens of millions into my club I’ll just have to be patient, cos it’s their business and not mine. That’s my take on it anyway.

You've a right to know marra,because you're a long-standing,loyal fan,who has given years and years of dedicated support.
The first team I saw there was Wakeham,Irwin,Ashurst,Anderson,Hurley McNab,Hooper Herd,Clough,Fogarty and Overfield.
I've been going ever since.
I accept that someone is putting millions into it,I repeat,,I'm not doubting that,or being sceptical in any way about it.....read my posts,I've been supportive of this throughout.But,....
I have a right to know!
And I'm pissed off waiting!

<party> without doubt a dancing man. I am now very content, the annoucement can come whenever it likes. All going on behind the scenes. Its just a little thing that I have been involved with but KLD spotted it on Saturday and its trying to be rectified within a week. superb professionalism.
Bet you wish you did it properly now!

Bit like me and we're both old enough to be patient. Your first team slightly later than mine

Hell mate...that's before my time! Great to see!
You're right,we are old enough to understand the meaning of patience....but,I think it's being taken to the very limit!

I just think it is taking time because of the thoroughness that this new set up is going through and wanting to be able to say something special when they do announce it.
Let's be honest in our lifetime of watching the lads we have had so many false dawns with our club and it is possibly the best takeover ever.
Maybe they have persuaded King Charlie to put his boots on again. Now that's worth waiting for

I think you are right it was selling the stadium, but I didn't realise it was to themselves. I guess there are more question marks if ti is above value and to yourself.
It was effectively selling the ground to the club's owner at an inflated fee. Ultimately he owned both items but as different financial entities. I gather that this was legal in terms of company law but the way this both generated income for the club and how the accounting for that income over different seasons was done were deemed to breach championship financial fair play rules. Hence the footballing penalty rather than being hauled into court for false accounting.

Back to buying over the hill and injury prone players then, nothing changes does it. Now if he was in his pomp, get it done.
