If it is really is in contract review as the rumors seemed to be converging, then quiet is good for a while. More news of other bidders at this point might mean not as far on. The absence of the 'off' / 'not-off' threads that we had last time is encouraging, what ever is going on.
Disappointed it’s not gilt edged. (denoting companies or their shares considered to be a reliable investment, though less secure than gilt-edged stock) Didn’t know what blue chip meant
I’d take “deal agreed” with a pinch of salt tbh. It’s not that I don’t believe wheatsheaf, I absolutely do, it’s just that there’s more than one “deal” here. Charlie Methven thinking the deal is done is very different to the buyer and KLD thinking it’s done. If he’s agreed his price and his lawyers are happy, then the deal is done as far as he’s concerned. But there’s still due diligence. And there’s still the new owner and KLD needing to sort out stuff. Even then - “deal done” could mean verbally subject to contract or it could mean signed. Different people will use the same language to describe different stages. My point is that “deal done” means different things to different people, AND there are different perspectives, AND there is the risk of Chinese whisper. Just got to enjoy the snippets we get and wait for good news
All these rumours and itk posts are class and this is a brilliant thread. I do believe these lads get good info and post in good faith at the time they get it, and fair play to them. I'll wait for SAFC Twitter confirmation, but in that absence of that it's going to be F5 all day tomorrow
And me. Then once this is over we have silly transfer season during the summer holiday. Can’t wait for the football to start again so I can go back to living a life.
