    • Anyone just hear the interview? apparently

    • seemed very confident about the T/O still
    • All papers signed, everything done. No idea what the hold up is
    • Pissed off about the clubs communication.
    • Urged people who doubt the trust to come and shake Gary's hand when the takeover goes through and admit they were wrong.
    • Snoddy never left for the money, purely based on running out of patience with the club's ambition.

    Does it not worry you Bucks that maybe they haven't got the total funds in place? I mean if papers are signed and a deafening silence evident there is obviously something wrong??

    I believe the takeover is there but like everyone else, you wonder why they are taking so long, maybe one of the backers has pulled out?

    Even more worrying that they spoke to Snoddy and whatever they said to him it wasn't enough for him to believe that there was enough ambition. If they had said to him look, we are 7 days away, we are giving the manager £8M to spend and here are some of the targets we are hoping can get us promoted.... I would love to know what they said to him and why he felt it lacked ambition still or are the current signings evidence in Snoddy's eyes of that?

    Again Warnocks dealings and signings do not suggest money is available just around the corner, it is a mystery that needs resolving sooner rather than later.

    I found out who the takeover people are. It's the Twinkies <ok>

    They're a hardcore transsexual Indian pop group with a penchant for chickens

    Not worried mate I trust BIG and LUST. The hold up seems to be Bates end and thats probably because he has got to get 17 different signatures the dodgy bastard!

    Signings will come in, credit to Warnock for his wheeling and dealing so far <ok>

    Suggestion from all corners is that the hold up is, unsurprisingly, at Bates' end.

    All fingers now seem to be pointing to Bates end. LUST have been in contact with them but cant confirm the date the takeover will take place and the hold up seems to be Bates end.

    Initially there was frustration as to why the owners haven't come out and declared as the paperwork has been done, but unsurprisingly there's been a hold up Bates end. Maybe the snod money is the deal clincher for the clever old bastard? Should get his beloved Chelsea a nice new upgrade on there scoreboard and make us evens. After all the kind old man never even took a wage for all the trouble he took.

    Strange that he hasn't been seen or heard from. I know he would want to avoid T/O talk but I am surprised he wasn't spitting out his vile dribble after taking on W Yorks police and actually winning a court case for a change

    This is the part that is troubling me.

    Perhaps he just did not believe in the World According to Warnock and/or wanted to join Jonny Howson.

    Key word is seems though.

    Yes it may seem to be on Bates' end. I'm not a Bates fan, can't wait for the takeover to be done, but just because he's not been the best for us doesn't mean you can assume without reason that it is him. He may have his part of it all done and dusted, have to remember that he isn't a 100% shareholder, I think he's about 70%. If they've bought just his shares then that's fine, it's between them 2. But if they've bought 25% of his shares and the other 30% that is non-Bates shares, well there's a lot of other people involved then.

    Bates wants a stack of cash, investors haven't put the TOTAL amount on table yet. Snods sale pushes price up as more cash in business. It may still end with just investment with option to buy when in Prem.
