No problem mate it’s no different to how Smug gets his info. I appreciate anyone that hears decent nibbles and shares them.
However to suit my red n white tinted full blown biased as **** head in the sand love for the useless bastards I’m going for the ‘everything’s looking good’ version. Roll on world domination. :emoticon-0105-wink:

Feel free mate, I'd say I'm very confident that we're nearer the start of the process than the end, so thought I'd add that to the thread to temper expectations, but I'm not going to go on and on about it like some do! I'll follow the thread with interest and discuss any developments that are talked about but I won't go pouring cold water on things constantly, not really my thing! For what it's worth I think people here are getting info from good sources and passing it on in good faith, whether what they're being told is correct is a different matter, I hope it is!
 
This may not be what people want to hear but it's the best I can do. I 'understand', after asking lots of people, that there's been meetings all week and the participants have changed from last week. I wasn't given much info, as you'd expect, but it doesn't sound like the top level people have changed if you see what I mean. I take it, from what I gathered, that the buyer & seller have dipped out and left things to the legal/admin people on the 'second level'. In my opinion that's a huge step forward but other people might disagree. I've asked Grumpy Old Man, by text, if he concurs as he's far and away the best man to ask. I'll post his response although, sadly, he thinks posting on one forum takes enough of his time. As his choir work has been curtailed I'd hoped his sign up but he's reluctant, I'll ask again.

I'd doubt a multi-billionaire would sort out the nitty gritty when he can pay people to do it for him

I wouldn’t expect you to bang on mate you weren’t like that over the road when I was on. But like you say you’re still optimistic but unlike me you’re not expecting it before The News at Ten, toneet.

The wife of my Russian boss had a maid who's only role was to pack her underwear individually in specially bought tissue ...

... she would fly her to Moscow, or her next destination, to unpack it.

She travelled to one 5 star destination after another, I'm drunk BTW.

I’ll do it for less money marra. Take this as my application, I’ll supply my own special tissue. :emoticon-0105-wink:
 
About what?

I was back to being like a bairn at xmas past couple of weeks, I’m nearly 50 , just really want it over the line, I’ve stopped checking threads regularly this week, which is what I mean by excitement waining.

I won’t be going back until Donald has gone, which is going to be kill me, but I believed only way to get him out was via his pocket, I know Covid has helped push things along massively.

Just couldn’t do nothing and sit and watch him strangle the club.
 
No one has walked away, but I don't think things are anywhere near as advanced as has been suggested. Agreements on price, final sign offs, I don't think we're there yet. This is from someone I've known for years, who I trust, and who I know gets to hear stuff from the club (not prehab, I've not spoken to him since just after he stopped posting on the thread over the road). Like I say though it's no more credible than what smug is saying, hopefully what I'm hearing is wrong and he's right, but I think we've got a waiting game to play before we can think about a takeover.

I’m sure someone said this last week... and was ridiculed and ‘muted’ ?

To be fair, I mentioned on here that some of the things you posted suggested you had a decent source and just hoped you were wrong. With hindsight, I'm not sure you were, especially about Donald and the price, I'll hold my hands up on that one and apologise

I want shot of Donald as much as anyone. He’s strangling the club... and I have no idea what his game is as he can’t afford us, but he’s been in ‘talks’ with various people for months. Some more advanced than others, but currently, as I’ve said, we are no where near being sold. A lot of false info is being given out, and I’m not sure why or by whom or for what reason. But as I said SD is going to be hanging around for a while longer unfortunately till his price is met or he gets too desperate and has to sell. He still has some of FPP’s money, he’s cutting more costs around the club etc.... he’s going to try and wing it and pray for promotion (crazy I know). Now I’m not mittens or Kildare or anyone else. I’m not going to reply to each post as I got ‘muted’ last time for speaking too much. I only posted in reply to a question directed to me. I’m not here for an argument or to ridicule anyone. I’ve got no beef with anyone. Let’s just get behind the lads, pray we can get some more players in as the window comes to an end (I.e Mr Graham who has been around the academy a number of times in the last week), and let’s get out of this league. A takeover would be great, but it’s not happening yet, so let’s get back to what we are supposed to be here for and that’s supporting the lads!
 
Just to throw what I am aware of there's been no meeting today, people will be back next week to discuss the deal further, there's much more than just the share price to think about, anyone buying or remaining with the club will need to be happy with their end and that's still to sort out.

On the plus side we appear to be recruiting with a plan and a manager who knows what players he wants and the players will be well drilled on what their job is.
 
I've only ever been in prison once in my life, for 3 days in Monaco.

It was a wonderful experience tbf, a cell with a sea view, great food and a TV. I watched the England v Scotland game at Wembley with my feet up there.

A 'lifer' came round, every day, with the library trolley and I chose 'The Naked and the Dead'.

Sadly I was taken to court and released so never got to finish the book ...

... damn that lenient judge <doh>
What were you in for Smug?
Crimes against RTG/SMB.
No the wonder you were found not guilty.:smiley-finger007:
