From what you have heard, you still think it can be done by Friday?
Just regurgitated what he's read on message board by the sounds of it. Nothing solid at all.
He reckons Chelsea will be top 4 but won't win the title.

Thing is fpp can block the mg deal so it might force donalds hand. Someone said fpp have now stepped as they could risk losing the club which makes sense.
I’m back to skipping 5 pages at a time 
If you follow MG on Instagram and Twitter, it doesn't look at all like he's embroiled in takeover talks with the club recently like. He looks like he's away on a family holiday.
I know there's been groups interested in us almost throughout Donald's time at the club. I believe there were 3 groups seriously looking at us just before Covid put a stop to things, so it doesn't surprise me if 2 appear quite quickly. One (Storey) seems to just be using it for a bit of publicity, and one seems to be people who have always been involved. I know the loan was FPPs idea so it doesn't surprise me that they, or an individual from them, might look to do something with it, it was always offered with a purpose in mind imo. Gray seems to have been looking to put something together for a while as well. I think when a club is so publicly up for sale its not too strange to see various groups having a go at getting a deal done
He was absolutely silent on all matters but has recently started posting personal stuff again. It may or may not mean something.
Yep, they aren't daft. A loan you can convert into shares, and which gives you the power to veto any other move. Even if Donald preferred another bid, unless he has the liquid cash to pay the loan off (which apparently has an early repayment fee), they can just say no.
It looks like he just means he’s on holiday. First post I saw recently was a bit cryptic but the rest are just holiday pics with his lad.
Regardless of how ‘anybody might see’ it as you keep referring to, Bob has clearly stated that it’s not a takeover. Correct?
I really believe it's absolute nonsense that Gray is anywhere near owning the club.
He's turning into our new Brian Clough ...
... the manager we almost had but never did.
Aye that's what I mean, just doesn't look like he's fronting a takeover of a club which is rumoured to exchange hands this week. But then I don't really know how it all works I suppose.
Its like FPP and Gray are having a fight and FPP can veto whether Gray can hit them or not
Yea Bob sees this as new investors coming in alongside people already at the club, plenty of fans will see Donald leaving and see it as a takeover. It's not really that important is it? Let's just hope we get this deal done and we can actually dream of an exciting few years ahead.
Parkinson rips off his mask. He’s Ellis Short. He’s came to take his club back and lose himself another half billion.
Plot twist. Ellis Short rips his mask off. It’s Niall Quinn. ****faced on Guinness he thinks he’s just bought a horse.
ITK.

I've been told, point blank, that 'FPP' wants a takeover soon and no one else has a prayer.
If I'm wrong I'll happily apologise but this is what I'm told and I believe it.
I've no idea where all these various stories, about buyers appearing, have come from but some sound totally fabricated.
This is a massive deal where serious money and integrity is required. Some of these people seem to have little of either.
