I wondered why they have been pondering over an announcement, considering all they had to say was “we have been taken over”. It’s fairly obvious now , it’s because those 2 are holding on and they need to try and sell that as a positive

Not so sure about selling it as a positive. More like if the takeover was a pair of y-fronts, they'd be the skidmark on them and it's a case of letting us know the skidmark will still be there. While it would be pleasant to get rid of the skidmark, it's only possible to make it a bit smaller in the initial takeover wash but the y-fronts can be washed again at a future date and then the skidmark is removed entirely.

I'd normally pm you mate, but this is all leaking out now.

My question is, have you had anything mentioned regarding future sponsors and stadium naming rights.

I've been told to 'watch this space' and that it could ruffle a few feathers ...

... the word my 'friend' keeps using is 'circumvent' :bandit:

If there's a way (and there will be) to circumvent these preposterous new salary cap regulations, these people will have already worked out how to do it. That's a stick on!

Chuffed for you mate.

I’m slightly miffed that Donald and Methven may still get a profit when they have lied from the get go but it seems they are going to be peripheral. They need to stay out of the way and keep their heads down and mouths shut.

But this looks like a potentially fantastic new start for us. Looking forward to seeing who the other consortium members are and hopefully some good new strategic appointments.

Thanks for the updates mate. Appreciated.

Have i missed something. Why are people referring to other consortium members when i thought the reports were the french kid 60, satori 20, parasite 1 at15% and parasite 2 at 5%.
 
Why the **** did Gooch foul then when Willis had it covered. We give far too many fouls away around our box.

There's far too many like that mate. They can't be impartial towards us because they're too involved with the mags. Or the paper they write for backs the mags for whatever reason. Simon Bird, the Mirror (part of Reach Media, which owns the Chronicle and Journal), the Custuses (or Custi if you prefer the Latin references, and say it in a brummie accent makes it funnier) at The Sun, The Mail has hated us for years back to the 1990s. You can almost hear them saying something positive about us through gritted teeth, or they look for some way to take the shine off it.

I've just gone through it again.

What he's saying is that a price has been agreed before due diligence has been done.

Which is basically, "OK I'll give you £22m oh and, btw, do you mind if I have a look at the books to be on the safe side."

Nonsense.

Bit that's what Ashley did when he bought the mags
