    Haven’t posted for a good few weeks regarding the takeover / investment. Wanted to wait until all the “it’s on / it’s off” rumours had calmed down.

    I’m posting with a lovely warm glow of satisfaction and contentment that this whole saga is about to come to an immensely satisfying conclusion. It may not be the full takeover that was initially expected, however, the fact that this will hopefully be the expectation further down the line is good enough for me.

    I wanted to single out @Smug in Boots for a special mention. We’ve never met but I wanted to say that you’ve handled these last few weeks with integrity and class. Your character and reputation has been questioned and in some cases ridiculed by certain other posters from “over the road”

    You've gone out of the way to share your information as much as you could and it’s brought a tremendous sense of satisfaction, pleasure and hope to all of us for the future of our great club.

    When all of this is concluded I hope you get some sincere apologies from some.........but I wouldn’t hold your breath!

    So from a fellow fan and poster, I just wanted to say thank you

    Sadly, this isn't our usual gig with absent foreign owners where we have the run of the place.

    The owners live here but they're absolutely charming, the lady of the household is from Chilton near Ferryhill.

    TBH I'd have gone for the job in the south of France but Mrs Smug deserves a period of tranquility ....

    .... after all she has to live with me <laugh>

    Getting ahead of myself but **** it.

    When we get back to where we belong and the away fans sing "where we're you when you were ****"

    We can all answer ****ING HERE.

    Have you been told how the investment will work out? or do you expect that to be mentioned in the statement. I have a feeling with Donald batting down the hatches, regarding twitter, and the RR podcasts (I can understand why he has, and may have even been told to do this) that the statement will be quite short, and low key.
    I hope it's not too low key, and gives some detailed plan, but am just glad it's finally gonna be finished (For now) God knows how relieved you will be when it's finished! :emoticon-0141-whew:<cheers>

    Twas only a joke mate but you have hinted at a couple of posters that know more than you but don’t want the flak.
    It’s looking good all round now mate, I can’t wait for them to get started on the rebuild.
    Onwards and upwards.
