    I tend not to believe someone who can't even spell the name of the person they are talking about correctly <laugh>

    Unless Donald has bought Sartori's shares off him, but can he afford to do that?

    I thought Sartori was buying more? I'm mistaken in that case then.

    Its probably all just bollocks anyway - WUMs to get attention(in the case of RTG).

    Maybe we need a board of simple names Smith, Jones, Evans and the like. Then I wouldn't have to think how the **** do I spell the blokes names again? Then just make an attempt not really caring if it's right?

    Na but seriously didn't notice I had changed his name completely.

    That was my impression - the EFL would do the checks on anyone new coming in and potentially if the business plan has changed - maybe Sartori is selling his shares and thats what the EFL have been looking into hence the delay?

    Who the **** knows??

    It's all nonsense mate, ignore it and look forward to us beating Ipswich <party>

    The EFL have no say in existing shareholders increasing/decreasing their shares unless they gain/lose control of the club.

    Even then it's debatable if they'd be involved.

    Do you really believe we'd be making top level appointments if Donald will end up paying for them all.

    From what I recall, others may add to this. The rumours at first were he was buying more and he was to have the same stake as Louis-Dreyfus and they would have equal control of the majority (40% each I think?)

    But that was put to bed when the news broke on SAFC website saying Louis -Dreyfus would be the new owner, buying most of Donald's shares. Since seen articles suggesting Donald selling most to L-D and other two staying the same.

    I read the poster last night that said it on rtg and a few were saying it was another madbob pseudonym. Anyway I thought he was talking **** last night and nothing suggests it’s even more tangible tonight

    GOM is entertaining himself over there ...

    ... glass of Chablis in one hand, swatting away idiotic little flies with the other.

    It would be funny if you didn't find yourself worrying about people's mental well being.

    Wasn't referring to you mate. That lass on twitter spelled his name as Santori.

    The 50/50 split between KLD and Sartori was only ever an assumption based on the wording of the original leak wasn’t it?

    This can not be said enough. Everyone wants news but you can read between the lines.

    We are making positive steps in our recruitment recently and it appears the hires are well thought out with a clear plan on how to improve and move the club forward into the modern era, with an obvious financial output that is beyond Donald.

    The things people are saying and the hires we appear to be making seem to be more thought out and for the benefit of the club than we have ever seen. Biggest issue with Short was his hiring of staff in senior roles was shocking. So it didn't matter how much money he put in the club was being run poorly.

    The fact we are just setting up to get into this data analytics stuff is shocking.

    Haha I realised I'd spelt his first name Kryil, didn't notice she had spelt wrong aswell.

    To be honest mate I always think people are taken the piss out of each other, I was in the Army for a bit and that's all we did to each other especially if you got on with someone.

    I do forget sometime and engage in banter with people at work and such and realise it's not accepted by a lot of people.

    How's everyone doing today?

    I know it's the takeover thread, just I know a few people going up the wall with the way the world is, so I thought it's nice to ask. hope everyone's well.

    Tbh with you I doubt the stuff in the tweet is even real anyway. Its probably just some nob off RTG on a wind up.

    I doubt 100% that Donald would be making the appointments we have. I'm firmly in the "its done just waiting for some pieces to fall together" camp.

    Just need it to happen soon so we can get on with the window and see what options we can take to get things moving in the right direction again.
