    It’s not embarrassing from a club point of view, is it ?

    I actually kinda get what you are saying. Things like appointments can be made after he has taken control. I know it looks like it is going through but get it announced and then do all that. Moving goalposts at the last minute is typical Donald and nothing surprises me with him. They need to get in announced and then look forward.

    It's not embarrassing unless you know the reason why it's not been announced yet

    I can't think of a possible way this is embarassing

    If you're Stewart Donald or Charlie Methane, aye it is.
    Your second sentence; that is exactly what the new owner is putting right.

    It’s only speculation no one knows anything really, the last 9 months proves that

    This 100%, the club have announced what they’ve announced, they’ll tell us more when they’re ready to. The speculation on message boards is not their concern, and the only embarrassment I can see is when posters speculate on any board, sometimes for the right reasons, sometimes for attention, sometimes for mischief, and then that becomes real, and then it turns out to be ****e, all of that has nowt to do with the club at all.

    The facts remain as such:
    • the club has announced that KLD will be taking a majority stake
    • KLD is currently in the country and onsite making changes that are pretty visible
    • the UK press expect EFL to approve it this week - having reported a slight hold up due to extra paperwork needed to prove Madrox can stand up to their shareholding
    • the EFL are notoriously slow and useless, although the new regime are clearly starting to TRY to do things better (if not succeeding).

    Anything else is conjecture. So the fact that we expected / hoped an announcement would come over the weekend, doesn't suddenly make any of the above facts wrong. Indeed if we "listened" to what the press are telling us, we should be expecting more confirmation this week, rather than being disappointed it hasn't happened yet.

    The club issued a Christmas statement saying there won't be another statement until everything is in place ... not embarrassing.

    People post all kinds of gossip, info, speculations and chat on a chat forum ... not embarrassing.

    I suspect the only people who are embarrassed are those who work with Mags, etc and are getting a bit of stick.

    Apologies everyone, incorrect wording used on my previous post. Usually super positive but frustration crept in. Hopefully good times will be around the corner

    The media have all speculated on dates based on the info they've been given, I've done the same. I was told it would all be done by last Tuesday which I still believe to be the case.

    It's all irrelevant as it's obviously done ...

    ... but frustrating because we want to be told it's done.

    So essentially, after this latest news from bob, it could be weeks until there's an announcement at the earliest?

    You'd think that this was the reason for the delay from mid Jan perhaps. Media points the this week and the fact KLD has been around suggests it's imminent. Hopefully he's there tomorrow, sky cameras on him.

    I think we all want it to be announced mate. At least we are starting to see his plans taking shape already.

    Maybe. Changes do happen and obviously have happened as time has gone on. It’s gonna happen and it looks like the house is being put in order. Bob gets stick but shouldn’t, the changes are nowt to do with him.
