Takeover Rumours

Not open for further replies.
Flat as a fart now that Ross is staying. Major investment in January will be too late as we will out of reach of the top 2 by then. Absolutely gutted Ross the negative failure is going to be in charge.
 

I'm not sure even the mighty RR can state with 100% certainty that the new owners won't bring their own man in.
Think they are just trying to appear ITK when they aren't

Be interesting to see if they go back to being as Non-ITK as the rest of us once the new men take over and SD is an employee rather than owner

The mags would have a field day with some of the comments on here. Why feel the need indulge in fantasy talk on a public forum?

Who gives a fuck what the mags say man, just enjoy the rumours and bullshit and occasional fact. Hell they've been dancing about singing songs about Amanda Stavley so they can hardly comment on jumping the gun, at least our big money takeover looks like happening

He won't be an employee, will he? He'll have shares and be involved in the day-to-day running of the club.

Surely to be an employee you have to be employed, which he won't be.
 
i wouldn't be surprised to see Ross given another 6 games under the new ownership and if no improvement will be peddled , i would imagine that they already have an idea who they want as a replacement considering there not happy with Ross now

I don't think they'll fuck about tbh. If we don't get required results in say, the next 5 games, he'll be gone anyway.

Replace him in Jan and the replacement has barely got any time to assess the squad and get players he wants in before the window closes.

This ^better to replace now and it gives the new manager time to assess what he needs to bring in for the 2nd half of the season.

I think they're just going to be the financial side of things, and they'll let Stewart crack on. So I don't see Jack Ross going anywhere, at least not in the near future.

They’ll also want to get to the financial promised land of the Premier League sooner, rather than later. Donald might run the day to day but if they want to boot someone who affects the vision, they will.

Equally though, if they don't think we're performing as we should be I doubt they'll blindly throw money Donald's way. Plus Donald does have a reputation for sacking managers, this is his big chance to make a killing with these people involved, I don't think he'll be quite as loyal to Ross as some think
 
Whatever anyone’s views of Ross, Coton, Hill or any of the staff, I think that we need to have faith in these Billionaire’s business acumen.

If we’re not getting results, they’ll make changes. It’s literally that straight forward.

Everything that I’ve heard so far suggests that they’re interested in a long term project. Relax man lads, stop flapping about it.

I don’t mind Ross having a chance under the new ownership, he needs backing with a proper scouting and recruitment setup though so he can work with players that’ll get us to where the owners will want us to be.

Had a better squad than the clubs who promoted last season. His tactics were shite for his entire reign, he only managed a 5th place with the gk man of the match for ages and some brilliant shows from McGeady and Maja.
Not good enough for League One, he would be a nightmare in the Championship if he somehow wins a play off. The man needs to go with new owners or not.
