Takeover Rumours

Donald is going to be running the club with their finances. They’ll have asked him if he thinks Ross is the right person and he will have said yes. He won’t be getting sacked until we are about 6th around Christmas when the new owners will demand better results.

It’s a shame like as I don’t think Ross will ever get us promoted.
 
Straw poll time: When do we think the news will break?

Day of the week shall suffice.

Monday.

High noon next Saturday...then those of us at a (probably) rain sodden Accrington can celebrate by singing that Abba ditty..."Money..Money Money..It's a Rich Mans World."..

Without knowing what the issues are that are holding it up it's pretty difficult to do anything more than make a pure guess. I think we'll know about the announcement the night before it happens so maybe Tuesday night, with press conference on Wednesday (a tuesday conference would likely be overshadowed by the England match so it would go straight out of the headlines, can stay there longer on Wednesday before the PL build up starts again)

Not via top 2.
4th top is best we will do
 
He has got to go marra,or the excitement of the takeover will evaporate quickly.I was just thinking today could i hand on heart say we are going to beat acrington stanley answer no .

Of all the clubs to say that against man. We've got a pretty good record against them.
 
Its done so announce tomorrow.

Team will prepare away from it all but it may cause issues if delay any more

Waiting till next weekend ain't God idea
 
I've heard it's Gerrard and Defoe as player coach. Gerrards agent has been staying at Durham since Thursday. Gerrard has been on holiday but spent most of it on Skype. Promotion to the Prem bonus being a stumbling block, not money but project timeline and also his monorail clause.

I said Gerrard a couple of days ago and got shot down very quickly as ‘he’s spent £20m and achieved fuck all’
Defoe as a player coach would be amazing and could explain the complications as he’s on loan to rangers until the summer with no recall I think, so not sure how that would work, guessing rangers would have to send him back, but assume he wouldn’t be able to play until Jan unless Bournemouth released him from his contract.
