Takeover Rumours

It’s tricky looking for nuggets of truth in the mass of misinformation.

Nick Barnes tonight said his latest information had come from the most impeccable source possible (I’m reading that as SD) and said that everything was on track but because of the enormity of the deal and the sheer scale of paperwork to pore over with a fine toothed comb, that due diligence would take a few days to finalise. He said the papers are with the EFL who's legal team will be doing their own version of due diligence.

Given the recent shenanigans with Bury & Bolton you’d expert the paperwork to be scrutinised in forensic detail.

Could the bald bloke be Neil Fox? Donald appointed him to the Safc board shortly after buying the club. He seems to be Donald's go to man when it comes to business advice. The fact that Coton is might indicate there will be very little change in personnel on the football front which is what I'm led to believe.

The bald bloke definitely isnt neil fox. Neil is smaller dark hair with glasses, when i went to do the seats he turned up with SD... Could this be Paul Walls??

Edit: its not paul walls as just looked and he is a big fella with dark hair

He does realise that Dave the rave, despite being a MLF, isn't technically a club source, right?
 
I was asked by a mate at work today about all of this. He is of the unfortunate persuasion but not at all blinkered and a very good egg all round.

"But if these guys are genuinely billionaires, what the hell is in it for them? It was and is a good question.

I had to tell him that I haven't got the first clue as to what, if anything is going on and, that if the rumours are true, which even pessimistic owld gadgies such as myself can at least half believe, then it will represent a mystery of the ages.

I have told him that there is likely to be a monorail, heiliport, airport and stock exchange put in place without delay. And that cheesy chips will still always be available.
