People need to calm down, if it doesn’t happen then it doesn’t happen, the current owners have the finance for this league and to keep us in championship it’s further investment for getting to the top of championship upwards that they said from the start they haven’t got. If something went wrong all of a sudden with this takeover there will be other interested parties

Still confident it’ll happen.

In fact, Reiver even stated he’d never post again if it fell through and he loves this place! :lol:

I think we’ll be looking at a serious period of stagnation, turgid football and hopelessness not experienced since Crosby, Butcher and Buxton days. There’s no new stadium on the horizon this time and the finances involved in the game means it’d be far more difficult for us to be promoted back to the top flight than it was back in the early to mid 90s.

Gerrin. We're going to reach the FA cup final.

Have they though? We bought 1 player in the summer. And its not just all about money, the recruitment team they have in place will get us absolutely nowhere. That along with them manager wont get us promoted imo.

Well GSM is on his holidays and Reiver is posting any news on another forum. Might be quiet on here for a while.

You reckon? :lol: Given the shit some on here gave @Grumpy Old Man for passing on info then I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't bother on this thread again and I wouldn't blame him.

Where can you read such great news or can you tell us?

I won't say where, not even in PMs like others may well do, as it was already discussed a few pages ago in this thread. I'm hoping that the takeover discussion thread over there doesn't have as much tripe that's been spouted on here continously that just spoils the thread.

I don't care if the info is wrong, tarted up or even made up as long as it's a decent discussion throughout. I don't even care if it's not on topic or doesn't contain any info as long as people just have a f***ing laugh and just see what happens will happen with the takeover! :cool:

I wouldn't be surprised if this thread dies now and ends up with the naysayers, doom mongers, trolls etc to argue about shite such as someone who said it was happening on Friday :lol::lol:

If it doesn’t happen then we’ve blown our big chance, it will be a tragedy if this doesn’t come off.

Personally I’m getting less and less confident as the days go on. Surely it has to be this week or next (or the next or the next).

This is what I’m saying people need to calm down, takeovers can take months to complete. It doesn’t have to be this week or next week we have no idea how close is it to being finalised

I think this is a very naive view, sorry. The current owners don't have the cash to survive next season without promotion or investment.

If people with a lot of cushion to absorb potential problems were to be walking away from deals at this stage, then those with less money are far less likely to take us on. We are a risky investment.
[/QUOTE
And your view is just a guess, you have no idea if they have the money to survive next season

If it doesn't happen some time between the Mk Dons game and the Fleetwood game I doubt it'll happen at all.

Have they? Is there much evidence for this? We’ve reduced the quality of our squad in order to reduce costs despite the owners saying they didn’t have to do so. We barely spent anything this summer and now have a squad that is struggling to be consistent in the third tier.


I aim to please

You don’t need to keep spending in this league, hardly any clubs spend much in this league

I think the exact opposite marra.....There's no news coming out of SD, CM, club as you would expect or even MSD (these lads are professionals) because of the amount of work and restructuring that will be going on behind the scenes.. Once all of the ducks are in a row, which should not be too far away now, i would suspect the club will make the announcement.. No news is good news for me at least. Hold your nerve.
 
Representatives of the club aren't allowed to discuss it. Some will just say they know nowt and could be speaking the truth.

This...There's been loads of claims made on here (some might be true or not I really haven't got a clue) However as time goes by what is crystal clear is no one really knows when this takeover will be completed....
