Takeover News/Rumours

Not open for further replies.

I can say he was right because the club big mouth was walking around meetings with third parties at the time giving the same week as the completion date.

It wasn't Nixon's fault it didn't go through in the end 😂.
But he wasnt right as the takeover
never happened. And according to the club he never even showed proof of funds. But will never know the truth i suppose.

Check my posts from that summer marra. I don't know where Nixon gets his info from but since he gave a specific week of when it was 'expected' to go through which was the same week as the club big mouth was giving to anyone who would listen I've had my suspicions.

Campbell had free reign to speak to players and staff that summer which is how confident the owners were of it completing.

He defo gets info right, whether thats from club or elsewhere i’m not sure. He’s been adamant since July/August that Sartori & other(s) were trying but also said he wasn’t convinced SD or CM going anywhere.

This American bloke a bit of a surprise at this late stage, but i wouldn’t rule anything in or out with SD

Things change, its a bit strange for Campbell to be discussing signings etc. with Ross and owners telling anyone who’d listen it was happening
 
Did the initial reports also say there may be other names to be added to their group? Could this bloke be with them rather than a separate bid?
There was some suggestion initially
that at least one other name could be involved with Dreyfus but I’ve seen nothing recently. The story that surfaced last night about this American seems to refer to an alternative bid rather than him being linked to the parties currently in exclusivity.
 
13 bids wasn't it?
I wonder at what point they realised they had him on a string. :lol:
Probably didn’t help that they likely knew he was being filmed for Netflix. What’s going to make a big storyline for a Netflix show like that? Negotiations for a big-money signing during the window. Probably figured his ego wouldn’t let him back down or take no for an answer in front of the cameras. Easy money.

Often hear of a lot of other interest when news of takeovers happen tbh. Same happened with the mags when everyone was expecting that to complete for example.

No idea why like but its not that unusual.

That applies for this season only. Everyone's wages, apart from under-21s will count in future season, whether they're in the squad or not. Do what you suggest and fail to go up, and it's a massive problem next year.

Not a problem as most of the contracts are up anyway;):cry::lol:
