Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

[Grumpy Old Man]

What happened to Tony Davidson then? Is he working again?

Northampton Rugby I think.

 

[Why sack Durban]

Not sure that there will be a Sporting Director in addition to the Birmingham fella

 

[luvulongtime]

Can’t wait until we announce:

New major shareholders x 2
Chairman
CEO
Sporting Director
Technical Director
Academy Manager
Head Coach
Assistant Head Coach

Won’t be enough scarfs knocking around.

it'll be like a Bay City Rollers concert

Even though they're 20 years before my time, I know what you're saying

 

[Jasper]

There won't be a chairman and the CEO (whose duties will be solely admin) is already here.

How do you know that they won’t appoint and a chairman and that the current incumbent CEO will retain his job?

 

[The Beautiful Game]

What happened to Tony Davidson then? Is he working again?

A good example of why Charlie and Donald need to be shareholders and nothing else. A good appointment that was hamstrung or overruled all the way.

I don't, but if the other moves afoot are as suggested, there's no real need. Chairman is pretty much a courtesy title anyway. If there is one, it will be JS or K L-D as non-exec chairman.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

He's getting hammered on Twitter.

Thank god. Bloke is an absolute specimen!

Soo... even though we're at the stage where staff are being recruited and l'equipe is basically telling us how they're being headhunted... this gimli lookalike is still playing his deranged game ... Will he still be playing it after the new boardmembers do the pr blitz post ratification?

He'll move on to claiming he's acting as a consultant.

I honestly have to applaud Dickhead's commitment to the grift. We can all see that it's bullshit, but when someone looks him up in 2 years time, they'll find nearly 6 months worth of articles that make him look plausible and well connected.

At some point, someone will give him a lot of money and likely never see any of it again.

Tom Baker as Dr Who wearing a red and white scarf - I like it.

Hows the hurdles and goalposts looking today?

Imminent IIRC.

Imminent IIRC.

Ties in with what I've heard. Should be done in the next few days.

I have a mutual friend with one of the owners.

On the takeover, I’ve never known who it was, just that it’s all been slow moving then more recently “done” etc. So there’s a lot less gossip then when the FPP debacle unfolded!

I think on Poyet, senior people at the club were just very confident he was coming and thought it was ok to pass on. Seemingly loads of people heard about it. I don’t know why he turned it down but he did. I’m not some fabled “Itk” or other such nonsense.

I say what I’m allowed to say but I get to know little of specific names. Despite our dislike of the current owners, there’s a modicum of professionalism about what they disclose to anyone at the moment. So I’m finding out the names of those involved in the takeover at the same time everyone else is. The only difference being is that I’ve been confident of it happening for months.

Fair enough mate, all we all want is a bit of happiness and our pride in our potentially great club reigniting.
